One Take AI Video Effect
The one take, or oner, follows a subject through a scene without a single cut. This template stages a 15-second continuous shot in the style of films like Birdman and 1917, moving from one space into the next.

What the One Take template does
The camera starts behind your subject at walking pace, arcs round to a three-quarter profile as they enter a second space, briefly leads them past a key object, tilts up to follow their gaze to a reveal, and settles on a medium shot for the final beat.
You decide the two connected spaces, the moment where the subject pauses and what they look up at. The recipe keeps the movement smooth and gimbal-like and uses natural ambient sound instead of music.
Example prompt: A boxer walks from the locker room down the tunnel and out into a packed arena, looking up at the lights.
Great for

Questions
How many credits does the One Take template cost?
122 credits for the default 15-second 1080p render, or 82 credits at 720p. That includes the 2-credit template fee. The studio shows the exact cost before you generate, and higher resolutions cost more.
Do I need to upload a photo?
No. You can describe the subject in words. If you want a specific person, add a photo or one of your saved characters as a reference in the studio.
Which AI model makes the One Take video?
Seedance 2.0. While the template is applied it keeps the model, source mode, audio setting and timing matched so the shot renders as designed. You can still change quality and aspect ratio (the default is 16:9). Clips include generated audio by default.
Do I need a subscription?
Templates run on credits, so you can use them with a monthly plan or with a one-off credit pack. On the Creator plan video renders at up to 720p; Pro, Max and Business can also render 1080p and 4K.
