How to write a Seedance 1.5 Pro prompt
- 1
Write the shot and the mix
Describe the subject, motion, camera, and the audio — dialogue, foley, and score are generated together.
- 2
Add a start image if needed
Upload a still to animate; the model keeps its composition and adds motion and sound.
- 3
Choose format and length
Pick an aspect ratio from 21:9 to 9:16 (or auto) and a duration between 4 and 12 seconds.
- 4
Spend the savings on volume
At this rate you can run several takes for the cost of one flagship pass — iterate, then pick the keeper.

- Clips top out at 12 seconds; the 2.x tiers reach 15 and Seedance 2.5 reaches 30.
Iteration is cheap here: Seedance 1.5 Pro costs 5.2 credits / second, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision. See the full Seedance 1.5 Pro pricing breakdown.
