Seedance 2.0 prompt library

Seedance 2.0 responds to direction, not description. It wants one camera move, one clear subject action, and a physical world it can obey. Write prompts in ordered layers: subject and wardrobe, environment and light, the single camera move, then the constraint tail. Keep one motion per shot and the output stays stable.

What makes a good Seedance 2.0 prompt?

A Seedance 2.0 prompt works in four ordered layers: subject and wardrobe, environment and light, one camera move, then a short constraint tail such as "no warping, natural motion blur only". Keep a single motion per shot. Stacking pan, zoom and tilt in one prompt is the main cause of drift.

Seedance behaves like a camera operator who follows instructions literally. Give it one move and it executes cleanly. Give it three and it tries to blend them, which is where limbs stretch and backgrounds slide. The fix is not a better adjective, it is fewer instructions per generation. A ten-second spot is five or six separate two-second generations cut together, not one prompt asking for a sequence.

The other half of the job is physics. Seedance simulates what you name and improvises what you leave out, and improvised physics is where the AI tell appears. Say that fabric settles, that liquid catches the light as it pours, that steam rises slowly. Then close with a short negative tail. If you want the same beat with a different look, run the identical prompt through Veo 3.1 or Kling 2.6 and pick the take that cuts best, or read the capability breakdown on the Seedance 2.0 model page.

The formula

The anatomy of a Seedance 2.0 prompt

Four layers in this order. The constraint tail is short and always last, so it reads as a rule rather than as scene content.

  1. 1
    Subject

    Who or what, plus the wardrobe and material detail that has to stay consistent. "A model in a sand-beige trench coat".

  2. 2
    World

    Where it happens and how it is lit. "on a wet cobblestone street, overcast soft light".

  3. 3
    Move

    Exactly one camera behaviour. "camera trucks backward at walking pace keeping her centred".

  4. 4
    Tail

    The short negative rule. "Consistent face and wardrobe, natural gait, no limb distortion."

Worked exampleAll five parts

A model in a sand-beige trench coat walking toward camera on a wet cobblestone street, overcast soft light, the coat moving naturally with each step, camera trucks backward at walking pace keeping her centred, shallow depth of field. Consistent face and wardrobe, natural gait, no limb distortion.

Prompting guide

How to write great Seedance 2.0 prompts

Four rules that make the difference between a flat result and a usable one.

One camera move per shot

Name a single move (slow push in, orbit left, static locked-off). Stacking "pan then zoom then tilt" is where Seedance drifts. If you need more moves, make more shots.

Direct the physics

Tell it what should move and how (fabric settles, liquid pours and catches the light, steam rises slowly). Concrete physical cues read as real footage rather than AI slide.

Anchor the subject in prose

Continuity comes from naming traits, not from invented lock codes. Repeat the key wardrobe and face details in each shot so the character holds.

Close with a constraint tail

End with what you do not want: "no warping, no extra fingers, no text artifacts, natural motion blur only". A short negative tail cleans most defects.

Product push-in, luxury

Product

A slow cinematic push-in on a faceted perfume bottle sitting on black stone, single hard rim light from the upper right, dust motes drifting slowly, shallow depth of field racking into focus on the label, controlled reflections on the glass. One continuous move, no cuts, no warping, natural motion blur only.

Aspect 9:16Open

UGC unboxing, handheld

UGC

Handheld phone footage, a young woman at a sunlit kitchen counter opening a small cream product box, natural morning light, slight camera shake, she smiles and lifts the product toward the lens, believable everyday vlog energy, 30fps look. Keep the same face and hoodie, no smoothing, no plastic skin.

Aspect 9:16Open

Pour shot, food ad

Food

A macro shot of golden honey pouring slowly onto a stack of pancakes, warm side light catching the drip, steam rising, butter glistening, camera holds locked-off as the pour lands and pools. Realistic viscosity and physics, appetising commercial finish, no morphing, no floating artifacts.

Aspect 16:9Open

Fashion walk, street

Fashion

A model in a sand-beige trench coat walking toward camera on a wet cobblestone street, overcast soft light, the coat moving naturally with each step, camera trucks backward at walking pace keeping her centred, shallow depth of field. Consistent face and wardrobe, natural gait, no limb distortion.

Aspect 9:16Open

Car detail orbit

Automotive

A slow orbit around the front wheel of a matte grey sports car in a concrete studio, hard directional key light sweeping across the paint as the camera moves, reflections travelling along the body, subtle tyre and brake detail. One smooth orbit, no cuts, stable geometry, no warping.

Aspect 16:9Open

Skincare application, beauty

Beauty

A close-up of a woman applying serum along her cheekbone, soft beauty light, dewy natural skin with real texture and pores, the droplet catching the light, gentle head turn toward camera. Camera static, keep the same face throughout, no smoothing, no over-retouched plastic look.

Aspect 9:16Open

Fabric drop, textile

Fashion

A folded linen throw is lifted and released above a bed, the fabric unfurling and settling into place, soft window light from the left picking out the weave, camera static at bed height. Realistic cloth physics with a natural settle, no morphing of the folds, natural motion blur only.

Aspect 9:16Open

Steam and coffee, static

Food

A ceramic cup of black coffee on a dark oak counter, steam rising slowly and curling through a shaft of hard morning light from the right, everything else still, camera locked-off in a tight medium shot. Believable steam behaviour, stable cup geometry, no drifting background.

Aspect 9:16Open

Sneaker rotate, studio

Ecommerce

A white leather sneaker on a pale grey seamless studio floor rotating slowly on the spot, even softbox light with a subtle contact shadow tracking the rotation, laces and stitching holding detail. One continuous slow rotation, stable product geometry, no warping of the logo.

Aspect 1:1Open

Two-shot conversation

Talking head

Two colleagues at a bright office table, one speaking and gesturing while the other listens and nods, warm window light from the left, camera static in a medium two-shot at eye level. Distinct consistent faces, natural hand motion, believable pacing, no limb distortion.

Aspect 16:9Open

Rain on window, mood

B-roll

Rain running down a window pane at dusk with a soft-focus city beyond, droplets merging and sliding, cool blue light with a warm interior lamp reflected in the glass, camera static with a very slow push in. Realistic water behaviour, no flicker, natural motion blur only.

Aspect 16:9Open

Product drop, accent beat

Accent

A small glass jar falls a short distance and lands on a stone surface with a satisfying settle, fine dust puffing outward on contact, then everything comes to rest, hard sculpted light from the upper right, camera locked-off at product height. Realistic impact physics, one beat, no morphing on landing.

Three mistakes that ruin Seedance 2.0 prompts

The failure modes that come up most often, and the one-line fix for each.

Stacked camera moves

Pan then zoom then tilt in a single prompt is the number one cause of warping. Pick one move, generate, then make the next move a separate shot.

A whole ad in one prompt

Asking for "hook, demo, then logo" produces a slideshow of half-formed beats. Generate each beat separately and assemble them in the edit.

No constraint tail

Without a closing negative line, small defects such as extra fingers and text smears pass through. Eight words at the end fixes most of them.

Seedance 2.0 prompts, answered

Six questions that come up most often when people start prompting Seedance 2.0.

How do I write a good Seedance 2.0 prompt?
Layer it: subject and wardrobe, then environment and light, then one camera move, then a short constraint tail. Keep a single motion per shot. Seedance follows camera direction well but drifts when you stack multiple moves.
Why does my Seedance clip warp or morph?
Usually too much motion in one shot or an under-specified subject. Reduce to one camera move, describe the physics you want, and add a negative tail like "no warping, no extra fingers, natural motion blur only".
How do I keep a character consistent across shots?
Repeat the defining wardrobe and face details in every shot prompt. Continuity in Seedance comes from consistent prose anchors, not from numeric lock parameters.
What aspect ratio should I use?
Use 9:16 for reels and TikTok, 16:9 for YouTube and web hero video, and 1:1 for feed. Set it per shot so the framing is composed for the placement.
Does Seedance 2.0 generate audio?
Treat Seedance as a picture model and plan the sound in the edit. If you want the model itself to produce synced audio, Veo 3.1 is the better fit and takes a soundscape line in the prompt.
How many shots does a short ad need?
A fifteen-second spot is usually five to seven shots: a hook, two or three demo beats, a proof beat, and an end frame. Generate each as its own clip and cut them together.
