GPT Image 2 + Seedance 2 Workflow

πŸ—’οΈ Description

A video ad generation workflow described by Raphael Guilhem on LinkedIn. It chains two models in a pipeline where the storyboard from the image model is the prompt for the video model β€” eliminates guessing and credit waste.

Key insight: it’s not about β€œuse AI” but about sequencing models. GPT Image 2 for visual intent (storyboard as a single grid image β€” like old nanobanana), Seedance 2 for motion with continuity preserved between frames.

🧩 Pipeline (3 steps)

  1. Brief + packshot β€” feed the workflow a creative brief and a product image
  2. GPT Image 2 β†’ storyboard β€” generates frame-by-frame as a single image grid; review before spending credits on video
  3. Seedance 2 β†’ video β€” storyboard as prompt, each frame becomes a clip; the model knows exactly what you want because you designed it precisely

Output: a video ad where every frame is intentional. No guessing, no credit waste, no β€œlet’s try again”.

🧩 Why it works

  • Temporal consistency β€” Seedance 2 maintains product detail between cuts (previous tools lost jewelry facets between frames)
  • Spatial structure preservation β€” the pipeline preserves the structure from the reference frame in a way earlier video tools couldn’t
  • Camera control β€” respects camera path intention (smooth dolly, consistent horizon), which was an AI video pain point
  • Economics of revision β€” in a traditional shoot, revision = reshoot. Here, revision = updating the prompt

🧩 Use cases (from comments)

  • Luxury / jewelry commercials β€” temporal consistency good enough for the brand
  • Architectural flythrough (AEC) β€” Sketchup β†’ stakeholder-ready video in half a day (instead of a week with a visualization specialist)
  • Product photography with animation β€” instead of a static packshot

⚠️ Open question: interior vs exterior β€” indoor lighting control is still hard for AI video (most tools struggle with professional architectural).
