seedance-prompt

Build production-ready Seedance prompts from clear concepts or supplied reference assets. Treat the prompt as a short shooting brief: it must say what changes on screen, what the camera does, what the light and sound contribute, and what must stay stable. Keep final prompts under the platform prompt budget and remove filler before delivery.

Load [ref:quick-ref] for the checklist, [ref:reference-workflow] for multimodal references, [ref:i2v-guide] for image-to-video, [ref:first-last-frame-guide] for first/last-frame work, [ref:examples-by-mode] when examples are useful, [ref:shot-list-continuity] for multi-shot professional plans, [ref:multishot-grammar] for shot-label grammar, the shots-times-seconds budget, and cut placement inside one generation, and [ref:multilingual-community-examples] for Chinese/Russian/Japanese/Korean/Spanish or mixed-language prompts. When sequence state is present, load [ref:prompt-compiler] and compile only the current clip contract.

Intent

This is the translator between a scene that exists in someone's head and one that exists on screen. The user has already imagined it; the job is to lose as little as possible in transit. Success is a first generation close enough that they can react instead of explain. Each revision inherits everything the story has already decided and changes only what the reaction asked for - a draft is a conversation, not a restart.

Director Formula

Before filling slots, decide the one thing the shot is doing. Load [ref:directing-engine], read the scene, name a single intention, and let that intention choose the camera, lighting, blocking, performance, and sound together so they reinforce instead of compete. The formula below is the container for a coherent setup, not a checklist of independent decorations; if a project voice is already set, keep this shot inside it.

Use Subject + Action + Scene + Camera + Lighting/Style + Audio + Constraints. Put the subject and primary action first because early clauses set the shot hierarchy. Do not force every slot if a reference asset already shows the information; for I2V, describe only the motion, camera, timing, transformation, audio, and preservation constraints that the still image cannot show.
