Step 2: Choose Your Input Mode
Seedance 2.0 supports three input modes: text-to-video for generating clips from written prompts, image-to-video for animating still images, and multimodal mode where you combine text, images, video clips, and audio references together.
Step 3: Craft Your Prompt
Write descriptive prompts that include camera angles, lighting conditions, and mood. Use the @ reference system to attach up to 12 files — images, videos, or audio — to precisely control the visual and sonic elements of your generation.
Step 4: Generate and Refine
Generate 2K resolution video clips ranging from 4 to 15 seconds. Use the video continuation feature to extend footage into longer sequences, and add audio sync to match music beats or dialogue lip-sync.
Advanced Techniques
Unlock the full potential of Seedance 2.0 with these advanced features and workflows.
Multi-Shot Storytelling
Plan 3-4 shot sequences in a single prompt using temporal cues. Describe scene transitions, character movements, and camera changes to create cohesive narrative sequences.
@ Reference System
Use @image1, @video1, @audio1 tags to reference specific uploaded files. This gives you precise control over character appearance, motion style, and soundtrack in your generations.
Character Consistency
Maintain consistent character identity across multiple shots by uploading reference images and using descriptive anchors. Seedance 2.0 preserves facial features, clothing, and body proportions.
Camera Control
Specify professional camera movements in your prompts: tracking shots, dolly zooms, close-ups, slow-motion, and aerial sweeps. Seedance 2.0 understands cinematic language natively.
Audio Sync
Create beat-synced music videos where visuals match the rhythm, or generate dialogue scenes with accurate lip-sync. Upload an audio reference and let Seedance 2.0 align the motion.
Video Continuation
Extend existing footage naturally beyond its original length. Seedance 2.0 analyzes the last frames and generates seamless continuation that matches style, motion, and scene context.
Prompt Writing Tips
The quality of your output depends heavily on how you write your prompts. Follow these techniques to get cinematic results from Seedance 2.0.
Be Specific About Camera
Instead of writing "A man walks down the street," try "The camera follows the man from behind as he walks down a rain-soaked Tokyo alley at night, neon signs reflecting off the wet pavement, shot in a steady tracking movement." Specific camera direction gives Seedance 2.0 clear instructions for cinematic framing and movement.
Describe the Atmosphere
Include lighting conditions, mood, and color grading in every prompt. For example: "Golden hour sunlight filtering through autumn leaves, warm amber tones, soft lens flare, shallow depth of field." Atmospheric details transform generic clips into visually striking footage with professional production value.
Use Temporal Cues
For multi-shot sequences, structure your prompt with temporal markers: "First, a wide establishing shot of the mountain landscape at dawn. Then, the camera pushes in to reveal a lone hiker on the trail. Finally, a close-up of their face as they reach the summit, wind blowing through their hair." This gives Seedance 2.0 a clear narrative timeline to follow.
