Creators use CineMap to stage shots before AI video generation

Gizakdag and Egeberkina demonstrate staging scenes in CineMap before generating video in TapNow. Their examples use reference images or Seedance 2.5 to turn directed previews into finished shots.

TL;DR

A farm inside a magical city began with one sentence. Creator Toshi's separate TapTV demo describes building 3D maps from text and images, while TapNow's documentation distinguishes roaming around the set from moving the camera that actually gets exported. Camera blocking gets top billing here.

A three-stage farm film

Creator gizakdag documented three stages for the fantasy-farm sequence:

  1. Build the world. The creator typed “create a farm in the middle of a magical city”. CineMap handled planning and asset selection, assembling fields, barns, animals, the surrounding city and floating islands.
  2. Direct the shots. Characters received drawn paths, cameras were positioned, and the creator arranged the shots on a timeline: wide, medium and close-up. Instructions could be typed or spoken.
  3. Retexture the previews. The creator sent the scenes to TapNow with reference images, describing the results as retaining the framing and motion while changing the look.

A police chase with Seedance 2.5

Creator egeberkina used CineMap to work through a police chase before generating the cinematic sequence. The demonstrated workflow was:

  1. Place the cars and direct the action in the 3D scene.
  2. Position cameras, test different angles and keep adjusting until the shots match the intended composition.
  3. Bring the scene into TapNow and use Seedance 2.5 for the finished video.

The accompanying video moves from the car-blocking interface to the generated footage, making the staging-to-output comparison the centerpiece.

Portraits, glitch art and short clips

Separate from the CineMap walkthroughs, the two accounts also publish standalone visual experiments:

Exports and access

TapNow documents the mechanics of its related Agentic Previs workflow in its 3D studio guide:

  • Camera editing: keyframes expose position, rotation and other settings on a timeline.
  • Still exports: a paused frame can become a canvas image node or a downloaded PNG.
  • Motion exports: exporting video to the canvas includes only the selected camera motion. The studio node remains editable.
  • Generation credits: previewing, capturing a frame and entering a studio do not call a generation model. Generative tools consume Tapies according to the model and settings.

The guide also describes account-locked access, so the documented entry does not establish universal availability. TapNow hosts a 3D app listing, and gizakdag's CineMap access post is tagged #ad.
