Example Prompts
- “The scene begins with a robot’s footsteps over rubble. The camera moves to its head — a close-up of scanning optical lenses. Switch to its POV: a digital overlay scanning the city’s outline. Final frame: graffiti on a wall reading ‘HUMANITY?’ freezes in view.”
- “Drone shot ascending over a futuristic city at night, neon lights reflecting on wet streets, then diving between skyscrapers”
- “A hand opens an ancient book, pages flip magically, golden light emerges, camera pushes into the glowing text”
- “Time-lapse of flowers blooming in a garden, morning dew evaporating, butterflies arriving, soft golden hour light”
- “First-person view walking through a haunted mansion, flickering candles, shadows moving, door creaking open ahead”
Pro Tips for Best Results
- Seedance excels at multi-shot storytelling — describe scene transitions explicitly.
- Use cinematic language: “camera moves to”, “switch to POV”, “final frame”.
- Include specific visual details: “scanning optical lenses”, “digital overlay”.
- Longer durations (8-12s) work best for complex multi-scene sequences.
- Describe text or graphics you want on screen in quotes.
- 16:9 aspect ratio is ideal for cinematic content; 9:16 for social media.
Notes
- Duration can be precisely set from 2 to 12 seconds.
- 1080p resolution provides professional broadcast-quality output.
- Complex multi-shot prompts work best with longer durations.
- Processing time scales with duration and scene complexity.
