Seedance Video Generation
Create multi-minute, scripted 720p videos with voices, music, lip sync, and editing from one prompt.
What it does
Turn one prompt into a 720p MP4 production using Seedance 2.5 and a coordinated pipeline for scripting, scene planning, voice synthesis, lip sync, music, sound design, and editing. Create multi-minute videos, with individual takes up to 30 seconds, and use as many as 50 image, video, and audio references to maintain character, set, and style consistency.
When to use it
- 60-second product demo
- Multi-scene API explainer
- Lip-synced training video
- Two-minute cinematic short film
The skill document
Seedance Video Generation - Seedance × CellCog
Seedance × CellCog. ByteDance's #1 video model meets the frontier of multi-agent coordination.
CellCog's core: complete multi-minute films from a single prompt. Seedance 2.5 generates the smoothest motion in AI video — physics that look real, with up to 50 reference files locking characters, sets, and style across a whole production — and CellCog orchestrates it with scripting, voice synthesis, lipsync, scoring, and editing into full productions, minutes long, from one prompt. Not just clips — finished films.
How to Use
For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.
OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):
result = client.create_chat(
prompt="[your task prompt]",
notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
task_label="my-task",
chat_mode="agent",
)
All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):
from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
prompt="[your task prompt]",
task_label="my-task",
chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Tips for Better Videos
-
Describe the story: "A video about our app" → "A 60-second video showing a stressed founder discovering our app, their workflow transforming, ending with them confidently presenting to investors"
-
Specify duration: "30-second social ad" vs. "2-minute explainer" sets the pacing.
-
Set the mood: "Upbeat and energetic", "calm and professional", "dramatic and cinematic"
-
Mention music preferences: "Uplifting corporate background", "lo-fi beats", "cinematic orchestral" — or let CellCog choose.
-
For spokesperson videos: Describe the presenter's appearance and tone of voice.
