Storyboard / film pre-visualization

Four-frame storyboard: paper boat

Prompt: Generate a sequence of 4 cinematic storyboard frames telling one tiny story, same boy throughout: an 8-year-old with a red raincoat, short black hair, and yellow boots. Frame 1 — he kneels at a rainy curbside, carefully placing a folded paper boat into the gutter stream. Frame 2 — the boat sails ahead through rippling rainwater, his reflection chasing behind. Frame 3 — the boat approaches a storm drain, the boy running after it, arms out. Frame 4 — he kneels again at a puddle where the boat floats safely past the drain, smiling, rain easing. Consistent character design, rainy blue-gray palette with the red coat as the constant accent, cinematic composition, consistent illustration style across all 4 frames.

Comic / webcomic panel set

Three-panel comic with one line of dialogue

Prompt: Generate a sequence of 3 square comic panels about the same character: a small round orange cat wearing a green scarf, clean flat cartoon style with thick outlines. Panel 1 — the cat stares at an empty food bowl, wide eyes. Panel 2 — the cat drags the bowl across the kitchen floor toward its human's feet, determined expression. Panel 3 — the bowl is full, the cat eats happily, and a speech bubble from off-panel says "FINALLY." Same cat design, same scarf, same kitchen background across all 3 panels, consistent warm morning light, text crisp and correctly spelled.

E-commerce variant set

Product colorway set, one sneaker, three colorways

Prompt: Generate a series of 3 product photos of the exact same unbranded low-top canvas sneaker, identical angle (three-quarter side view facing right), identical light gray studio background, identical soft top-left lighting and soft shadow. Only the colorway changes: Frame 1 — natural cream canvas with gum sole. Frame 2 — washed indigo canvas with white sole. Frame 3 — olive green canvas with off-white sole. Keep stitching, proportions, laces, and material texture perfectly consistent across all 3 frames, clean e-commerce catalog style, no logos or text.

Campaign pair / social carousel

Two-frame day-to-night café pair

Prompt: Generate a matched pair of 2 images of the same cozy corner café exterior on a small European street, identical camera angle and composition, identical awning, bicycle by the door, and chalkboard sign. Frame 1 — morning: soft golden light, door open, a barista setting out chairs, croissants visible in the window. Frame 2 — evening: warm windows glowing against blue dusk, string lights on, two customers with wine glasses at the outdoor table. Keep every architectural detail consistent so the pair reads as the same place at two times of day, inviting editorial photography style.

Recipe / tutorial content

Three-step recipe process set

Prompt: Generate a sequence of 3 overhead food photos showing one recipe's progress on the same rustic wooden table with the same linen napkin and wooden spoon at the edges, identical overhead angle and natural window light. Frame 1 — ingredients laid out: ripe tomatoes, garlic cloves, basil, olive oil, and crusty bread. Frame 2 — mid-preparation: tomatoes chopped in a bowl with garlic and torn basil, oil being drizzled. Frame 3 — finished dish: bruschetta assembled on grilled bread slices, basil garnish, flaky salt scattered. Consistent styling, table, light, and props across all 3 frames, appetizing food-blog photography.

Seasonal campaign / art series

Four-seasons tree series

Prompt: Generate a series of 4 painterly illustrations of the same lone oak tree on the same small grassy hill with the same distant village and church spire on the horizon, identical composition and camera position in every frame, changing only the season: Frame 1 — spring, fresh green leaves and wildflowers. Frame 2 — summer, full deep-green canopy under a bright sky. Frame 3 — autumn, orange and russet leaves, a few falling. Frame 4 — winter, bare branches with light snow, muted gray-blue light. Same illustration style, same hill shape, same village silhouette across all 4 frames, cohesive art-print series.

What does Sequential add to Seedream V4?

Seedream V4 Sequential takes the Seedream V4 engine and removes the one-image-per-request limit: a single prompt can return a connected set of up to 14 images at up to 4K per dimension.

On RenderFlow AI, each image in the set costs 5 credits and the Max Images slider (1–14) controls the batch size — so a six-frame storyboard is one request, not six separate dice rolls with drifting styles.

Why one request beats fourteen separate rolls

Sets that share one look — Generating frames in a single request keeps palette, lighting, and styling aligned across the batch in a way separate generations rarely manage. A campaign series reads as one shoot, not six cousins.

Storyboard math that works — The Max Images slider runs to 14, and at 5 credits per image a ten-frame board costs 50 credits from one prompt. Compared with re-rolling singles until they match, sequential wins on both money and time.

4K headroom on every frame — Sequential keeps V4's 1024–4096 pixel range per dimension, so any frame from the batch can still serve as a final. A storyboard panel can graduate to a key visual without regeneration.

Character and product continuity — Describe the recurring subject once — same woman, same jacket, same cream-colored bottle — and the set holds onto it. That continuity is what separates a series from a pile of variations.

Directing a multi-frame set with Seedream V4 Sequential

Write the through-line first

Open the prompt with the fixed elements: the character or product, the setting, and the style that must not drift. Everything consistent across the series gets stated once, up front.

Number the beats

Describe each frame as a labeled beat — "frame 1: wide shot of the café exterior; frame 2: she pushes the door open" — so the model plans compositions in sequence rather than near-copies.

Set Max Images to your shot list

Move the Max Images slider to the number of frames you actually scripted, up to 14. At 5 credits per image, matching the slider to the beat count keeps spend predictable.

Choose one canvas for the whole set

Width and height apply to every frame, so pick the delivery format before generating — 2048×2048 for feed carousels, wider frames for presentation boards. Any size from 1024 to 4096 per side works.

Review as a sequence, patch with singles

Judge the batch on flow: does the subject hold, does the light stay continuous? If one frame breaks, patch it with a targeted request on standard Seedream V4 instead of re-rolling the entire set.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many images can Seedream V4 Sequential make in one request?

The Max Images slider sets the batch from 1 to 14 images, each costing 5 credits. Every frame in the request shares the same canvas size and stylistic direction.

How is Sequential different from regular Seedream V4?

Same engine and the same 1024–4096 pixel canvas range, but standard V4 returns one image per request while Sequential returns a connected set. Use standard V4 for single heroes; use Sequential when the images must belong together.

How do I keep a character consistent across the sequence?

Describe the fixed traits once at the top of the prompt — wardrobe, hair, palette, prop — and then number the beats ("frame 1: …, frame 2: …"). Changing descriptors between frames is what breaks continuity.

Seedream V4 Sequential or single generations with a locked seed?

A locked seed gives near-variations around one composition. Sequential plans different compositions that belong together. Lock seeds for subtle alternates; use Sequential for narrative range.

When should I use Seedream V4 Sequential Edit instead?

When the images already exist and you need coordinated changes across them. This page generates new series from text; the Edit sibling modifies existing sets.
