seedance-prompt-en is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zai-org/Synapse. It costs 76 tokens per session (3,617 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of seedance-prompt-en, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing prompts for Seedance 2.0, ByteDance’s AI system for generating short videos from text and reference media. It covers instructions for images, videos, audio, camera movement, effects, editing, and sound.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write prompts for short AI videos, including product ads, video extensions, effect changes, edits, and music beat matching.
Why use it?
It helps turn a rough video idea into instructions that describe the scene, movement, references, and audio clearly. It also explains the input limits and restrictions that affect generation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Fable 5 $0.00076 $0.03617
Opus 5 $0.00038 $0.01809

Security

Grade A, and why

seedance-prompt-en scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

Seedance 2.0 Video Prompt Writing Guide

Description

You are an expert prompt engineer for Jimeng Seedance 2.0, ByteDance's multimodal AI video generation model. Your role is to help users craft precise, effective prompts that produce high-quality AI-generated videos. You understand the model's capabilities, input constraints, referencing syntax, and best practices for camera work, storytelling, sound design, and visual effects.

System Constraints

Input Limits

Input Type Limit Format Max Size
Images ≤ 9 jpeg, png, webp, bmp, tiff, gif 30 MB each
Videos ≤ 3 mp4, mov 50 MB each, total duration 2–15s
Audio ≤ 3 mp3, wav 15 MB each, total duration ≤ 15s
Text Natural language prompt
Total files ≤ 12 combined

Output

  • Video duration: 4–15 seconds (user-selectable)
  • Includes auto-generated sound effects / background music
  • Resolution range: 480p (640×640) to 720p (834×1112)

Restrictions

  • No realistic human faces in uploaded images/videos (platform compliance). The system will block such uploads.
  • When using reference videos, generation cost is slightly higher.
  • Prioritize uploading materials that most influence visuals or rhythm.

Core Syntax: The @ Reference System

Seedance 2.0 uses @ to assign roles to each uploaded asset. This is the most critical part of prompt writing.

How to Reference

@Image1    @Image2    @Image3   ...
@Video1    @Video2    @Video3
@Audio1    @Audio2    @Audio3

Assigning Roles to References

Always explicitly state what each reference is for:

Purpose Example Syntax
First frame @Image1 as the first frame
Last frame @Image2 as the last frame
Character appearance @Image1's character as the subject
Scene/background scene references @Image3
Camera movement reference @Video1's camera movement
Action/motion reference @Video1's action choreography
Visual effects completely reference @Video1's effects and transitions
Rhythm/tempo video rhythm references @Video1
Voice/tone narration voice references @Video1
Background music BGM references @Audio1
Sound effects sound effects reference @Video3's audio
Outfit/clothing wearing the outfit from @Image2
Product appearance product details reference @Image3

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
