Prompting Tips for Seedance 1.0
When working with Seedance 1.0, it’s crucial to write clear and effective prompts. The model excels at both text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Follow a structured prompt format to achieve the best results.
Text-to-Video Prompt Structure
A well-structured prompt helps Seedance generate high-quality videos. The typical format includes:
Subject: The main focus of the video (e.g., a person, an animal, an object).
Movement: The action the subject performs (e.g., walking, dancing, flying).
Scene: The background or environment where the action occurs.
Camera/Style: Instructions for framing or stylistic choices (e.g., wide shot, cinematic).
Atmosphere: The mood or tone conveyed through elements like lighting or emotional cues.
Example 1:
"A tiger prowls through dense jungle undergrowth at dawn, its damp fur shimmering in the soft morning light. The camera tracks it smoothly at eye level from a low angle, capturing the crunch of leaves and mist drifting through beams of sunlight."
Example 2:
"A young woman dances freely in the center of a warmly lit laundry room. The camera remains fixed at a low angle, capturing her movements as her shadow stretches across the wall."
Image-to-Video Prompt Structure
For image-to-video, you’ll start with a visual reference and then describe the movement and mood you want to add.
Example 1:
"A model walks through a mist-covered forest, dressed in translucent garments. A cinematic drone weaves smoothly between the trees, capturing the hypnotic flow of fabric with each step. The scene is lit with cold blue light, creating a surreal, high-fashion vibe."
Example 2:
"A group of five stylish individuals stand together, each holding a different-flavored smoothie. Their outfits combine tailored suits and retro-inspired layers, illuminated by cool overhead lighting. Their serious expressions evoke a cinematic, fashion editorial moment."
