How to write a Seedance 2.0 prompt
- 1
Write the shot with sound
Describe subject motion, camera movement, and the ambient audio you want — sound is generated natively.
- 2
Anchor with images if needed
Add a start image — and optionally an end frame — when the composition is already decided.
- 3
Choose format and length
Pick an aspect ratio from 21:9 to 9:16 (or auto) and a duration between 4 and 15 seconds.
- 4
Draft cheap, finish here
Explore directions on 2.0 Fast or Mini, then re-run the winning brief on the flagship for the master.
