Seedance Prompts — Video Generation That Moves

You can use Seedance prompts on Jimeng (即梦), ByteDance's creative platform, or through API providers like fal.ai and Replicate that support the Seedance model. Some prompts can also be adapted for other video models if you adjust for their specific syntax.

Yes. Text-based Seedance prompts are compatible with both versions. Seedance 2.0 generally produces better motion quality, higher resolution (up to 2K), and supports additional input like reference images and audio — but the text prompts themselves work across versions.

Video prompts describe motion, not just appearance. A good Seedance prompt includes what happens over time — camera movement, character actions, scene transitions, pacing. Static descriptions like 'a woman standing in a field' produce boring video. Effective Seedance prompts add temporal direction: 'a woman turns toward the camera as wind picks up, golden hour light shifting across her face.'

Describe the scene, the action, and the mood. Be specific about camera movement (tracking shot, slow zoom, static wide) and character motion. Seedance responds well to cinematic language — terms like 'dolly in', 'rack focus', or 'slow motion' translate directly into the generated video.

Completely free. You can also test video generation on this site with a daily free quota. For full Seedance 2.0 features (multi-modal input, 2K output), use the model through its official platforms or API providers.
