🎬 Seedance 2.0 Cinema Expert

The definitive skill for "Director-Level" AI video orchestration.

Seedance 2.0 is not a descriptive model; it is an

instructional

model. It responds best to technical cinematography, physics directives, and precise camera grammar.

Core Competencies

Text-to-Video (t2v)

Generate cinematic video from a Director Brief using

seedance-v2.0-t2v

.

Image-to-Video (i2v)

Animate 1–9 reference images into a video using

seedance-v2.0-i2v

.

Video Extension (extend)

Seamlessly continue an existing Seedance 2.0 video using

seedance-v2.0-extend

.

Multimodal Referencing

Utilize

@tag

system (

@image1

,

@video1

) for style, motion, and rhythm locking.

Audio-Visual Sync

Native high-fidelity sound generation synchronized with visual motion.

Temporal Consistency

Maintain character, clothing, and environment stability across shots.

🏗️ Technical Specification: The Director Brief

To get professional results, ALWAYS structure the prompt using this hierarchy:

Component

Instruction Type

Example

Scene

Environment + Lighting

"A rain-soaked cyberpunk street, magenta neon reflections on wet asphalt."

Subject

Identity + Detail

"A woman in a black trenchcoat, determined focus, cinematic skin textures."

Action

Fluid Interaction

"Walking forward through the crowd, coat billowing slightly in the wind."

Camera

Movement + Lens

"Medium tracking shot, 35mm lens, slow dolly backward. Subtle handheld jitter."

Style

Mood + Intent

"Cinematic epic, warm color grade, shallow DOF, rack focus to subject's face."

🧠 Prompt Optimization Protocol

The Agent MUST transform user intent into a technical "Director Brief" before execution.

Technical Grammar

Use camera terms:

Dolly In/Out, Crane Shot, Whip Pan, Tracking Shot, Anamorphic Lens, Shallow Depth of Field

.

Physics Directives

Use "caustic patterns," "volumetric rays," or "subsurface scattering" instead of "good lighting."

Timecode Notation

For multi-beat scenes, use

[00:00-00:05s]

format to specify timing.

Tag References

If files provided, use:

"Replicate the camera movement of @video1 while maintaining the visual style of @image1."

ORDER MATTERS

Tokens at the start define composition; tokens at the end define texture and micro-motion.

Multi-Image i2v

Provide up to 9 reference images. The model blends aspects (style, identity, environment) across all inputs. 🚀 Protocol: Using Seedance 2 Mode 1: Text-to-Video (t2v)

Epic reveal shot

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --subject "a hidden temple in the Andes, mist rolling through the canopy" \ --intent "epic" \ --aspect "16:9" \ --duration 10 \ --quality high \ --view

Tense close-up, vertical for social

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --subject "a detective examines a cryptic clue under harsh lamp light" \ --intent "tense" \ --aspect "9:16" \ --duration 5 Mode 2: Image-to-Video (i2v) Animate one or more reference images. Up to 9 images can be supplied — the model synthesizes motion across all of them.

Animate a single local image

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --mode i2v \ --file hero.jpg \ --subject "hero strides forward, coat billowing in slow motion" \ --intent "epic" \ --aspect "16:9" \ --view

Animate from a URL

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --mode i2v \ --image "https://example.com/scene.jpg" \ --subject "camera slowly pulls back to reveal the full landscape" \ --intent "reveal" \ --duration 10

Multi-image blending (character + environment + style reference)

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --mode i2v \ --file character.jpg \ --file environment.jpg \ --image "https://example.com/style.jpg" \ --subject "character walks through the environment in cinematic style" \ --quality high Mode 3: Extend Video Continue an existing Seedance 2.0 video seamlessly, preserving visual style, motion, and audio.

Extend with no new prompt (model continues naturally)

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --mode extend \ --request-id "abc-123-def-456" \ --duration 10

Extend with directional prompt

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \ --mode extend \ --request-id "abc-123-def-456" \ --subject "camera continues to pull back, revealing the vast city below" \ --intent "reveal" \ --duration 10 \ --quality high \ --view Async Pattern (for long jobs)

Submit and get request_id immediately

⚠️ Constraints & Guardrails

No Keyword Soup

DO NOT use "8k, masterpiece, trending." Use technical descriptions: "High-fidelity production grade, 24fps, cinematic grain."

Continuous Action

Describe

one fluid motion

. Avoid "The man runs and then he stops." Use "The man gradually transitions from a sprint to a sudden stop, chest heaving."

Face Stability

For consistent characters:

"Maintain high character consistency, zero facial flicker, persistent clothing details."

Extension Only Works on v2.0

:

--mode extend

requires a

request_id

from a previous

seedance-v2.0-t2v

or

seedance-v2.0-i2v

job.

Aspect Ratios

16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4 (Seedance 2.0 supports all four).

Duration

5, 10, or 15 seconds. Quality : basic (faster) or high (higher fidelity). 🎭 Prompt Templates (from awesome-seedance community) Cinematic Film Styles [SCENE] Rain-soaked cyberpunk alley, neon signs reflected on wet cobblestones.
