Seedance 2.0 Prompt Playbook

This playbook gives creators reusable Seedance 2.0 prompt patterns for product shots, character scenes, social ads, music visuals, and image-to-video tests. It is built for fewer retries: isolate the shot goal, keep the prompt readable, and test short before scaling.

Prompt formula

Write prompts in this order: output purpose, subject, action, scene, camera, style boundaries, and reference priority. If you are new to the structure, start with the plain-English prompting guide, then come back for examples.

Base prompt

Create a 6-second vertical product video.
Subject: matte white wireless earbuds on a glass table.
Action: case opens, earbuds rise slightly, blue light pulses once.
Scene: clean desk setup, morning sunlight, soft reflections.
Camera: slow macro push-in, shallow depth of field, no text, no logo.

Five prompt patterns that convert

Product demo

Show the object, then show one benefit. Example: "fitness bottle fills with cold water, condensation forms, hand clips it onto a backpack, clean outdoor morning, 35mm tracking shot."

Before and after

Use a single camera angle and one visible transformation. Example: "messy desk becomes organized as cables slide into place, laptop wakes, warm desk lamp turns on, fixed camera, 5 seconds."

Character moment

Anchor identity with clothing, pose, and expression. For multi-input control, pair this with an image reference and the omni reference guide.

Looping social clip

Make the first and last frames compatible: "camera orbits once around the sneaker and returns to the same front angle, seamless loop, studio lighting."

API batch variant

Freeze the prompt and swap only color, angle, or background. This is the safest way to generate many creative options through the batch workflow.

Retry checklist

  • If identity drifts, add a clearer image reference and remove conflicting adjectives.
  • If motion is weak, describe direction, speed, and body part or object part that moves.
  • If the camera feels random, use one camera verb only: push in, pull back, orbit, pan, tilt, or locked-off.
  • If outputs look busy, remove background details and ask for a single subject in frame.

Try a prompt pattern

Pick one template, run a short draft, and keep only the changes that improve the shot.
