Seedance 2.0 Prompts: The Guide and 30 Tested Prompts
Seedance 2.0 is a cinematographer’s engine. Name the move, the lens feel and the light, and it delivers. Here is how to write for it, how to use the three tiers, and 30 prompts to copy.
The Seedance 2.0 prompt formula
Write the parts in this order. Each one answers a question the model otherwise guesses.
- 01
Shot type
“Aerial wide shot”
- 02
Subject and action
“gliding over a glacier lake”
- 03
Camera move
“slow forward movement”
- 04
Light
“low sun glinting off the water”
- 05
Sound
“wind and distant water”
Lead with the shot type
Seedance 2.0 responds strongly to film vocabulary. Open with the shot type (close-up, medium, wide, aerial, macro), then the subject. The first words set the framing for the whole clip.
Vague
A watch that looks expensive.
Directed
Macro shot of a gold watch on black velvet; the camera slowly orbits as a single light catches the bezel. Shallow depth of field. A soft mechanical tick.
Write light like a gaffer
Name the light source and direction: window light from the left, low golden sun behind, single overhead spot, neon from below. At 4K, light is what makes a frame look expensive.
Use the tiers
Draft on Mini or Fast at 720p to check the motion, then render the final on Seedance 2.0 at 1080p or 4K with the same prompt. The price table on the model page shows the gap.
Keep it to one or two beats
Clips are up to 15 seconds. One camera move and one or two actions fill that well. For a longer take, use Seedance 2.5 or extend the clip.
30 Seedance 2.0 prompts by use case

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good Seedance 2.0 prompt?
Open with the shot type, then subject and action, a named camera move, the light source and one or two sounds.
Should I prompt differently for 4K?

Do these prompts work on Seedance 2.0 Mini and Fast?
Yes. All three tiers read prompts the same way, so you can draft on Mini or Fast and render the final on 2.0.
Can I use these prompts on Seedance 2.5?
Yes. On 2.5 you can also add more beats and a spoken line in quotes for a longer take.
