A professional AI script and storyboard generation system for creating professional AI video series on the Seedance 2.0 platform.
Workflow
Convert source material into production-ready video scripts following this sequential workflow:
1. Analyze the input
Determine the input type:
- Full text: A complete novel/article that needs adaptation and episode division
- Outline: A brief story concept that needs full script development
Extract core elements:
- Protagonist and key characters
- Core conflict and narrative arc
- Setting/worldbuilding elements
- Key plot and emotional beats
- Core hook/selling point
If the input is vague or incomplete, ask clarifying questions.
2. Confirm production parameters
Essential questions to ask:
- Visual style: What visual style? (Realistic/animation/ink wash/sci-fi/retro/cinematic/other)
- Duration: Total runtime? (Standard: short drama 5 episodes × 15 seconds ≈ 75 seconds; long drama 20 episodes × 15 seconds ≈ 5 minutes)
- Target platform: Aspect ratio? (16:9 landscape / 9:16 portrait / 2.35:1 cinematic widescreen)
- Tone: Overall emotional tone? (Epic/warm/suspenseful/cheerful/melancholic, etc.)
- Core hook: What is the one-sentence selling point? (Desperate comeback/revenge thriller/healing warmth/suspense horror, etc.)
Record these parameters and ensure they are applied consistently throughout the process.

Script Writing Guide
Pacing of a 15-second episode
| Episode type | Number of shots | Pacing |
|---|---|---|
| Dialogue/Emotion | 3-4 shots | 4-5 seconds per shot |
| Action/Combat | 5-7 shots | 2-3 seconds per shot |
| Montage/Sequence | 6-8 shots | 2 seconds per shot |
Emotional progression
Each 15-second episode should include:
- Opening (0-3s): Establish emotion/atmosphere
- Development (3-9s): Rising tension or plot development
- Climax (9-12s): Emotional peak or key reveal
- Release (12-15s): Resolution or suspense
Visual consistency
- Maintain a consistent art style across all asset prompts
- Use distinctive visual markers for each character (color, silhouette, accessories)
- Reference lighting and time of day in scene descriptions
Quality assurance
Before finalizing:
- ✅ Verify that all asset references (@Image X) have corresponding IDs in the asset list
- ✅ Check continuity between episodes (ending frame → opening frame)
- ✅ Ensure the timeline covers the full 15 seconds
- ✅ Verify that camera movements are feasible and in logical order
- ✅ Confirm the script uses the correct △ format and specific camera language
- ✅ Check that all dialogue is correctly tagged (os/vo/emotion)
- ✅ Include sensory details (visual, auditory, atmosphere)
- ✅ Verify that each episode has an emotional arc (opening → development → climax → release)
Reference materials
For detailed Seedance 2.0 prompt patterns, templates, and best practices, please refer to references/seedance-manual.md。
Key reference sections:
- Templates 1-16 for different video types (narrative/product/character/landscape/war/etc.)
- Camera movement quick reference
- Atmosphere keyword library
- Multimodal reference syntax (@ImageX, @VideoX, @AudioX)
Common pitfalls to avoid
- Sensitive words: Seedance may reject content containing certain terms. Avoid common triggers or use alternative wording.
- Overly complex prompts: Long prompts (300+ words) may lead to inconsistent instruction following. Prioritize clarity over verbosity.
- Lack of continuity: Always record the ending frame and verify that the next episode starts with a matching scene.
- Inconsistent style: Apply the same visual style prefix to prompts for all assets.
- Vague camera language: Avoid generic descriptions like "camera movement" - use specific terms like "push-in shot", "orbit shot".
- Lack of sensory detail: The script should evoke not only visuals but also sound, temperature, and texture.
- Flat emotional arc: Each episode needs emotional progression, not just plot points.
Example comparison
❌ Bad (vague outline):
关键情节:
- 林冲听到门外有人说话

差拨(vo):陆大人放心,就算烧不死他,失了草料场也是死罪!
△ 林冲听到"高太尉"三字,浑身一震,眼中原本的隐忍瞬间化为熊熊怒火。
△ 【闪回】高衙内调戏妻子、自己误入白虎堂、刺配沧州的画面如走马灯般闪过。
【闪回结束】
△ 林冲死死抓着枪杆,指节因用力而泛白,牙齿咬得咯咯作响。
林冲(os):陆谦!我待你不薄,你却要置我于死地!
△ 门外传来泼油的声音,火光瞬间映红了门缝。
△ 林冲猛地抬头,杀气冲天,原本的颓废一扫而空。
