Magnific demonstrates Video Relight controls for Seedance 2.5 clips

• Lighting gets a separate post-animation pass in Magnific’s demo, changing flat daylight into colored night.
• Flat lighting is deliberate: Magnific left room for relighting before animating four-second clips with one shared Seedance 2.5 prompt.
• Light direction, color, additional lights and intensity are adjustable in the Video Relight pass.

The Relight interface includes a 3D preview for positioning lights around a subject. A reference-image mode can also transfer lighting from a photograph.

The four source images came from Magnific One, using 21:9 framing, a muted palette and soft haze. Flat lighting was the smart constraint, deliberately chosen to leave room for relighting.

For the supermarket frame, Magnific used this prompt:

Cinematic film still. A young man in a slightly too big brown suit stands frozen in the middle of a quiet old supermarket aisle, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a single carton of eggs in the other, looking lost and nervous. Soft flat neutral daylight, muted desaturated colors, nothing saturated, no colored lights.

Each still became the start frame for a four-second Seedance 2.5 clip, and Magnific used one prompt for all four:

Slow, smooth cinematic dolly move, like a real film camera on tracks, with subtle parallax. The subject keeps doing what they are doing in the image with small, natural, realistic movements: a breath, a blink, a slight gesture.

Haze and dust drift slowly in the air. Mood: quiet, intimate, cinematic. Color grade: muted desaturated film palette, pale mint and creamy whites, low contrast, fine grain.

Keep the framing, lighting and look exactly as the image.

The Seedance 2.5 motion pass, before relighting.

Magnific dropped the animated clip into Video Relight, then followed three steps:

1. Chose a light direction: front, back, top or sides.
2. Picked a color, with the option to add more lights.
3. Set the intensity and generated the result.

Video Relight has its own workspace and accepts uploads or clips from History, according to Magnific’s guide.

• Output: Video renders at 1080p, according to Magnific’s documentation.
• Credits: Video relighting costs 120 to 450 credits per second on Premium, according to the editing credits table. At that rate, a four-second pass would consume 480 to 1,800 credits, before generating the still and animation. The same page lists unlimited editing for Premium+, Business and Pro.
• Flicker: Videos can show inconsistent lighting between frames, a problem covered in Magnific’s troubleshooting notes. The company’s suggested fixes are lower intensity or simpler lighting setups with fewer lights and less extreme angles.
