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.

Prompt FAQs

Common questions about writing effective Seedance 2.0 prompts.

How long should a Seedance 2.0 prompt be?

Aim for 50–150 words. Too short and the model fills in gaps unpredictably. Too long and it may miss key details. Focus on camera, lighting, motion, and atmosphere.

Can I use image-to-video with these prompts?

Yes — upload a reference image and add a motion-focused prompt describing how you want the scene to evolve. The image anchors the visual style, and your prompt guides the movement.

Does mentioning audio in the prompt actually help?

Yes. Seedance 2.0 generates synchronized audio. Referencing sound — ambient noise, music style, or specific audio events — improves the alignment between visuals and sound in your generated video.
