Prompt Lab — Seedance 2.0

Seedance 2.0 works best when the brief is ordered and the workflow is explicit. Start with Subject -> Action -> Camera -> Style, then decide whether the shot should stay prompt-led, use a start/end image pair, or lean on multimodal references.

How Seedance 2.0 uses references

Text prompt

Use the prompt for the scene brief: subject, action, camera, style and audio cues.

Image reference

Use images to guide identity, product details, style, composition or environment.

Video reference

Use video references for motion rhythm or camera pacing when the active route exposes them.

Audio reference

Use audio references for rhythm, ambience or mood when the active route exposes them.

Continuity anchors

Repeat wardrobe, props, location, lighting and final pose so short sequences stay coherent.

Text-to-video prompt

Use this when the shot starts from language, not from uploaded assets.

Subject:
[Who/what appears + 2-3 defining traits]

Action:
[One visible action or one timed beat]

Camera:
[Shot size + angle + one move + optional transition verb]

Style:
[Lighting + palette + texture / lens feel]

Audio:
[Ambience + 1-2 SFX cues + optional short dialogue]
EXAMPLE

A courier in a soaked yellow jacket sprints through a narrow alley at night. He jumps a puddle and looks back once. Camera: wide tracking shot into a short handheld close-up. Style: wet asphalt reflections, cold blue street light, subtle film grain. Audio: footsteps, distant siren, one short breathy line.

Global principles

  • Write the core brief in Subject -> Action -> Camera -> Style order.
  • Keep one readable action per shot and add timestamps when you want internal cuts.
  • Give every reference one job: images for identity/style, videos for pacing/camera, audio for rhythm/ambience.
  • Use the optional end image to define the landing frame, not a second unrelated scene.
  • Keep dialogue short and pin SFX to visible actions.

Engine quirks / what to watch for

  • Text-to-video is strong for fresh ideation, cinematic camera language, and multi-shot beat planning.
  • Image-to-video is strongest when the start frame stays fixed and the optional end frame defines the landing pose or composition.
  • Reference-to-video is where Seedance gains its biggest continuity advantage across characters, props, pacing, and audio mood.
  • Native audio stays cleaner when music, ambience, dialogue, and SFX are short and tied to visible beats.

Tips and boundaries

Best practices, common fixes, and important limitations to help you get the strongest results with Seedance 2.0.

What works best

  • Strong cinematic camera direction when beats are explicit.
  • Improved continuity with multimodal references.
  • Native audio sync in short multi-shot outputs.
  • High utility for ads, action beats, and storyboard prototyping.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Cuts feel abrupt -> add transition verbs and timestamps (match cut at 5s, whip pan into Shot 2).
  • Continuity drifts -> add anchors (wardrobe, prop, location) and reuse references.
  • Audio mismatch -> shorten dialogue, pin SFX to visible action, keep one ambience bed.
  • Physics looks off -> simplify simultaneous actions per beat and reduce fast interactions.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Complex action stacks still benefit from simpler, clearly separated beats.
  • Reference-heavy prompts work best when each source has one clear job.
  • Reference audio only works when at least one image or video reference is attached.
  • Check the active provider route before scaling production traffic.
  • Use the final quote in Generate before client-facing rollout or automated workflows.
