🎬 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

1. Text-to-Video (t2v) : Generate cinematic video from a Director Brief using seedance-v2.0-t2v.
2. Image-to-Video (i2v) : Animate 1–9 reference images into a video using seedance-v2.0-i2v.
3. Video Extension (extend) : Seamlessly continue an existing Seedance 2.0 video using seedance-v2.0-extend.
4. Multimodal Referencing : Utilize @tag system (@Image1, @Video1, @Audio1) for style, motion, rhythm, and sound locking.
5. Audio-Visual Sync : Native high-fidelity sound generation synchronized with visual motion.
6. Temporal Consistency : Maintain character, clothing, and environment stability across shots.

📥 Input Limits

Output : 4–15 seconds, auto-generated sound effects / background music, 480p–720p.

⚠️ Restrictions

• No realistic human faces in uploaded images/videos — the platform will block such uploads.
• --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.
• Duration: 4–15 seconds.
• Quality: basic (faster) or high (higher fidelity).

🔗 Core Syntax: The @ Reference System

Assign explicit roles to each uploaded asset. This is the most critical part of multimodal prompting.

Reference Tags

@Image1   @Image2   @Image3  ...  (up to 9)
@Video1   @Video2   @Video3       (up to 3)
@Audio1   @Audio2   @Audio3       (up to 3)

Role Assignment Table

Multi-Reference Combination

@Image1's character as the subject, reference @Video1's camera movement
and action choreography, BGM references @Audio1, scene references @Image2

🏗️ Technical Specification: The Director Brief

Structure prompts using this hierarchy for professional results:

Time-Segmented Prompts (Recommended for 10s+ videos)

Break prompts into timed segments for precise control:

0–3s: [opening scene, camera, action]
3–6s: [mid-section development]
6–10s: [climax or key action]
10–15s: [resolution, ending shot, final text/branding]

🧠 Prompt Optimization Protocol

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

1. Technical Grammar : Use camera terms: Dolly In/Out, Crane Shot, Whip Pan, Tracking Shot, Anamorphic Lens, Shallow Depth of Field.
2. Physics Directives : Use "caustic patterns," "volumetric rays," or "subsurface scattering" instead of "good lighting."
3. Timecode Notation : For multi-beat scenes, use [00:00-00:05s] format to specify timing.
4. Tag References : If files provided, use: "Replicate the camera movement of @Video1 while maintaining the visual style of @Image1."
5. ORDER MATTERS : Tokens at the start define composition; tokens at the end define texture and micro-motion.
6. 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

# With video and audio references (@-system)
bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \
  --mode i2v \
  --file character.jpg \
  --video-file reference_motion.mp4 \
  --audio-file bgm.mp3 \
  --subject "@Image1's character as the subject, reference @Video1's camera movement, BGM references @Audio1" \
  --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
RESULT=$(bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh --mode i2v --file photo.jpg --async --json)
REQUEST_ID=$(echo "$RESULT" | jq -r '.request_id')

# Check later
bash ../../../../core/media/generate-video.sh --result "$REQUEST_ID"

🎭 Capability-Specific Patterns

1. Character Consistency

The man in @Image1 walks tiredly down the hallway, slowing his steps,
finally stopping at his front door. Close-up on his face — he takes a
deep breath, replaces the weariness with a relaxed expression.
Maintain high character consistency, zero facial flicker, persistent clothing details.

2. Camera Movement Replication

Reference @Image1's male character. He is in @Image2's elevator.
Completely reference @Video1's camera movements and facial expressions.
Hitchcock zoom during the fear moment, then orbit shots of the interior.
Elevator doors open, follow shot walking out.

3. Video Extension (Forward)

Extend @Video1 by 10 seconds.
1–5s: Light and shadow slowly slide across table through venetian blinds.
6–10s: A coffee bean drifts down. Camera pushes in toward it until screen goes black.
English text gradually appears — "Lucky Coffee", "Breakfast", "AM 7:00-10:00".

4. Video Extension (Reverse / Prepend)

Extend backward 10s. In warm afternoon light, the camera starts from
the corner with awning fluttering in the breeze, slowly tilting down
to flowers peeking out at the wall base, building anticipation for the main scene.

5. Video Editing (Modify Existing)

Subvert @Video1's plot — the character's expression shifts from warmth to
cold determination. The action is decisive, without hesitation.
Maintain all other visual elements (scene, lighting, timing).

6. Music Beat-Matching

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \
  --mode i2v \
  --file img1.jpg --file img2.jpg --file img3.jpg \
  --video-file reference_edit.mp4 \
  --audio-file track.mp3 \
  --subject "@Image1 @Image2 @Image3 — match the keyframe positions and rhythm of @Video1 for beat-synced cuts. BGM references @Audio1. More dynamic movement, dreamlike visual style." \
  --duration 15 --quality high

7. Dialogue / Voice Acting

In the "Cat & Dog Roast Show" — emotionally expressive comedy segment:
Cat host (licking paw, rolling eyes): "Who understands my suffering?"
Dog host (head tilted, tail wagging): "You're one to talk? You sleep 18 hours a day..."
Sound: lively studio ambience, audience laughter, punchy transitions.

8. One-Take / Long Take

@Image1 @Image2 @Image3 — one-take tracking shot following a runner
from the street up stairs, through a corridor, onto a rooftop,
finally overlooking the city. No cuts throughout.

9. E-commerce / Product Showcase

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \
  --mode i2v \
  --file product.jpg \
  --subject "Deconstruct the product. Static camera. Hamburger suspended mid-air, rotating slowly. Ingredients separate and reassemble. Cheese continues to melt and drip. Ultimate food aesthetics." \
  --intent "product" \
  --aspect "9:16" \
  --duration 15 --quality high

10. Science / Educational Visualization

bash scripts/generate-seedance.sh \
  --subject "15-second health educational clip. 0–5s: Transparent blue human upper body, camera pushes into a clear artery, blood flows smoothly. 5–10s: Sugar and fat particles enter bloodstream, lipid deposits form on vessel walls. 10–15s: Vessel narrows, before/after comparison. 4K medical CGI, semi-transparent visualization." \
  --intent "educational" \
  --duration 15 --quality high

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Vague references : Don't say "reference @Video1" — specify WHAT to reference (camera? action? effects? rhythm?)
2. Conflicting instructions : Don't ask for "static camera" and "orbit shot" in the same segment.
3. Overloading : Don't pack too many scenes into 4–5 seconds — keep it physically plausible.
4. Missing @ assignments : If you upload 5 images, make sure each one is referenced with a clear purpose.
5. Ignoring audio : Sound design dramatically improves output — always include audio direction.
6. Forgetting duration : Match prompt complexity to the selected generation length.
7. Real faces : Don't upload real human photos — the system will block them.
8. Keyword soup : DO NOT use "8k, masterpiece, trending." Use technical descriptions instead.
9. Discontinuous action : Avoid "The man runs and then he stops." Use fluid transitional language.
