This Skill is distilled from the official Jimeng Seedance 2.0 user manual to help users write high-quality Seedance 2.0 video generation prompts.
1. Platform Parameter Quick Reference
| Dimension | Limit |
|---|---|
| Image input | ≤ 9 images |
| Video input | ≤ 3, total duration ≤ 15s |
| Audio input | MP3, ≤ 3, total duration ≤ 15s |
| Total mixed input limit | 12 files |
| Generation duration | 4-15s, freely selectable |
| Audio output | Built-in sound effects/music (native audio-visual sync) |
2. Two Entry Modes
2.1 First and Last Frame Mode
- Applicable to: uploading only the first frame image (or first frame + last frame) + text prompt
- Scenarios: simple image-to-video, first-last frame transition animation
2.2 All-Purpose Reference Mode
- Applicable to: scenarios requiring multimodal combined input (image + video + audio + text)
- Interaction method: specify the purpose of each asset via
@素材名Example: - Example: @Image1 as the first frame, @Video1 for reference camera language, @Audio1 for background music
@图片1 作为首帧,@视频1 参考镜头语言,@音频1 用于配乐
3. Core Prompt Formula
Seedance 2.0 prompts follow one core formula:
素材角色指定 + 动作/剧情描述 + 镜头语言 + 氛围/音效指令
3.1 Asset Role Assignment (WHO / WHAT)
Use the @ symbol to clearly define the role of each asset in the frame. Key principles:Each asset must have a clear identity and purpose。
Common assignment patterns:
| Pattern | Writing example |
|---|---|
| Assign as character | @图片1的男人 / 参考@图片1@图片2长枪角色 |
| Assign as first frame | @图片1作为首帧画面 / @图片1作为画面的首帧图 |
| Assign as last frame | @图片2作为尾帧 |
| Assign as scene | 他在@图2的电梯中 / 在@图5的枫叶林中 |
| Assign as prop/product | 对@图片2的包包进行商业化摄像展示 / 手中提着@图片3的包 |
| Assign as style reference | 包包的表面材质参考@图片3 |
| Assign as motion reference | 模仿@视频1的动作 / 完全参考@视频1的所有运镜效果 |
| Assign as audio reference | 旁白的音色参考@视频1 / 背景BGM参考@视频3中的音效 |
| Assign as rhythm reference | 视频节奏参考@视频 / 参考@视频中的画面关键帧的位置和整体节奏 |
| Assign as appearance but not first frame | @图片1的女子走到镜子前 / 参考@图1的男人形象 |
Multi-asset combination example:
参考@图1的男人形象,他在@图2的走廊中,完全参考@视频1的所有运镜效果
服装参考@图片1@图片2的样式,手中提着@图片3的包,视频节奏参考@视频
3.2 Action/Plot Description (WHAT HAPPENS)
Seedance 2.0's biggest advantage isDescribe in narrative language, and the model automatically plans the storyboard。
Efficient description principles:
-
Narrate along the timeline rather than using technical terms
- ✅
男人下班后疲惫的走在走廊,脚步变缓,最后停在家门口 - ❌
生成一个行走动画,逐渐减速
- ✅
-
Actions should be specific and visualizable
- ✅
快速的将手伸出画框拿起可乐喝了一口,然后露出一脸满足的表情 - ❌
角色拿起饮料
- ✅
-
Emotions should be explicitly written out
- ✅
脸部特写镜头,男人深呼吸,调整情绪,收起了负面情绪,变得轻松 - ✅
沉思了一会突然开始崩溃大叫 - ❌
角色情绪变化
- ✅
-
Dialogue should be written directly in the prompt (supports multilingual lip sync)
- ✅
用普通话说"做完他的,做你的,大家文明排队。" - ✅
女主说话"何人擅闯我永宁侯府?"
- ✅
-
Use timestamps to segment complex plots
0-3秒画面:[场景A描述] 3-6秒画面:[场景B描述] 7-12秒画面:[场景C描述] 13-15秒画面:[结尾画面描述]
3.3 Camera Language (HOW TO SHOOT)
Seedance 2.0 supports two camera control methods:
Method A: Reference video camera movement (recommended, most precise)
完全参考@视频1的所有运镜效果
参考@视频1的运镜、画面切换节奏
运镜参考@视频1,推近到屏幕的特写,镜头旋转后反转展示全貌
Method B: Text-described camera movement (used when there is no reference video)
| Shot type | Prompt writing |
|---|---|
| One continuous shot | 一镜到底的追踪镜头,从街头跟随...上楼梯、穿过走廊、进入屋顶 |
| Push in/macro | 镜头前推 / 推近到特写 / 镜头推进特写茶杯 |
| Pull out | 镜头拉远展示酒馆全景 / 镜头小幅度拉远(露出街头全景) |
| Follow | 镜头跟随黑衣男子快速逃亡 / 正面跟拍 / 侧面跟拍 |
| Orbit | 几个环绕镜头展示电梯内视角 / 近的环绕镜头 |
| Pan shot | 镜头右摇 / 镜头快速向右边摇动 / 急停后右摇180度 |
| High-angle shot | 转为空中的俯拍视角 / 半空中俯拍 |
| Subjective perspective | 第一人称视角 / 主观视角 / 从第三人称视角变成人物的主观视角 |
| Static shot | 固定镜头 |
| Hitchcock zoom | 主角在惊恐时希区柯克变焦 |
| Cut | 切镜,特写 / 镜头切到空中的俯拍视角 |
Shot size description:
脸部特写镜头/手部特写/中景/全景/远景
3.4 Atmosphere/Sound Effects Instructions (SOUND & MOOD)
Seedance 2.0's native audio capabilities are very strong, and can be controlled directly in the prompt:
Sound effect control:
背景音效为走路声,人群声,汽车声
背景音恢宏大气
分镜切换以及重点的情节演绎加入特殊音效
出现电吉他的激昂音乐
Narration/dialogue control:
用科普风格和音色,将图片1中的内容演绎出来
全程自然对话
音色参考@视频1
Style and atmosphere:
整体风格诙谐幽默
电影级写实风格,采用2.35:1宽银幕,24fps,细腻的画面风格
黑白水墨风格

5. Prompt Optimization Checklist
After writing the prompt, check it against the following list:
- Clear asset annotations: Each @asset has a clear purpose (character/scene/action reference/first frame, etc.)
- Specific and visual actions: Avoid abstract descriptions; use language that can be "filmed"
- Reasonable timeline: The amount of content within 15 seconds is moderate (usually 3-5 key actions/scene transitions)
- Emotions are annotated: The character's expressions, emotions, and tone are clearly described
- Camera has direction: At least specify whether it is follow/push in/static/one-shot
- Sound effects are implied: Describe ambient sound, dialogue content, or specify the music atmosphere
- Reasonable number of assets: Mixed input does not exceed 12 files
- Duration matches content: The amount of content matches the selected generation duration (information density should not be too high)
6. Common Pitfalls and Best Practices
Writings to avoid
- ❌ Piling up pure technical parameters (such as "4K, HDR, 60fps" — the model may not respond to all parameters)
- ❌ Cramming descriptions with more than 15 seconds of content into one prompt
- ❌ Vague @asset annotations (such as only writing "refer to these images" without saying the role of each image)
- ❌ Dialogue content is too long (audio synchronization has length limits; each dialogue segment should be short and powerful)
Recommended practices
- ✅ First use a 5-second short video to test the prompt effect and product fidelity, then generate 15 seconds after satisfaction
- ✅ Use Jimeng to first generate reference images (such as character design sheets, scene images), then input them as assets
- ✅ When there is a reference video, prioritize using "reference @video's camera movement" rather than textual description of camera movement
- ✅ In product advertisements, add "all details are shown" to improve product fidelity
- ✅ For scenes with dialogue, specify the language (Chinese/English/dialect); the model supports multilingual lip synchronization
- ✅ For complex scenes, use timestamp segmentation (0-3s / 3-6s / ...) to let the model understand the rhythm more precisely
- ✅ You can directly write the text/subtitle content appearing in the frame in the prompt
