Seedance 2.0 Prompts
ByteDance's multi-shot video model — write a sequence of shots, and characters speak with lip-sync and spatial audio built in.
About Seedance 2.0
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's video generation model, and its defining trait is that it thinks in sequences rather than single clips. Where most models produce one continuous shot, Seedance can carry a subject through several distinct shots — an establishing view, a cut to a closer angle, a reaction — inside a single generation, with characters whose mouths actually match their lines thanks to native lip-sync, and a soundscape that places audio in space.
That makes it the model to reach for when you want a scene that tells a small story: a two-line exchange between characters, a product reveal cut across three angles, a moment with dialogue that needs to feel spoken rather than dubbed. Reviewers consistently place it among the strongest video models available, and its edge is exactly this director-style shot control.
Multi-shot power cuts both ways, though — a vague prompt gives the model too many decisions, and the cuts drift. Prompts written as explicit shot lists with marked dialogue are what separate coherent sequences from disjointed ones. The gallery below collects tested Seedance prompts with their real outputs, so you can start from a structure that already works.
How to write Seedance 2.0 prompts
- 1Write the prompt as a numbered shot list — "Shot 1: wide establishing… Shot 2: cut to close-up…". Seedance follows explicit sequence structure far better than one long paragraph.
- 2Repeat your character's identifying details (clothing, hair, build) in every shot line. Consistent descriptors are what keep the same person on screen across cuts.
- 3Mark dialogue clearly and attribute it: the woman says: "We leave at dawn." Quoted, attributed lines are what trigger accurate lip-sync.
- 4Direct the spatial audio — say where sounds come from: "footsteps approaching from off-screen left, crowd noise behind her". Placement cues make the mix feel three-dimensional.
- 5Give each shot exactly one job: establish, reveal, or react. Cramming two beats into one shot line is the most common cause of muddled cuts.
- 6Keep the cast small — one or two speaking characters. Every added speaker multiplies the continuity and lip-sync load across shots.
Frequently asked questions
What is Seedance 2.0 best at?
Multi-shot storytelling in a single generation: sequences that cut between angles while keeping the same characters, with native lip-sync on dialogue and spatial audio that places sound in the scene. If your idea needs more than one shot to land, Seedance is built for it.
How do I write Seedance 2.0 prompts for multiple shots?
Structure the prompt as an explicit shot list — number each shot, give it one purpose, and repeat your character descriptions in every shot so identity holds across cuts. The tested prompts on this page show the pattern; copy one and swap in your own story beats.
Does Seedance 2.0 support lip-sync and dialogue?
Yes — lip-sync is native. Put spoken lines in quotation marks and attribute them to a described character, and the generated speech matches the mouth movement. It also renders spatial audio, so describing where sounds originate pays off.
Where can I use these Seedance prompts?
Seedance is available through ByteDance's Dreamina (Jimeng AI) creative platform, and developers can access it via the Volcano Engine API. Copy any prompt from this page, paste it there, and adapt the shot list to your own scene.
