Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 prompt guide

A woman in a cream knitted sweater lifts a steaming ceramic cup with both hands and blows across it, then smiles at the view. Small city balcony, early morning, low sun behind her lighting the steam. Slow push in from waist height. Soft film look. No subtitles.

Cheapest Seedance test; move to 2.0 at 720p once the action reads right.

Shot 1: close-up of an alarm clock on a wooden nightstand, a hand switches it off, static camera. Shot 2: a man in a grey t-shirt opens the curtains and morning light floods the room, slow push in. Shot 3: wide shot of him stretching by the window, camera pulls back. Birds outside, curtain rings sliding. No subtitles.

One camera move per shot, three shots in 15 seconds.

Selfie-style video, a young woman with a short bob holds a pink water bottle next to her face in a bright gym locker room and says: "It kept my water cold through a two-hour session." Handheld, natural light. Locker doors and echo in the background.

Seedance 2.0 is the one to use for speech; keep the line under 20 words for 10 seconds.

The bottle from @Image1 stands on a wet rock in a mountain stream, water rushing around it, morning mist. Slow orbit around the bottle. The label stays facing the camera. Rushing water. No subtitles.

Run this in Reference mode with your product photo as the first image.

Shot 1: aerial view slowly descending over a white coastal village at sunset. Shot 2: tracking shot from the side along a narrow street as a woman in a straw hat walks past blue doors. Shot 3: she reaches a terrace and the camera pulls back to the sea. Shot 4: static wide shot of the sun touching the horizon. Waves, distant church bells, footsteps on stone. No subtitles.

Four shots in one take. At 480p it is 66 credits; render 720p only after the storyboard works.

Extreme macro: golden honey drizzles in slow motion over a stack of pancakes, butter melting down the sides, steam rising. Warm morning kitchen light, shallow depth of field. Static camera. Soft drip sounds.

The Honey Pancakes Macro example on our explore page was made on Seedance 2.5 from a prompt like this.

The flower bud slowly opens petal by petal in soft daylight, a drop of water slides off one petal. Static macro camera. Quiet garden ambience.

Start frame: the closed bud. End frame: the open flower, same angle.

Anime style, cel shading. A girl with short silver hair and a red scarf sits on a school rooftop at dusk, her scarf blowing in the wind, then she looks up as a paper plane flies past. Slow push in. Wind, distant city. No subtitles.

Style first in the prompt for stylized looks; one move only.

Light rain starts to fall, people under umbrellas walk across the street, the traffic lights change from red to green, reflections ripple on the wet asphalt. Static camera. Rain and soft traffic.

Upload your own street photo without close-up faces; distant people pass Seedance's check more often.

Two astronauts in white suits sit inside a small capsule, Earth in the window behind them. The older one says: "We have about four minutes of oxygen." The younger one says: "Then talk faster." Static camera, tense, cool blue light. Air hiss, quiet beeps. No subtitles.

Fictional characters with helmets on avoid real-face checks. At 1080p Seedance 2.0 uses its standard tier; 720p is $7.20 on the entry pack.
