Seedance 2.0 Official Prompt Guide

2.3.1 Comprehensive Consistency Improvements

Keep the same character consistent across multiple shots by anchoring to a reference image. Character identity, clothing, features, and style are maintained throughout the video.

Case Example:

The man in @Image1 walks tiredly down the hallway, slowing his steps,
finally stopping at his front door. Close-up on his face — he takes a
deep breath, adjusts his emotions, replaces the weariness with a relaxed
expression. Close-up of him finding his keys, inserting into the lock.
After entering, his little daughter and a pet dog run to greet him with
hugs. The interior is warm and cozy. Natural dialogue throughout.

2.3.2 High-Difficulty / Controllable Camera Movement & Precise Action Replication

Reference a video's exact camera work and replicate complex movements including Hitchcock zooms, orbit shots, mechanical arm tracking, and more.

Example: A man in a black suit flees through city streets — with multi-cut camera changes, maintained clothing consistency, and natural sound design.

Case Example:

Reference @Image1's male character. He is in @Image2's elevator.
Completely reference @Video1's camera movements and the protagonist's
facial expressions. Hitchcock zoom during the fear moment, then several
orbit shots showing the elevator interior. Elevator doors open, follow
shot walking out. Exterior scene references @Image3. The man looks
around, referencing @Video1's mechanical arm multi-angle tracking of
the character's gaze.

2.3.3 Creative Templates / Complex VFX — Precise Replication

Replicate transitions, advertising templates, and cinematic visual effects from reference videos. Swap characters while keeping the creative effects intact.

Case Example:

Replace @Video1's character with @Image1. @Image1 as the first frame.
Character puts on VR sci-fi glasses. Reference @Video1's camera work —
close orbit shot transitions from third-person to character's subjective
POV. Travel through the VR glasses into @Image2's deep blue universe.
Several spaceships shuttle toward the distance. Camera follows ships
into @Image3's pixel world. Low-altitude flyover of pixel mountains
where trees grow procedurally. Then upward angle, rapid shuttle to
@Image4's pale green textured planet, camera skims the planet surface.

2.3.4 Model Creativity & Story Completion

Seedance 2.0 can auto-generate storylines from storyboard images or scripts, filling in creative details and narrative elements.

Case — Manga / Storyboard Interpretation:

Interpret @Image1 as a manga sequence from left to right, top to bottom.
Keep the character dialogue consistent with the text in the images.
Add special sound effects for panel transitions and key plot moments.
Overall style: humorous and witty. Performance style references @Video1.

Case — Storyboard Script Generation:

Reference @Image1's documentary storyboard script. Follow @Image1's
framing, shot sizes, camera movements, visuals, and copy to create a
15-second healing-style opening sequence about "Childhood Through the
Four Seasons."

2.3.5 Video Extension

Extend existing videos forward or backward with smooth continuity. Set the generation duration to match the extension length.

Case — Forward Extension:

Extend @Video1 by 15 seconds.
1–5s: Light and shadow slowly slide across the wooden table and cup
through venetian blinds. Tree branches sway gently.
6–10s: A coffee bean gently drifts down from the top of frame. Camera
pushes toward the bean until the screen goes black.
11–15s: English text gradually appears — first line "Lucky Coffee",
second line "Breakfast", third line "AM 7:00-10:00".

Case — Backward Extension (Prepending):

Extend backward 10s. In warm afternoon light, the camera starts from
the corner with the awning fluttering in the breeze, slowly tilting
down to daisies peeking out at the wall base...

2.3.6 More Accurate Tone, More Realistic Voice

Native audio-video synchronization supports lip-sync dialogue in 8+ languages (including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese dialects). Voice cloning, dialogue generation, and sound effect design are all built in.

Case — Comedy Dialogue:

In the "Cat & Dog Roast Show" — an emotionally expressive comedy segment:

Cat host (licking paw, rolling eyes): "Who understands my suffering?
This one next to me does nothing but wag his tail, destroy sofas, and
con humans out of treats with those 'pet me I'm adorable' eyes..."

Dog host (head tilted, tail wagging): "You're one to talk? You sleep 18
hours a day, wake up just to rub against humans' legs for canned food..."

Sound: Comedy background music, exaggerated expressions, talk show pacing.

2.3.7 Stronger Shot Continuity (One-Take)

Generate seamless long takes that flow continuously across scenes with no cuts — following characters through multiple environments in a single unbroken shot.

Case — Spy Thriller One-Take:

Spy thriller style. @Image1 as the first frame. Camera tracks a woman
in a red trench coat walking forward from the front. Full-shot follow.
Passersby intermittently block the woman in red. She reaches a corner
— reference @Image2's corner building. Fixed camera as the woman exits
frame and disappears around the corner. A masked girl lurks at the
corner, glaring menacingly — masked girl references @Image3. Camera
pans forward to the woman in red as she walks into a mansion and
vanishes — mansion references @Image4. No cuts throughout. One continuous
take from start to finish.

2.3.8 Highly Usable Video Editing

Modify existing videos with precise control — swap characters, alter plots, add or remove elements while preserving the rest of the scene.

Case — Plot Subversion:

Subvert @Video1's plot — the man's expression shifts from tenderness to
icy cruelty. In an unguarded moment, he shoves the female lead off the
bridge into the water. The action is decisive, premeditated, without
hesitation. The female lead falls with no scream, only disbelief in her
eyes. She surfaces and screams: "You've been lying to me from the start!"
The man stands on the bridge with a sinister smile, murmuring: "This is
what your family owes mine."

Case — Character Replacement:

Replace @Video1's female lead singer with @Image1's male lead singer.
Actions completely mimic the original video. No shot cuts. Band performs
the music throughout.

Case — Element Addition:

Change the woman's hairstyle in @Video1 to long red hair. @Image1's
great white shark slowly surfaces — half its head visible — lurking
behind her.

2.3.9 Music Beat Matching

Synchronize visual rhythm precisely with music beats — matching keyframe positions, transitions, and character movements to the audio.

Case Example:

@Image1 @Image2 @Image3 @Image4 @Image5 @Image6 @Image7 — match the
keyframe positions and overall rhythm of @Video1 for beat-synced cuts.
Characters should have more dynamic movement. Overall visual style more
dreamlike with strong visual tension. Adjust shot sizes and add lighting
changes based on music and visual needs.

2.3.10 Better Emotional Performance

Characters can now express nuanced emotions — from subtle tenderness to explosive rage, from quiet contemplation to joyful surprise. The model produces more natural and emotionally resonant performances.

Case — Dramatic Scene (Short Drama):

Scene (0–5s): Close-up on the character's reddened eyes, finger
pointing accusingly, tears streaming down. Emotion on the edge of
collapse.

Dialogue 1 (Character A, choking with rage): "What exactly are you
trying to take from me?"

Scene (6–10s): The other character trembles, holding up evidence,
red-eyed, stepping forward. Camera sweeps past background details.

Dialogue 2 (Character B, urgent and choked): "I'm not deceiving you!
This is what he entrusted to me!"

Scene (11–15s): Evidence is revealed, Character A freezes — expression
shifts from anger to shock, hands slowly rise.

Sound: Urgent piano + static interference, sobbing, ending with a
muffled voice blending in.
Duration: Precise 15 seconds, every frame tight.
