Seedance 2.0 Prompt Examples
Copy-ready prompts for cinematic AI video generation. Organized by style, mood, and use case.
Prompt Writing Principles
The most effective Seedance 2.0 prompts share a few key characteristics. Use these as your foundation.
Specify the Camera
Describe camera movement, angle, and distance. 'Slow push-in from medium shot', 'wide aerial tracking shot', or 'close-up with shallow depth of field' give the model direction context.
Define the Lighting
Lighting sets the entire mood. Use terms like 'golden hour backlight', 'harsh neon reflections on wet pavement', or 'soft overcast diffused light' for precise control.
Name a Visual Style
Reference a visual style or genre: 'cinematic 35mm film grain', 'anime cel-shaded look', 'documentary handheld', or 'high-contrast noir'. Seedance responds well to genre language.
Describe the Motion
Unlike static images, video needs action. What's moving? 'Leaves swirling in slow motion', 'character walking confidently through a crowd', 'water droplet falling in macro detail'.
Include Audio Cues
Seedance 2.0 generates synchronized audio. Mentioning sound in your prompt — 'ambient city noise', 'dramatic orchestral swell', 'quiet rain on glass' — improves audio-visual alignment.
Set the Scene Fully
Include environment, time of day, weather, and atmosphere. The more complete your world-building, the more coherent and cinematic the result.
