Seedream 4.5

Draw a still at about 4 megapixels, then send it back with one line: blue hour, a red coat, snow. Seedream 4.5 changes that and keeps everything else where it was.

Attach a still you drew as a reference, write the one line that changes it, and Seedream edits it rather than drawing again: same person, same pose, same frame. Each pass lands on the wall as its own still.

Seedream 4.5's edit takes up to ten reference images and composes them into one still. Here it was handed a plain white sneaker and a rose jacquard swatch, and asked for the first made of the second: the sole, the laces and the shape kept, the weave on the upper.

  • Drag the divider: the reference on the left, the fused still on the right.
  • References go in the composer; the studio sends up to ten to Seedream 4.5.

  • 01

    Generate and edit in one model

    Send a still back as a reference with one line and Seedream 4.5 edits it rather than drawing again: the light, the coat or the weather change, the person and the frame stay.

  • 02

    Up to ten references

    Drop reference photos into the composer and they go to Seedream 4.5's edit endpoint with the prompt, up to ten, composed into one still.

  • 03

    About 4 megapixels, any of ten frames

    1:1, 4:5, 5:4, 3:4, 4:3, 2:3, 3:2, 9:16, 16:9 or 21:9, sent at about four megapixels: 2048 by 2048 for a square, 1824 by 2272 at 4:5.

    One price a still

    Seedream is priced per image, not per megapixel, so four megapixels cost what one would. The credits per still show in the picker before you send.

  • 05

    Brief it like a photographer

    ByteDance describes 4.5 as refined for prompt interpretation. Write the light, the lens and the place the way you would brief a shoot.

  • 06

    Talk it through or just ask

    The composer's brain answers when you are bouncing ideas and draws when you ask for the still, writing the prompt as the work.

  • 07

    Every pass on the wall

    The draw and each edit land on your Assets wall as their own stills, with their prompts, to compare, star, sort and download.

  • 08

    Make it an element

    Make element turns a still into a reference a scene is held to, the one way a render becomes a reference here.

  • 09

    Then shoot it

    Attach the element to a scene and every shot's keyframe is drawn from it before a clip renders on the video model you pick.
