@tag. Attach the element once and every image and the guidelines travel with your prompt.
Elements are available in Seedance Studio today, in Video mode. They are coming soon to all other Krea tools, so anything you save now will be ready to use there.
Open Seedance Studio
Elements live in the References panel in Video mode.
Create an element
1
Open References
In Seedance Studio, switch to Video and click References in the composer. The panel lists everything you have saved under All, Characters, Locations, and Objects.
2
Start a new element
Click the New element tile. Starting from a category tab sets the category for you; starting from All lets you pick it before you save.
3
Name and tag it
Give the element a name, such as
Maria. The @tag you will type in prompts is derived from the name, so Bolex camera becomes @bolex-camera. Tags use letters and hyphens only and must be unique among your elements. You can edit the tag by hand.4
Add reference images
Upload up to eight images of the same subject. Shots from different angles, distances, and framings give the model the most to work with. The first image is the cover shown in the panel; right-click any image and choose Make this the cover to change it, or use Remove image to drop one.
5
Write guidelines
Describe what the subject is and what must stay the same in every shot, up to 400 characters. For example:
Woman in her early thirties with a sharp jet-black bob, pale skin, and deep burgundy lipstick. Keep the haircut and the black turtleneck in every shot; lighting and setting can change.6
Save
Click Create character, Create location, or Create object. The element appears in its category and in All.
Use an element in a prompt
Click an element tile in the References panel, or type@ in the prompt and pick it from the Elements group. Either way, Studio attaches all of the element’s images as references and places one chip in your prompt, for example Maria walks slowly into the empty warehouse.
When you generate, the model receives the element’s images, and the prompt names the subject and includes your guidelines so the model knows which images belong together:
Reference limits by model
Each video model accepts a limited number of reference images, and elements count toward that limit. Flux 3 takes only a start and end frame, so elements cannot be attached while it is selected.
If an element has more images than the selected model has room for, Studio asks before attaching it: Remove other references, or truncate this element to X images (down from Y). Confirming attaches the first X images in the element’s order, which is another reason to put your best shots first.
Edit or delete an element
Hover an element tile and click the pencil to edit it. You can rename it, change its tag or category, rewrite the guidelines, add images, remove images, or pick a new cover. Saving an element that is currently attached updates the attached references as well. To delete an element, open it and click Delete. Its images stay in your assets; only the element is removed.Tips for consistent results
- Use shots of the same subject from several angles and distances rather than eight near-identical frames.
- Keep guidelines about identity: features, wardrobe, materials, or architecture that must not change. Leave action, lighting, and setting to the prompt.
- Mention the element where it acts in the sentence. Seedance orders references by where they are first mentioned.
- Give each element a short, distinct tag so
@suggestions stay easy to scan.
