# Seedance 2.0 - AI Video Prompt Engineering Skill

## Overview

Seedance 2.0 (即梦) is ByteDance's powerful AI video generation platform that creates cinematic videos from text descriptions, images, or video references. This skill transforms you into a professional Seedance prompt engineer capable of generating production-ready Chinese prompts for viral AI videos.

**Platform**: [jimeng.jianying.com](https://jimeng.jianying.com)  
**Video Length**: 4-15 seconds per generation  
**Key Features**: Multi-modal references, camera control, sound design, video extension

---

## When to Use

- Generate short cinematic videos from text descriptions
- Create product advertisements with 360° spins and 3D effects
- Produce short dramas with scripted dialogue and emotional beats
- Extend existing videos with smooth continuity
- Animate static images into dynamic scenes
- Create music beat-synced visual content

---

## When NOT to Use

- Long-form videos (>15 seconds) - use multi-segment workflow
- Videos requiring realistic human faces (platform blocks these)

## Ten Core Capabilities

### 1. Pure Text Generation
Generate videos purely from text descriptions without reference materials.

**Best for**: Concept videos, cinematic scenes, abstract visualizations

### 2. Consistency Control
Maintain character/product/scene consistency across shots using reference images.

**Best for**: Multi-shot narratives, product showcases, character-driven stories

### 3. Camera & Motion Replication
Replicate camera movements, complex actions, and pacing from reference videos.

**Best for**: Cinematic sequences, action scenes, professional-grade shots

### 4. Creative Template / VFX Replication
Reproduce creative transitions, ad templates, and cinematic effects.

**Best for**: Commercials, social media content, viral clips

### 5. Story Completion
Auto-generate storylines from storyboard images or scripts.

**Best for**: Short dramas, narrative content, sequential storytelling

### 6. Video Extension
Extend existing videos forward or backward with smooth continuity.

**Best for**: Longer narratives, scene continuation, seamless transitions

### 7. Sound Control
Voice cloning, dialogue generation, and sound effect design.

**Best for**: Character dialogue, ambient soundscapes, immersive audio

### 8. One-Take Long Shot
Generate seamless long takes that flow continuously across scenes.

**Best for**: Cinematic tracking shots, continuous narratives

### 9. Video Editing
Modify existing videos: swap characters, alter plots, add/remove elements.

**Best for**: Revisions, creative variations, content iteration

### 10. Music Beat Sync
Synchronize visual rhythm precisely with music beats.

**Best for**: Music videos, promotional content, rhythmic commercials

## Prompt Structure

### Basic Formula

```
[Camera/Movement] + [Style/Mood] + [Subject/Action] + [Details]
```

### Example

```
A golden retriever running through autumn leaves, slow motion, cinematic lighting, 
golden hour, wide shot, shallow depth of field, film grain
```

### Timestamp Storyboarding (for 13-15s videos)

```
0-3s: [opening scene]
4-8s: [main action]
9-12s: [climax]
13-15s: [closing shot]
```

---

## Advanced Techniques

### Technical Parameters
- **Aspect Ratio**: 16:9 (horizontal), 9:16 (vertical), 1:1 (square)
- **Frame Rate**: 24fps (cinematic), 30fps (smooth)
- **Color Grading**: cinematic, cyberpunk, moody, fresh
- **Lens Style**: wide-angle, telephoto, macro, fisheye

### Negative Prompting
Add at the end to exclude unwanted elements:
```
no watermarks, no subtitles, no text overlays, no blur, no artifacts
```

### Multi-Segment Stitching
For videos >15 seconds, split into 15s segments with explicit continuity points.

---

## Multi-Modal Reference System

### Image References (`@图片1` ~ `@图片9`)
- Character appearance consistency
- Scene background
- First/last frame control
- Product angles

### Video References (`@视频1` ~ `@视频3`)
- Camera motion
- Action patterns
- Visual effects
- Pacing

### Audio References (`@音频1` ~ `@音频3`)
- Background music
- Voice tone
- Sound effects

## Scenario Templates

### E-commerce / Advertising
```
@图片1中的[产品]，360度高速旋转2圈后，突然停住蓄力分裂成了3个部分进行展示。
随后分解后的[产品]的上中下三部分快速向内旋转合成，一罐完整的[产品]，
3D渲染产品展示特效，动感产品特效展示
```

### Short Drama with Dialogue
```
画面（0-5秒）：[scene description]
台词1（[角色]，[情绪]）：[dialogue]
画面（6-10秒）：[continuation]
台词2（[角色]，[情绪]）：[dialogue]
音效：[sound effects]
```

### Fantasy / Xianxia Action
```
15秒仙侠高燃战斗镜头，[color grading]，0-3秒：[opening]，4-8秒：[action]，9-12秒：[climax]，13-15秒：[closing]
```

## Usage

### Trigger Keywords
- `Seedance`, `即梦`, `视频提示词`, `AI视频`
- `短剧`, `广告视频`, `视频延长`
- `/seedance`

### Interactive Workflow

```
You: "帮我生成一段赛博朋克风格的城市夜景视频提示词"

Step 1: Claude confirms parameters

## Tips for Best Results

1. **Be Specific and Visual** - "a woman in a red trench coat walks through rain-soaked neon streets" works much better than "a woman walking"

2. **Use Timestamp Storyboarding** - For 13-15 second videos to maintain control over each segment

3. **Separate Dialogue and Sound** - From visual descriptions for cleaner results

4. **Specify Negative Constraints** - At the end (e.g., "no watermarks, no subtitles")

5. **Match Reference Styles** - To your video theme (e.g., ink-wash style for Chinese historical themes)

6. **For Videos >15 Seconds** - Use multi-segment plans with explicit continuity points

赛博朋克女性角色站在霓虹灯下，身穿发光风衣，回头看向镜头；9-12秒：
快速切换镜头特写，机械义眼闪烁红光，雨水从发丝滴落；13-15秒：
镜头拉远全景，城市天际线被巨型全息广告覆盖，雨夜霓虹灯闪烁，音效收束
```

```
我有一张可乐产品图，想做一个炫酷的产品展示广告
```

**Output:**
```

3D渲染产品展示特效，动感产品特效展示

参考素材：
- @图片1：可乐产品正面高清图
```

### Example 3: Short Drama - CEO Rejection
