Virtual Portrait Groups and Assets
If you tried to “Import as virtual portrait” from the image generation page and found no group to choose, this is where you create one.
Where to find it
On the Assets page, choose Characters, then Seedance Assets or Doubao Assets, and open the Virtual Portrait sub-tab.
The view splits in two: portrait groups on the left, and the selected group's assets on the right.
Virtual portrait groups belong to both the current team and the selected provider. Switching teams, or switching between Seedance and Doubao, changes the groups and assets shown.
Creating a group
Select “New Portrait Group” at the top of the left column and enter a name. The description is optional.
When no group exists yet, the left column shows an empty state prompting you to create one.
Uploading assets
Select a group on the left first — only then do “Asset List” and “Upload Asset” appear on the right.
Choose Upload Asset, enter a name, and select a file. The current upload dialog supports:
| Provider | Media types and formats |
|---|---|
| Seedance Assets | Images: JPG / PNG / WebP; videos: MP4 / WebM; audio: MP3 / WAV |
| Doubao Assets | Images only: JPG / PNG / WebP |
Seedance audio must have a readable duration of 1.8–15.2 seconds. If the duration cannot be read or falls outside that range, the page asks you to select another file. These are the current page's selection and validation rules; the provider may still reject the media during processing.
After upload, the asset appears in the right-hand grid. Check its processing status before using it.
The currently selected group shows its asset count beneath the group name.
Check and refresh status
Asset cards show states such as ready, processing, failed, or unavailable. Completing registration or upload does not mean an asset is ready for a video task; confirm that it is ready before selecting it.
Use the refresh icon at the top right of the asset list to check status with the provider again. Your selected group stays open. If some assets cannot be verified, the page reports this and may mark them unavailable. Check the file, provider, and network before retrying to avoid uploading duplicates.
Name search and media-type filters apply to the selected group's visible assets. Clear search and choose All Types if an asset is missing. Pin frequently used assets with the pin button on each card.
Importing from image generation results
Besides uploading here, you can bring in image generation results directly:
On Image Generation, select a successful task, choose Import as Virtual Portrait, then confirm the provider and target group. See View Results and History.
This is why creating groups first helps — the import step requires an existing group.
Deleting
Virtual portrait group cards and asset cards provide a delete action.
Deleting a group or an asset both prompt for confirmation first, naming what will be deleted.
The current page has no recovery action after deletion completes. Before deleting a portrait group, confirm that its assets are no longer needed or have been backed up. Before deleting an individual asset, confirm that no later video task still needs to reference it.
After a group is deleted the list refreshes; if the deleted group was the selected one, the right column returns to its unselected state.
