What aspect ratio should I use for Instagram Reels?

Instagram Reels use the 9:16 vertical format at full screen. Select 9:16 in Seedance 2.0, then choose the duration supported by your model: Standard supports 4, 8, 12, and 15 seconds, while Fast supports 4, 8, and 12 seconds. This matches the native Reels format exactly, with no black bars or cropping required when you upload.

How do I maintain visual consistency across an Instagram campaign?

Use multi-reference mode in Seedance 2.0. Upload a reference image that defines your visual style — color palette, lighting, scene composition — and generate multiple clips with that style anchored. Each clip in the campaign will share the same visual identity without manual editing.

Can I generate Instagram content without showing my face?

Yes. Seedance 2.0 generates fully AI-produced video from text prompts or reference images. You do not need to appear on camera. The output is a standalone video clip — nature scenes, product animations, abstract visuals, or any scene you describe.

How many Instagram Reels can I generate at once?

You can queue multiple generations simultaneously. Each credit covers one clip — generate 5 variations of the same prompt, compare them, and post the strongest version. The history panel shows all completed clips for easy download.

AI Video for Instagram: Reels, Stories, and Feed

Instagram now distributes video content ahead of static images across Reels, Stories, and the main feed. For creators and brands, this means video is no longer optional — it is the primary format for organic reach.

The challenge is production volume. Instagram rewards accounts that post consistently, but producing multiple high-quality video clips per week at traditional production costs is not viable for most teams. AI video generation makes consistent, high-quality video output sustainable at any scale.

Seedance 2.0 generates cinematic 9:16 vertical clips from a text prompt in under a minute. The Seedance 2.0 model is well-suited to Instagram content categories: nature and travel footage, product reveals, fashion and lifestyle, abstract visual content. The output downloads as an MP4 ready to upload directly to Reels, Stories, or feed posts.

How to Create Instagram Reels with AI

Step 1
Write your prompt
Describe your scene: subject, setting, camera movement, and visual style. For Reels, front-load the motion — Instagram audiences decide in the first second whether to keep watching.
Step 2
Set to 9:16 vertical
Select 9:16 aspect ratio and choose the duration supported by your model. Use Seedance 2.0 Standard for 4, 8, 12, or 15 second clips, or Fast for 4, 8, and 12 second outputs. Use text-to-video for scene-based content or image-to-video to animate a product, portrait, or location photo.
Step 3
Download and post to Instagram
Your clip is ready in under a minute. Download the MP4 and upload to Instagram Reels, Stories, or feed video. Add your caption, audio, and hashtags in the Instagram app.

Format Guide: Reels, Stories, and Feed

Different Instagram placements have different optimal settings. Use this guide to pick the right configuration before generating.

Reels

9:16 vertical · 4–15 seconds by model · full-screen feed placement

Reels get the widest organic reach on Instagram. Use 9:16 aspect ratio and choose the duration based on your model: Seedance 2.0 Standard supports 4, 8, 12, and 15 seconds, while Fast supports 4, 8, and 12 seconds. Strong motion in the first two seconds prevents scroll-past.

Stories

9:16 vertical · 4–15 seconds by model · disappears after 24 hours

Stories are ideal for behind-the-scenes, product reveals, and time-limited promotions. The same 9:16 clips generated for Reels work directly in Stories, and you can use shorter 4 to 8 second cuts for faster loops or longer Standard-mode clips when the concept needs more buildup.

Feed Posts

1:1 square or 4:5 portrait · silent autoplay

Feed video posts autoplay silently. Use 1:1 square aspect ratio for maximum compatibility. Focus on visually striking imagery that communicates without sound — AI-generated nature, product, and abstract content works well.

Multi-Reference: Visual Consistency Across Posts

Instagram accounts with a consistent visual identity outperform accounts with inconsistent aesthetics. The multi-reference mode in Seedance 2.0 lets you define a visual anchor — a reference image that carries your color palette, lighting style, and compositional approach — and apply it across a series of clips.

Generate 10 clips for a campaign, all sharing the same visual DNA, without manual color grading or LUT application in post-production. Each clip is individually prompted but visually coherent as a set — ready to post as a Reel series or a coordinated content batch.
