Before you commit to a look, see the options side by side. Describe a frame and this app lays it out as a photographic contact sheet: six cinematographic variations of the same shot, each with a different lens and lighting. It runs on Seedream 5, from 68 credits per sheet.

How to make a contact sheet

  1. Describe the frame: the subject, the setting and the moment.
  2. Attach a still (optional) if you want the variations to follow an existing frame.
  3. Pick a shape. 1:1 is the default; 3:2 or 16:9 give a wider sheet.
  4. Choose speed, resolution and count: Fast or Slow, 1K or 2K, 1 to 4 sheets per run.
  5. Generate and compare the six frames on each sheet.

What to write

Describe the shot itself, not the lenses; the app varies those for you. A clear subject in a clear place works best:

  • "A lone cyclist crossing a stone bridge in the early morning mist"
  • "A violinist practicing by a tall window in an empty rehearsal hall"
  • "A street food cook flipping noodles in a wok, flames rising, night market behind him"
  • "A girl in a red raincoat standing at the end of a wooden jetty, looking out over a grey lake"

Tips

  • Keep the subject simple. One person or object makes it easier to compare the lens and lighting changes.
  • Name the time of day if it matters to you; the lighting will vary around it.
  • Use 2K if you plan to crop single frames out of the sheet.
  • Draft on Fast. It costs 68 credits per sheet at 1K or 2K; Slow costs 113 at 1K and 225 at 2K.

After you generate

Use Recreate to run the same settings again, or Reuse prompt to try a new frame. Send to another tool: Upscale for a larger sheet, Color grade, Erase objects, or Animate to open Seedance 2.0 with the sheet as the first frame.
