Seedance Tutorial

Seedance 2.0 Complete Tutorial

If you want consistent output quality, treat Seedance as a production pipeline rather than a single prompt box. This tutorial gives you a repeatable framework to move from raw idea to publishable video.

Seedance 2.0 workflow overview from prompt to final export — Workflow map: asset setup, prompt composition, generation, and iteration control.

1) Prepare assets before prompting

Use one key visual anchor, one motion reference, and one optional audio reference. Name your files clearly so your prompt mapping remains clean and reproducible.

A practical setup is: @image1 for identity, @video1 for camera language, and @audio1 for rhythm. This prevents style drift and improves iteration speed.

2) Use a three-part prompt structure

Write prompts in this order: intent, style, motion. Example: “Create a premium skincare reveal, soft studio highlights, use @video1 slow push-in and finish on centered packshot from @image1.”

When outputs miss expectations, change only one segment per iteration. This isolates variables and helps you find reliable prompt patterns fast.

3) Tune duration and aspect by goal

For ad tests, keep clips short and direct. Use 6 to 10 seconds for top-funnel hooks. Switch to 9:16 for short-form platforms and keep your first 2 seconds visually dense.

For storytelling, use longer outputs and reserve transitions for narrative beats. Avoid overloading every shot with effect-heavy instructions.

4) Build an iteration checklist

Score each output on composition, motion smoothness, subject consistency, and pacing. Keep a short record of what changed in each round. Teams that track prompt deltas scale faster.

Use extension mode for continuity instead of starting from scratch. This preserves visual identity and cuts production time.

5) Export strategy for campaign execution

Generate 3-5 creative variants per concept: one style-safe version, one high-motion version, and one copy-first variant. This gives media buyers immediate testing breadth.
