Video Generation

Overview

NanoMaker offers several ways to create AI video. Use one subscription and shared credits across all of them.

Main entry: The Video page is the hub. From there you can use the built-in generator (multiple video models) or open a specialized tool.

How to Use

Video models (summary)

Credit cost and duration depend on the model and the options you choose. The app shows the exact cost before you generate. Below is a rough guide; check the pricing page or the generator UI for current values.

Nano Banana Video adds the Nano Banana 2 image step (6-15 credits) on top of the video model cost. Total is shown on the Nano Banana Video page before you click Generate.

Prompt Writing

Good video prompts describe both the scene and the motion. For text-only clips, name subject, action, camera, setting, and style. For image-to-video, keep the source recognizable and describe one clear change over time. When you upload references on Seedance, insert @imageN / @videoN / @audioN tags (see Reference tags in Seedance prompts below).

Prompt Structure:

[Subject/Action] + [Setting] + [Motion] + [Camera] + [Lighting] + [Mood]

Waves crashing on rocky shore at sunset, slow motion, 
dramatic clouds moving overhead, wide cinematic shot, 
golden hour lighting, peaceful atmosphere

Smartphone rotating 360 degrees on white background, 
smooth continuous motion, professional product photography, 
studio lighting, elegant and clean

Young woman walking through busy Tokyo street at night, 
neon lights reflecting on wet pavement, camera following 
from behind, cyberpunk atmosphere, moody and atmospheric

Colorful paint droplets falling into water in slow motion, 
creating beautiful swirling patterns, macro close-up shot, 
black background, vibrant colors, mesmerizing

Motion Keywords

Use these keywords to describe movement:

Camera Movement: "camera zooms in/out", "camera pans left/right", "camera tilts up/down", "dolly shot moving forward", "rotating around subject"

Subject Movement: "walking slowly", "running fast", "floating gently", "spinning/rotating", "emerging from"

Environment: "wind blowing", "rain falling", "clouds moving", "sun rising/setting", "leaves swirling"

Speed: "slow motion", "real-time", "time-lapse", "fast-paced", "smooth and steady"

Credits (examples):

Exact cost is shown in the generator before you run.

Reference tags in Seedance prompts

When you attach reference media, name each file in the prompt by upload order:

• Images: @image1, @image2, …
• Videos: @video1, @video2, …
• Audio: @audio1, @audio2, …

How to insert tags

• Click the @ reference control under the prompt to open a preview list and insert a tag
• Or type @ in the prompt when references are already uploaded—the same picker opens so you can replace the trigger with a tag

What to write after each tag

Say what the file should lock (face, outfit, product shape, environment, motion rhythm, or soundtrack), then describe the new action, camera path, timing, and atmosphere. Keep one main action readable. Dedicated workflow: Reference to Video.

Use @image1 for the heroine's face and ivory dress. Guide pacing with @video1. Keep corridor lighting consistent while the camera tracks backward.

Typical wait: 3–10 minutes for shorter 480p/720p jobs. 1080p or 20s+ is usually 8–20 minutes. 1080p + 20s or longer can take 15–40 minutes. This is waiting time, not the finished clip length.

Seedance 2.0 Mini Settings

ByteDance Mini. Option layout on NanoMaker mirrors Seedance 2.0.

Credits (examples): 480p 5s 80, 720p 5s 171, 480p 15s 238, 720p 15s 513. Exact cost is shown in the generator before you run.

Realistic generation latency (waiting time)

This is waiting time after clicking Generate, not the finished clip length (5s / 10s / 15s, etc.).

Practical expectations (matches the in-app wait hint):

• Faster jobs / lighter models (Seedance 1.0, Grok, Kling 2.1, short Seedance 2.0 at 480p/720p): about 2–5 minutes (often 2–3 minutes when the queue is light)
• Typical mid-tier (Gemini Omni, Veo, Kling 3.0, Wan, Seedance 2.5 short clips): about 3–10 minutes
• Longer / 1080p (Seedance 2.0 1080p + 12s, Veo 1080p/4K + 8s, Seedance 2.5 1080p or 20s+): about 8–20 minutes
• Seedance 2.5 1080p + 20s or longer: about 15–40 minutes

Actual runtime depends on queue load, model, resolution, clip length, and how many media references you provide. Do not treat a 15s or 30s output length as a 15–30 second wait.

Quality Tips

Common Issues

Examples

Social Media Story:

Phone screen showing app interface, finger scrolling through 
content, clean modern design, vertical format, soft lighting

Settings: Seedance 2.0 Fast, 10s, 480p, Portrait (9:16) - 259 credits

Product Demo:

Coffee mug slowly rotating on wooden table, steam rising from 
hot coffee, morning sunlight through window, cozy atmosphere

Cinematic Scene:

Aerial shot flying over misty mountain range at sunrise, 
camera moving forward smoothly, dramatic landscape, epic scale, 
cinematic widescreen, breathtaking vista

30-second single take (Seedance 2.5):

A woman in a linen coat walks into a sunlit kitchen, sets a ceramic mug
on the counter, looks toward the window, then turns and smiles at camera.
Slow push in, natural light, soft room tone, ends on a still close-up.

Settings: Seedance 2.5, 30s, 720p, generate audio on — 6701 credits. Wait is often 8–20 minutes (not 30 seconds). Premium / Max required.
