NoCam APIFiles in prompts
How a prompt points at your photos, videos and audio.
In a prompt, refer to files by their position in the request:
| In your prompt | Means |
|---|---|
img1, img2 | The first and second of images |
video1 | The first of videos |
audio1 | The first of audios |
{
"model": "seedance-2.5",
"input": {
"prompt": "img1 walks through the city from img2, moving like the dancer in video1, to the rhythm of audio1",
"images": ["file_person", "file_city"],
"videos": ["file_dance"],
"audios": ["file_track"],
"duration": 10
}
}We rewrite these into the wording each model is documented to understand, so the same prompt works everywhere. Your prompt stays as you wrote it on the generation.
How a clip uses photos: reference_mode
For video models that have a choice:
| Mode | What it does | img1 means |
|---|---|---|
ingredients | The model takes what it needs: people, places, things. The clip doesn't have to start on the photo | The first photo |
frames | The first photo is the opening frame, and the second, if the model takes one, is the closing frame | The first frame. img2 is the last frame |
start | The first photo opens the clip, and the rest are ingredients | The opening frame. img2 is the first ingredient |
Videos and audio always go with ingredients.
Good habits
- Say what each file is for, as in the example. A model that's told "the person from img1" does better than one left to work it out.
- Say what to keep and what to change. Anything you don't mention tends to carry over from the photo: background, clothes, light.
