How it works

Built on BytePlus, a ByteDance company. This template renders with Seedance 2.0 through BytePlus.

  1. 1

    Open Spiral Ascend in the studio

    The video studio opens with the template applied: Seedance 2.0, 8-second timing and 16:9 framing are set for you.

  2. 2

    Describe your shot

    Describe the subject, the pose they hold and the setting around them. You can also add a photo or a saved character as a reference.

  3. 3

    Generate and download

    The studio shows the credit cost before you start. The default 1080p render is 55 credits (29 at 720p).

What the Spiral Ascend template does

The recipe starts about two metres from the subject, orbits counter-clockwise for one and a half revolutions and rises to around 15 metres. The surroundings open up as the camera climbs, giving the shot a sense of scale.

The subject holds one pose throughout or slowly looks up to follow the camera. A single dominant light, like the sun or an overhead spot, stays anchored so the lighting reads correctly from every angle.

Example prompt: A violinist playing alone on a rooftop at dusk, city lights coming on below.

Great for

  • Finales and hero moments
  • Fashion, dance and performance clips
  • Landmarks and open locations that benefit from scale

Questions

How many credits does the Spiral Ascend template cost?

55 credits for the default 8-second 1080p render, or 29 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 Spiral Ascend 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?

Yes. Video templates, like all video generation, need the Creator plan or above; the free starter credits and credit packs on their own cover images only. Credit packs can top up a plan. On the Creator plan video renders at up to 1080p; Pro, Max and Business can also render 4K.
