Seedance 2.0 Prompt Writing Tips

The recommended Seedance 2.0 prompt formula: @asset reference + role assignment + scene description + camera/motion + style/lighting + sound design (optional) + timeline (optional). Example: '@Image1 as the character, walking through a neon-lit Tokyo alley at night, slow dolly forward, cinematic color grading, warm highlights, ambient rain sounds, 0-3s establish scene then 3-8s character turns to camera.' This seven-element structure, widely cited in public guides, maximizes control over the output. Start with the first three elements and add more as needed.

Many guides recommend a seven-part structure: subject + action + environment + camera movement + lighting/mood + style + (optional) sound. Shorter variant: subject + action + scene + camera language + style + quality + constraints. Example: “A woman in a red coat walks through a snowy street, light snow falling, camera tracking beside her, cinematic lighting, 2K, sharp details.” Avoid vague words like “beautiful” or “cool”; use concrete details (colors, positions, textures).

When you upload images, videos, or audio, Seedance 2.0 supports referring to them in the prompt with @ tags (e.g. @Image1, @Video1, @Audio1). Examples from public docs: “@Image1 as the first frame,” “Reference @Video1 for camera movement,” “Use @Audio1 for background music.” This lets you control which asset drives composition, motion, or sound.

Describe both subject motion and camera motion. Recommended terms include: slow zoom in (dolly in), pull back, truck (lateral move), orbit, tracking shot, static camera, handheld. Keep camera moves simple and stable for more reliable output. For action, words like “slow, smooth, continuous, natural” often yield better consistency; complex multi-person interaction or extreme motion can be harder to control.

For multi-shot sequences, public guides suggest using temporal language to structure the narrative: e.g. "First... Then... Finally..." or "Scene 1: ... Scene 2: ...". This helps the model plan transitions and maintain logical flow. Combine with consistent character references (e.g. "same character as @Image1") for best results.

Common failure causes in public guides: overly vague prompts; missing motion or camera; contradictory instructions (e.g. close-up and wide shot in one shot); no mood or lighting; no sound design when you want audio. For character consistency, add constraints like “same character, consistent outfit, natural anatomy, stable face.”
