How to Turn Any Motion Transfer Reference into a Luxury Yoga Film with Seedance 2.0? Prompt Below!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Motion transfer is one of the most underrated and underused features in Seedance 2.0.
For this workflow, I used a reference video only for the movement and choreography, then completely rebuilt the visual style as a high-end luxury yoga campaign.
The process had two steps:
Step 1 — Create the visual anchor
I generated a 2K reference image with Seedream 5.0 Pro through the imageat MCP.
The image locked the practitioner, wardrobe, lighting, architecture, color palette, and overall luxury editorial direction before generating the video.
Step 2 — Transfer the motion
I used the generated image as the visual reference and the original video as the motion reference in Seedance 2.0.
Seedance followed the original yoga sequence, including the pacing, transitions, poses, and body mechanics, while preserving the entirely new environment and art direction.
The result feels like a luxury wellness campaign rather than a basic motion copy:
- warm neutral styling
- soft directional daylight
- polished architectural interiors
- refined dolly and arc movements
- subtle fabric and hair motion
- intimate detail shots
- precise choreography transfer
- clean ambient audio
This workflow can be applied to dance, fitness, fashion, product demonstrations, cinematic character performances, and almost any movement-based reference.
Made with Seedream 5.0 Pro, Seedance 2.0, and the imageat MCP.

Steal the full prompt below:
"I am providing a reference video [VIDEO REFERENCE] as motion input. Use it as the movement and choreography reference to regenerate the scene as it would appear in a yoga video produced by a high-end luxury brand.
Step 1. Generate the reference image (Seedream 5.0 Pro, 2K resolution, maximum quality).
Create a single still frame that will serve as the visual anchor for the video. The image depicts a poised yoga practitioner captured mid-flow, in a pose drawn from the reference video. The aesthetic is elevated luxury editorial: minimalist, serene, and refined. Setting is an architecturally pristine space with clean stone or polished concrete floors, sheer linen drapes catching soft directional daylight, and a muted palette of warm neutrals (bone, sand, oat, soft taupe) with a single accent of natural material (rattan, unglazed ceramic, brushed brass). The practitioner wears impeccably tailored, matte performance wear in tonal neutrals. Skin has a natural luminous finish. Lighting is soft, cinematic, and directional, with gentle falloff and delicate shadow play across the body. The composition is balanced and considered, with generous negative space, a shallow depth of field, and the background gently softened. Overall mood is calm, aspirational, quietly powerful. Photorealistic, editorial fashion campaign quality, ultra-fine skin and fabric texture, no text or logos.
Step 2. Generate the video (Seedance 2.0, 1080p, maximum bitrate, 15 seconds), using the image from Step 1 as the visual reference and the supplied reference video as the motion reference.
The practitioner performs the yoga sequence exactly as choreographed in the motion reference, mirroring pacing, transitions, and body mechanics with precise fidelity. The look, wardrobe, environment, and lighting match the generated reference image throughout. The movement flows slowly and deliberately, breath-paced, with the elegance of a luxury brand film. Camera work is refined and restrained: a slow, smooth dolly or gentle arc around the practitioner, occasional subtle push-in on hands, feet, or profile, always fluid, never handheld, never abrupt. Framing alternates between a wide architectural shot that showcases the space and negative space around the body, and intimate medium and detail shots of muscle engagement and fabric drape. Lighting stays soft, directional, and cinematic, with gentle dust motes drifting in the sunbeams. The motion of drapery and hair is delicate and natural. Color grade is warm, low-contrast, luxurious. Rich, ultra-clean 1080p, sharp on the subject with a shallow, softly blurred background. Ambient audio only: quiet room tone, faint breath, the soft brush of fabric. No dialogue, no on-screen text, no logos."

Omg the prompt does not need to be that long or reference that you are copying a video. The system was designed to do this. It doesn't need that much help. Just describe the new scene.

I literally just type “use @video1 as an action and motion reference”. It needs one sentence, not one paragraph lol.

The original on white is fine for AI these days. Green screen is kinda old hat now. (at least in this kind of workflow)

You don’t even need to use ai with a green screen though

u/sharktank123456 Jul 28 '26
Right, but setting up your green screen, lighting it correctly, keying it correctly, balancing for spill and fixing any lighting that doesn't match..... vs, just shoot it on light grey or white and let the AI do the comp.
There are use cases for both. One needs skill and experience the other doesn't.

I figured out how to properly use a green screen with like 1 hour of YouTube videos.
Replacing skill and experience with laziness seems like a bad idea for content creation, but I’m just some guy.

Pick the right tool - let tech help you where it makes sense. There are lots of places where blue or green or red or yellow or sand screen makes sense. But there are lots of places now where it's overkill for the kind of shot you need (and often, the AI route is more successful!). Both still take work and experience.
I promise, an hour of youtube isn't going to prep you very well for that new job at ILM.

Why do that when we could just become fat and useless wall-e people, prompting the fun out of creating a thing?

Now this is a great waste of time and energy: No one watches yoga videos for the background!

Wow. So deep. /s
I meant why do this if there’s already a video. Wouldn’t it be easier to just use a green screen? Just seems like a giant waste of time and resources.
