A new way to control AI drone footage! -->
Draw lines directly on the image, and let the AI generate realistic drone shots following your path.
A creator generated this FPV-style aerial shot of Guangzhou’s central axis:
Low-altitude pass through Huacheng Square → Skim over buildings and ascend
→ Thread through rooftop structures
→ Circle and dive around skyscrapers
→ Skim across the Pearl River
→ Surge toward the Canton Tower
→ Circle the tower and climb
Urban aerials, scenic fly-throughs, real estate promos, building showcase videos — everything can be done this way!
Just draw the route, let the AI fly it for you, and get professional aerial footage for free.
Step 1: Draw red lines on the image to define the camera path
A few important tips:
1. Match the length and complexity of your red line to the desired video duration... otherwise the video may finish before the camera completes the full path.
2. Draw the red line slightly thicker to help the AI model recognize it more easily.
3. Make turns clear and smooth, and add a small arrow at the end to indicate the final camera direction.
4. For complex routes, it’s best to split them into multiple segments, generate them separately, and stitch the clips together later.
Step 2: Put the storyboard diagram prompt into Seedance
You can use this prompt template:
"Please erase the red lines, arrows, and all auxiliary markers.
The red lines and arrows are only for reference as camera movement paths and must not appear in the final footage.
The shot is presented in a first-person FPV perspective, ultra-high-speed, cinematic, one continuous take, strictly following the red path in the image
Do not deviate, do not skip steps, do not simplify the route.
The shot starts from [Starting Point], passes through [Node 1], then [Node 2], then to [Node 3], and finally reaches [Endpoint Subject] and completes [Closing Action].
The visuals require hyper-realism, smooth and stable motion, strong sense of speed, clear and continuous spatial flow.... do not repeat buildings, do not distort, no text, no watermarks."
Just replace the placeholders
[Starting Point / Node / Endpoint / Closing Action] with your own scene elements.
Step 3: Perform post-editing as needed (optional)
If you want to make the pacing more dynamic, you can merge multiple clips into a single aerial promotional video that’s over 15 seconds long.
In this step, you can:
1. Select the smoothest shot segments and stitch them together
2. Add BGM to enhance the sense of rhythm and atmosphere
3. Do basic color grading to unify the sky, contrast, and overall look
4. Appropriately speed up or slow down parts to optimize the shot pacing
