50+ Seedance 2.0 Prompts: Copy-Paste Examples
By SeedanceTips Team
16 min read
Writing prompts for Seedance 2.0 is closer to directing a film than typing keywords. The model responds to specific, filmable descriptions — subject, action, camera, lighting — rather than abstract concepts.
This library contains 50+ tested prompts across 10 categories, organized from simple to advanced. Every prompt is copy-paste ready. Adjust the @references, duration, and aspect ratio to fit your project.
The Seedance 2.0 Prompt Formula
Before diving into examples, learn the structure that consistently produces the best results:
Subject + Setting → Action → Camera Movement → Style/Lighting → Duration/Constraints
Image-to-Video variant:
Subject + Motion, Background + Motion, Camera + Motion
Key principles:
- Describe a shot, not a story
- One main action per clip
- Specify camera movement explicitly
- Keep it under 80 words
- State what you want, never what you don’t want (no negative prompts)

Prompt Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Subject changes appearance mid-clip | No reference image anchoring identity | Add @Image1 as the character and keep description consistent |
| Jittery, unstable motion | Overly dynamic camera instructions | Replace “dynamic” with “smooth” — add “single continuous shot” |
| Wrong pacing (too fast/slow) | Mismatch between action count and duration | Fewer actions for short clips, more for long ones |
| Framing issues in vertical video | No explicit composition direction | Add “centered composition” and set 9:16 aspect ratio |
| Audio doesn’t match visuals | Conflicting audio and visual descriptions | Simplify — describe either audio OR visuals in detail, not both |
| Camera ignores instructions | Too many competing camera directions | Specify ONE camera movement per shot |
| Style inconsistency | Missing style anchors | Add a style reference image with Apply the style of @Image1 |
| Lip-sync timing off | Audio quality issue or language mismatch | Use clean, single-speaker audio. Specify the language explicitly |
5 Rules for Better Seedance 2.0 Prompts
Describe a shot, not a story. Each prompt should read like a single camera setup. Use multi-shot syntax for narratives.
One action per clip. A character can walk, OR talk, OR dance. Cramming multiple complex actions into one clip degrades all of them.
Camera first. If camera movement matters, put it early in your prompt. The model prioritizes instructions in order.
Reference > Description. A single reference image communicates more than 50 words of description. Always upload references when possible.
Iterate one variable at a time. If the output isn’t right, change ONE thing — prompt wording, camera angle, or reference — and regenerate. Don’t rewrite everything.
This prompt library is updated regularly as Seedance 2.0 evolves. All prompts have been tested on Seedance 2.0 via the Dreamina platform. Results may vary based on reference quality and model updates. SeedanceTips is an independent resource and is not affiliated with ByteDance.
