Where GPT Image 2.5 sits in a Seedream 4.5 stills chain
GPT Image 2.5 is a still-image workspace for production planning. Start from text or references, select Flare or Sunburst, and review each frame before using it in a look book, title sequence, or motion workflow.
Who this page is for
Production teams who lock talent, wardrobe, and locations as stills, then hand selected plates into Seedream 4.5 for video.
Stills habits that survive a motion handoff
Each point is a production stills job, not a generic image feature list.
Hold the person in the coat
Use a reference still of the performer, wardrobe, or hero prop as the starting point for a new image-to-image task.
Light the frame, keep the blocking
Describe a change to the key, fill, or practical lights in the prompt, then compare the new frame with the reference.
Review one note at a time
Upload the latest result for the next lighting or prop note. Each revision is a separate generation task.
Build transparent title plates
Choose a transparent background for title cards and overlay plates, then check the edges before compositing.
Compare two stills versions
Try Flare and Sunburst with the same prompt, references, and resolution to select a frame for the production desk.

Four stills that precede Seedream 4.5
Each job is a stills plate a production team can mark, compare, and later hand to motion.
Keyframe still
Lock talent and blocking from a reference, then explore a camera height or gesture without rebuilding the whole beat.
Title card plate
Design a title or episode card with room for type, including a transparent plate that can sit over later motion.
Location look
Keep the same doorway or street while you test time of day, weather, and practical lights for a look book.
Continuity frame
Reprint a marked still after a wardrobe or prop note and check that the subject still matches the approved take.
