Before and after reveal
A single move that reveals a changed state — the structure behind most renovation, cleaning and transformation content.
The prompt
A slow lateral dolly right along a kitchen counter. The left half of the move shows a cluttered, dull worktop under flat overhead light; as the camera continues right, the same counter is clean, styled and lit warmly by a window, the transition happening naturally behind a foreground pillar that wipes the frame. 35mm lens, steady, continuous. Ambient kitchen tone throughout, no music.

Open in studioWhy it is written this way
- The foreground pillar is doing the work. Giving the model something to pass behind produces a clean in-camera wipe instead of a visible cut.
- Change the lighting as well as the objects. Before/after reads as a transformation mostly through light temperature.
- This needs a single continuous pass — stitching two clips here shows the join precisely where the eye is looking.

Questions
- What settings does the "Before and after reveal" prompt need?
- Seedance 2.5 at 1080p, 12 seconds, 16:9. That combination costs 2,875 credits — about $28.75 — and the studio shows the figure again before you commit.
- Can I change the prompt?
- Yes — it is a starting point, not a recipe. Change the subject and keep the structure: shot type, camera move, lighting, lens, then audio. That order is what these models read most reliably.
