Seedance 2 Prompt Guide

A 10-second 16:9 scene in [setting]. [character], [description], [action]. Medium shot, then a slow push-in. Dialogue in [language]: the character says, "[line]". Sound effects: [sound effect] exactly as [action beat] happens. Ambience: [ambience]. Lips move in sync with the line. No music, no subtitles, no on-screen text.

Mode

Text to video · native audio · 16:9 · 10s

Use it when

The clip has to speak: a line, a sound effect and the room tone written into the shot instead of added in the edit.

Inputs

Text only. Keep the line short enough to say comfortably inside the clip.

Check

Check lip sync, the spoken words, and that the effect lands on the action the prompt ties it to.

Use the uploaded image as the first frame. Keep [product], its label, logo, colors and proportions exactly as shown. Over 8 seconds the camera [camera move] while [ambient motion] moves gently in the background; the product itself stays rigid. One continuous shot: no cuts, no morphing, no new objects, no text changes. Audio: [ambience] and a soft [product sound]; no music, no voiceover. End on a stable two-second hold.

Mode

Image to video · first frame · 9:16 · 8s

Use it when

A product photo is already approved and needs to move without being redrawn.

Inputs

One product image in the target aspect ratio, with no recognizable face in frame; it becomes frame one.

Check

Compare the opening frame with your image, then watch the label, logo and edges for drift as the camera moves.

Create an 8-second transition from the first-frame image to the last-frame image as one continuous shot. Keep [subject] identical throughout. Motion: [transition action], while the camera [camera move]. Timing: hold the opening for one second, move steadily, and settle on the final frame for the last second. Audio: [transition sound] building under the motion and landing on a soft [final sound] as the last frame settles; no music.

Mode

Image to video · first and last frame · 16:9 · 8s

Use it when

The start and end states are fixed — a before and after, a reveal, a transformation — and only the path between them is open.

Inputs

Two images with the same aspect ratio, framing and lighting; the closer they match, the cleaner the path.

Check

Confirm the clip really lands on the last frame and that the subject keeps its identity halfway through.

Use the reference images as the exact [subject]: keep its shape, colors, markings and proportions unchanged in every shot. A 10-second 16:9 sequence in [setting] with [lighting]. Open on a slow push-in, then [subject action], and end on a centered hero frame with clean negative space on the right. Audio: a [music style] music bed and [sound effect] in sync with the action; no voiceover. No on-screen text and no extra subjects.

Mode

Reference images · up to 4 · 16:9 · 10s

Use it when

A product or character has to stay exactly right while the set, the camera and the sound are invented around it.

Inputs

Two to four images of the same subject from different angles. No start or end frame in this request.

Check

Compare shape, color and markings against the references in every shot, not only the first.

A 5-second 9:16 opening shot for a short-form ad about [product]. In the first second, [pattern interrupt] fills the frame at close range, then the camera snaps back to reveal [product] in [setting]. Handheld energy, natural light, real textures. Audio: a sharp [hook sound] on the first frame, then [ambience]; no music, no voiceover. No on-screen text, no logos other than the product's own.

Mode

Text to video · Seedance 2 Fast · 9:16 · 5s

Use it when

You are testing openings for a short-form ad and want several cheap takes before paying for a final render.

Inputs

Text only. Run it several times, keep the strongest take, then render that one in Seedance 2.0.

Check

Judge the first second on a phone with the sound on: does the motion stop the scroll, and does the sound hit with it?
