How do I convert a video to a Seedance 2.5 prompt?

First, extract the shot-by-shot camera, lighting, and action notes using our Video to Prompt tool. Then paste those observations into the 1000-character Seedance 2.5 Prompt Generator above to compile a production brief with @image1 and @video1 bindings.

What is the difference between Seedance 2.5 and Seedance 2.0 prompts?

Seedance 2.5 natively supports multi-shot sequences (e.g., Shot 1 [0-3s] -> Hard cut to Shot 2 [3-6s]), reference video motion transfer (@video1), and synchronized foley audio up to 30 seconds. Seedance 2.0 prompts work best as single continuous 4–15 second camera movements.

Why does the brief builder limit observations to 1000 characters?

Overly long, rambling paragraphs dilute model attention and cause motion drift. A focused 1000-character observation brief forces clear separation between subject identity, single-trajectory camera movement, lighting temperature, and ending state.

Build a Seedance 2.5 Prompt in Three Steps

Observe the Reference Video: Use our Video to Prompt analyzer to inspect the opening frame, primary subject action, camera support (tripod vs gimbal), and ending state.
Write or Select the 1000-Character Brief: Paste your observations into the editor above or load one of the 6 routing templates, specifying what your Seedance 2.5 or Seedance 2.0 version should keep or swap.
Bind References & Render: Pair the compiled brief with your clean product photo (@image1) inside TKReel Studio to generate 9:16 vertical video at official Volcengine/BytePlus token rates.

Prepare for Seedance 2.5 with Clear Intent

Seedance 2.5 introduces native multi-shot generation (up to 30 seconds per call) and synchronized audio-visual output, while Seedance 2.0 remains the cost-effective workhorse for single 4–15 second 1080p shots. Structuring your prompt with clear separation between static identity facts and temporal motion ensures your prompts work reliably across both 2.5 and 2.0.

Seedance 2.5 & 2.0 Prompt Examples (6 Core Use Cases)

Template & Routing Rule	Target Scenario	Prompt Structure Formula
1. Product Commercial (R07)	E-commerce hero SKU showcase on tabletop	`@image1 SKU` + slow push-in (12%/s) + 4000K frontal softbox + action finishing centered.
2. Creator Close-Up (R03)	UGC talking-head holding product	Eye-level medium close-up + locked tripod + natural hand emphasis gesture + 5000K window light.
3. Multi-Shot Sequence (S01)	3 consecutive same-scene cuts in one 2.5 call	`Shot 1 [0-3s] Overhead -> Hard cut Shot 2 [3-6s] Macro -> Hard cut Shot 3 [6-9s] Reveal`.
4. Camera Orbit (R09)	Luxury watch, gadget, or bottle 3D-style spin	45° clockwise gimbal orbit + steady push-in + high-contrast specular rim light.
5. Native Audio & ASMR (R16)	Unboxing with synced clicks, taps, and pours	Overhead flat-lay POV + explicit timestamped foley cues (0.5s tap, 1.8s magnetic snap).
6. Viral Element Swap (R12)	Remaking a trending TikTok ad with your SKU	`Follow @video1 motion & cut cadence` + swap hero object with `@image1` in new setting.

Shape Your Seedance 2.5 Reference (@image1 & @video1)

Never ask the text prompt to do the job of a reference image. Assign each input a strict duty: use @image1 (1–3 clean product or character photos) to lock geometry, labels, and facial identity; use @video1 to govern camera movement and cut timing; and reserve your text prompt for the action progression and final resting state.

A Seedance 2.5 Workflow You Can Review

Positive-Only Phrasing: Write only what should appear in frame. Avoid negative constraints like "no extra fingers" or "no background clutter".
Explicit End-State Anchor: Always close your action sentence with "ending with [subject] in [final position]" so multi-shot chains never drift.
Hard-Cut Guardrail (Rule S06): Keep consecutive hard cuts inside a single Seedance 2.5 generation unit under 8–10 seconds for maximum temporal stability.
