Steal this for your own video
Open on a split-screen of the same [subject]: a rough, unpolished [starting version] on the bottom and a striking [improved version] on top, so the transformation is clear before any explanation.
- — Open on a split-screen of the same street scene: grainy security-camera footage on the bottom and a cinematic AI-rendered version on top, so the transformation is clear before any explanation.
- — Open on a split-screen of the same room: a cluttered space on the bottom and a styled redesign on top, so the transformation is clear before any explanation.
- — Open on a split-screen of the same portrait: a flat, unedited photo on the bottom and a polished edit on top, so the transformation is clear before any explanation.

Transcript
Upload your original video and the new cinematic look that you want to change the video into. You can also upload character references and prop references to help support the video. Upload all of those references into Claude and write out the time codes for each part of the scene and write out the new camera angle that you want the camera to cut to. Then you can ask it to write a SeaDance 2.5 prompt. Copy this prompt and bring it back to magnificent spaces. Change of tier video no be one second longer than your original reference video. Then when you hit generate, you'll get your result. If you wanna try it out for yourself, type AI in the comments and I'll send you a link.
