Habits that hold across every Seedance model, drawn from ByteDance's own prompt guide.
01
Subject and action first, then the scene, the visual style, the camera, and the audio. Leave out any part you do not need instead of padding it.
02
“The man runs” gives Seedance little to work with. “The man breaks into a sprint, his jacket snapping in the wind” gives it motion, weight, and secondary movement.
03
Say what each upload is for: “@Image1 defines the woman’s face and outfit. @Video1 defines the camera move.” References without a role get guessed.
04
“@Image2 sets the workshop. Do not use the people in it.” stops a background reference from leaking extra characters into the shot.
05
A reference video is read as motion, camera, and pacing, not identity. Pair it with a reference image when the look of a person or product matters.
06
Pick the move that serves the action — push in, orbit, handheld follow — rather than stacking several. Name the shot size early so it holds.
07
Seedance 2.5 reads (music), <sound effects>, and {dialogue} as separate tracks. Name the language or accent right before a line of dialogue.
08
Resolution, length, and aspect ratio come from the form, not the prompt. Skip buzzword stacks like “cinematic, 8K, masterpiece” — describe the light and lens instead.
