Shape Dream Logic with SeeDream AI
Create atmospheric, surreal visuals and integrate them into your CutScene projects.
What Makes SeeDream Different
SeeDream AI specializes in atmospheric, dreamlike visuals. It prioritizes abstract lighting, painterly textures, and symbolic imagery over photorealism. This makes it ideal for music videos, artistic intros, transitional sequences, or any project that benefits from a surreal aesthetic.
In CutScene, SeeDream-generated clips flow directly to your media library and timeline like any other model.
Key strengths:
- Glowing, diffused lighting and soft focus effects
- Responds well to emotional and metaphorical prompts
- Creates unique imagery that stands out from realistic AI generation
How to Prompt SeeDream
SeeDream responds best to evocative, mood-focused prompts rather than technical specifications. Lead with emotion and atmosphere.
| Prompt Approach | Why It Works | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional language: "A figure drifting through twilight, chasing fading shadows" | Sets the mood and tone | Soft, melancholic lighting with ethereal movement |
| Symbolic pairings: "A staircase entwined with melting clocks under a starlit sky" | Creates layered, abstract imagery | Surreal distortions with dreamlike symbolism |
| Lighting focus: "Glittering fog with neon hints in an endless corridor" | Controls atmosphere without over-specifying | Mysterious, immersive visuals with soft edges |
Tip: Start prompts with mood-setting phrases like "In a realm of..." or "A quiet moment of..." to anchor the surreal tone. Keep prompts to 50-100 words for best results.
Workflow: From Prompt to Timeline
- Select SeeDream: Choose it from the model dropdown alongside Kling and Veo3.
- Add reference images: Upload mood boards, color swatches, or inspiration frames to guide the aesthetic.
- Write your prompt: Focus on mood, symbols, and atmosphere rather than specific objects.
- Generate variants: Create 3-5 options and compare them side-by-side in CutScene.
- Add notes: Tag your favorite with notes like "Evokes introspection - pair with ambient audio."
- Edit on timeline: Drag clips to your project. Layer with slow zooms, dissolves, or particle effects to enhance the dreamlike quality.
Staying Organized
Surreal projects can generate a lot of experimental content. Keep things manageable:
- Tag interpretations: Add notes explaining what each clip represents or how you plan to use it.
- Save color variants: Store different color directions as separate assets for easy comparison.
- Pair with timeline effects: SeeDream clips often work well with warp transitions, particle overlays, or slow motion.
