Seedance 2.0 Prompt Guide
Master AI video prompts for text, image, video, and audio references
Use this guide to write better Seedance 2.0 prompts for text to video, image to video, reference-based motion, video editing, video extension, subtitles, sound, and camera control.
01 General Prompt Formula
- Subject: define who or what appears in the scene.
- Motion: describe the action, gesture, speed, and direction.
- Environment: specify location, lighting, season, background, and mood.
- Aesthetics: add style terms such as cinematic, documentary, anime, product photography, or realistic VFX.
- Camera: describe close-up, dolly push, tracking shot, handheld, FPV, orbit, crane, or one-take movement.
- Audio: request ambient sound, music rhythm, voiceover, effects, or beat synchronization.
02 Text to Video Prompts
- Use a clear subject and action before visual style details.
- Add shot language when you need precise framing or pacing.
- Mention subtitle text, sign text, title cards, or speech bubbles directly in the prompt.
- Keep rare characters and overly complex typography out of generated text.
03 Image Reference Prompts
- Use uploaded images for character identity, product shape, outfit, logo, composition, or first frame control.
- Refer to assets by order, such as Image 1 for the subject and Image 2 for the outfit.
- For products, ask for front, side, back, close-up, rotation, and clean studio lighting.
- For characters, specify which visual traits must remain consistent across the video.
04 Video Reference Prompts
- Use video references for action, choreography, camera movement, transitions, and effects.
- State exactly what should be copied from the source video and what should change.
- For camera replication, name the movement: orbit, dolly, tracking, push-in, pull-back, pan, tilt, or FPV.
- For motion replication, pair the reference action with your new character, product, or environment.
05 Video Editing and Extension
- Add elements by specifying the time, location, object, and how it should interact with the scene.
- Remove or replace elements while asking the model to preserve camera movement and background continuity.
- Extend a clip forward or backward by describing what happens before or after the uploaded video.
- Connect multiple clips by describing the transition point and the visual bridge between scenes.
Seedance 2.0 Prompt Examples
Product Video
Use Image 1 as the product reference. Place the bottle on a reflective black table, slow orbit camera, warm rim light, water droplets, premium skincare advertisement style.
Character Consistency
Reference the woman from Image 1 and Image 2. She walks into a coffee shop, smiles, picks up a cake, and keeps the same face, hairstyle, and outfit across the full clip.
Camera Movement Reference
Use the camera movement from Video 1. Replace the city with a futuristic tech campus from Image 1, keeping the same first-person dive and smooth acceleration.
Video Extension
Extend Video 1 forward. After the character opens the door, the camera moves into a bright studio where a product reveal begins with soft music.
