Prompt Writing Tips for Seedance
Be Specific About Subject and Action
Name who or what is in frame and exactly what they do. Seedance handles any subject, and precise movement wording is what makes motion and dance shots land.
Direct the Camera
Add camera directions such as 'close-up', 'wide shot' or 'slow tracking shot' — both Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 read cinematography terms.
Put Dialogue in Quotes
On Seedance 2.5, any line inside straight double quotes is spoken by the character with matching lip movement, for example: she turns to the camera and says "we're finally here".
Match Style and Pacing to Length
Add style keywords like 'cinematic', 'neon-lit' or 'slow motion', and pace the action: one clear beat for a 4-15 second clip, three or four beats for a 30-second Seedance 2.5 take.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good Seedance prompt?
A good Seedance prompt names the subject, the action, the camera, the environment and the visual style. Seedance is a general-purpose video model rather than a dance-only one, so the same structure works for products, story scenes or choreography. You can reference genres and cinematography styles, but avoid naming copyrighted characters or brands.
How long should my Seedance prompt be?
Two to four sentences cover subject, action, setting and style for a 4-15 second clip. For a 20 or 30 second Seedance 2.5 take, add a short beat-by-beat sequence so the model knows what happens in each part of the shot.
How do I write dialogue prompts for Seedance 2.5?
Wrap the spoken line in straight double quotes inside your prompt — a woman turns to the camera and says "we're finally here" — and Seedance 2.5 generates the speech with matching lip movement. Keep audio enabled and keep each line short enough for the chosen duration. Quoted-dialogue lip sync is a Seedance 2.5 feature; Seedance 2.0 still generates synchronized audio, but not lip-synced dialogue this way.
How do I control the camera movement in prompts?
Include camera directions such as 'slow tracking shot', 'orbiting camera', 'static wide angle', 'dynamic handheld feel' or 'smooth dolly zoom'. Both Seedance generations understand cinematography terminology and adjust the virtual camera accordingly.
