Seedance 2.0 Prompt Guide: AI Video Prompts, Examples & Tips
2637 views , 5 mins read
Since the official Seedance 2.0 release became available on LumeFlow AI, more creators have started testing it in real projects—ads, short videos, even longer narrative clips. What quickly becomes obvious is that prompt quality directly determines output quality.
This guide isn't a surface-level overview. It's a practical Seedance prompting guide based on how the tool actually behaves when used repeatedly. The goal is to help you move from random results to predictable, repeatable outputs. More aggregated observations across different use cases are discussed in Seedance AI video statistics.
If you're searching for a reliable AI video prompting guide, experimenting with free AI video prompts, or trying to build your own video prompt generator workflow, this breakdown focuses on what genuinely works.
Seedance 2.0 Prompts: Omni Reference vs First & Last Frame
On paper, the two models look simple. In practice, they behave very differently.
Omni Reference (Control First, Creativity Second)
This is the model most people start with—and also where most mistakes happen.
At a glance, it seems like you can just "describe everything". In reality, too much detail often hurts more than it helps.
📌 Core System:
The Omni Reference mode operates on a quad-modal input system that processes text, images, video clips, and audio simultaneously. This system uses an @-mention syntax that assigns specific roles to each uploaded file: @Image1 through @Image9 for visual references, @Video1 through @Video3 for motion and camera references, and @Audio1 through @Audio3 for audio synchronization.
✅ What actually matters inside a prompt:
👉 A clear subject (who/what the video is about).
👉 A defined action (what is happening).
👉 Controlled camera movement (how we see it).
👉 A consistent visual style.
🚀 Working formula (refined through use):
@Image references for character/environment + @Video references for camera/motion + @Audio references for sound/rhythm + Detailed text prompt
🎯 Optimal Use Cases:
This model works best when there is a script, a storyboard, a product angle, or a very specific visual direction. It is especially useful when consistency matters more than improvisation.
This mode performs exceptionally well for:
📍 Commercial production with strict brand guidelines.
🌐 Multi-language content with synchronized lip movements.
First & Last Frame Model (Where Motion Quality Improves Noticeably)
This model doesn't get enough attention—but it should.
Instead of controlling everything, you define a direction and let the model handle transitions. The result is often more natural motion, especially for dynamic scenes.
This model is the better fit when only one frame is available, when a previous clip needs to continue naturally, or when the creator wants more freedom in the middle of the movement.
This mode performs optimally for:
🔄 Transformation content with defined before/after states.
🎬 Sequential video chaining for long-form narratives.
📂 Projects with limited reference assets.
🎨 Artistic content prioritizing visual style over technical precision.
🔗 Situations requiring seamless continuation from previous outputs.
How to Write Prompts for Seedance 2.0 Omni Reference
Most "AI video prompting guides" stop at formulas. The difference comes from how you apply them.
1
Text Elements: Keep Them Short or Skip Them
It's tempting to add subtitles or slogans everywhere—but this often backfires.
What works consistently:
1️⃣ 3–5 word phrases.
2️⃣ Clear positioning (e.g., "bottom center text").
3️⃣ Simple styling (avoid over-describing fonts).
What doesn't work well:
❌ Long sentences.
❌ Multiple text layers.
❌ Vague instructions like "cool text appears".
Simple structure:
Scene + Action + Short text + Placement + Style
🔑 If text isn't essential, leaving it out often improves visual quality.
2
Character Prompts: Focus on Behavior, Not Just Looks
A common mistake is over-describing appearance while ignoring movement.
Seedance responds better when prompts include intent and motion, not just visuals.
Instead of:
A man in a suit standing in a city
Try structuring like:
A man in a suit, calm expression, slightly adjusting his tie, looking forward
That small addition—adjusting his tie—often makes the output feel far less artificial.
Working structure:
Character + Emotional tone + Small movement + Main action
3
Camera Language: The Fastest Way to Improve Quality
If results look "flat," the issue is usually camera instructions.
Adding even one of the following can noticeably improve output:
📷 "slow cinematic pan"
🎬 "tracking shot following subject"
🔍 "close-up with shallow depth of field"
Basic structure:
Shot type + Movement + Lighting
This is often the difference between something that looks like a demo—and something that feels like a finished clip.
How to Write Prompts for Seedance 2.0 First and Last Frame
This model looks simpler—but it still benefits from structure.
1
Describe the Change, Not the Story
Instead of narrating:
A hero realizes his power and transforms dramatically
Focus on visuals:
A normal man standing → body glowing → transforms into armored warrior
The model responds better to clear visual transitions than abstract storytelling.
2
Extending Videos Without Visible Cuts (Practical Workflow)
One of the most useful techniques is using the last frame of a previous clip as the next starting point.
What this enables:
💪 Longer videos without jump cuts.
👤 Consistent characters across scenes.
🎭 More natural storytelling.
Prompt structure:
Previous frame + New action + Expanded environment + Camera continuation
This is especially useful for:
📺 YouTube-style content.
🎦 Narrative sequences.
💰 Multi-part ads.
3
When Simpler Prompts Perform Better
Unlike the Omni Reference model, this one often improves when you remove detail.
If motion feels:
😫 Too rigid.
🚔 Too predictable.
Try cutting the prompt down to just:
1️⃣ Start.
2️⃣ Change.
3️⃣ End.
Prompt formula:
start state → transformation → end state + motion style
In many cases, the result becomes noticeably smoother. A more detailed breakdown of Seedance 2.0 behavior in real workflows is covered in the Seedance 2.0 review.
Pro Tip: Use LumeFlow AI's video prompt generator to test these formulas quickly with free AI video prompts before committing to complex workflows.
The following categories are based on tested use cases. Prompts can be inserted or modified depending on your needs.

Focused on slow-motion moments and emotional timing.
Prompt: Generate an image depicting a spectacular goal. The subject is a footballer wearing the Manchester United number 7 jersey, with the name GOD printed on the back. He has dribbled past five defenders before unleashing a powerful shot; the ball flies into the net, beating the goalkeeper. He celebrates by performing a backflip followed by a knee-slide
Ideal for testing motion blur and fast camera tracking.
Prompt: Using the subject from the first image as a reference, place it on an F1 racetrack to compete alongside F1 cars. The floor-cleaning machine moves even faster than the F1 cars, accompanied by the ambient sound effects of roaring engines and tires gripping the track
Bread Making Process (Lifestyle & Aesthetic Content)
Works well for slower-paced, visually satisfying scenes.
Prompt: I wanna A highly realistic cinematic baking video set in a rustic vintage bakery kitchen with warm wooden textures, similar to an old artisan bakery. The atmosphere is cozy with soft warm lighting and a wooden table lightly covered with scattered flour. Only the baker's hands appear in the video (no face visible). The video shows the step-by-step preparation of healthy mini croissants. Close-up shots of hands adding ingredients into a bowl: whole wheat flour, erythritol sweetener, light butter, honey, and eggs. The hands mix and knead the dough gently on a rustic wooden surface dusted with flour. The dough is rolled out using a wooden rolling pin, then cut into small triangles and shaped into mini croissants. Some croissants are filled with healthy chocolate spread, while others are filled with light diet cream cheese. The hands place the mini croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Then the tray is carefully placed inside a warm oven. A cinematic shot shows the croissants baking and rising inside the oven. In the final scene, freshly baked golden mini croissants are placed on a rustic ceramic plate on a wooden table. Some croissants are slightly open showing the healthy chocolate filling, while others reveal the creamy diet cheese filling. Style: ultra realistic, cinematic food photography, warm bakery lighting, rustic vintage bakery aesthetic, shallow depth of field, highly detailed textures, smooth slow camera movement, 4K quality, macro food shots, cinematic baking video, ASMR baking style
💡 Tip: These prompts typically assume a starting frame is uploaded, but can also work with text-only input.

Prompt: Use @Image 1 as the real-person reference. Style: live-action texture, dark cyberpunk atmosphere, epic and oppressive feel, strong visual impact. No text or other characters on screen. Fully live-action style: no anime transitions, no transformation effects. 0–2 seconds: Extremely low-angle overhead shot, large depth of field. The character from @Image 1 slowly sits sideways on a table. Numerous US dollar bills are scattered across the table. A dim, gloomy light illuminates his face. A faint smileappears on his lips. Camera slowly pushes in toward his face. 2–5 seconds: The character raises his hand and flicks a bill forward stylishly. The bill spins rapidly toward the camera; the scene instantly switches to extreme slow motion. The US dollar bill rotates while slowing down, almost suspended in mid-air. The glow along the edges of the bill intensifies dramatically, with extremely sharp and clear texture. The camera quickly pushes in at the same time until the dollar bill fills the frame. Slow motion returns to normal speed, and the bill flies back to the character's hand like a projectile. 5–9 seconds: The character suddenly stands up with arms spread wide. All dollar bills on the table blast into the air simultaneously. Camera rises quickly while doing a full 360 orbit. The bills form a huge swirling storm around the character, who stands at the center, looking down with overwhelming dominance and pressure. Rapid cuts from multiple angles: low-angle shot, side shot, rotating tracking shot, extremely fast pacing. 9–12 seconds: The character swings his arms forcefully, sending dozens of dollar bills shooting in all directions, each leaving a bright light trail. Intercut three extreme slow-motion close-ups: A single bill spins and floats, with electric arcs bursting along its edges, then accelerates and disappears. The camera switches sharply between extreme slow motion and normal speed. Final shot pulls back quickly: the character stands amid a sky full of flying dollar bills. End with an epic frozen frame. Sound effects: Low opening, sharp whooshing sounds of high-speed cutting, stretched low-frequency audio during slow motion, roaring money storm, progressively building epic electronic soundtrack, heavy impactful closing sound on the frozen frame. Camera: Multi-angle fast editing, handheld breathing camera movement, ultra-low angle shots, full 360 orbital movement, large depth of field, no jarring jump cuts
Prompt: Character Basic Setup — Face: Please refer to the uploaded image. Facial features and face shape must match exactly; no beautification or retouching is permitted. Attire: A weathered, short-sleeved garment. Environment: Situated in a boundless desert under a somber, overcast sky. Atmosphere and Visual Style — Visual Tone: Cinematic widescreen anamorphic style. Simulating the texture of IMAX film shot with Panavision C-series lenses (35mm focal length, f/4 aperture). Color Grading: A low-saturation, desaturated color palette. Shadows are crushed but retain clearly visible detail. Camera Movement Rules: A single, continuous long take with no cuts or edits. The scene begins in the desert with a low-angle shot looking up at the character. Subsequently, the perspective shifts to a first-person view as sand slips through the character's fingers; the camera then pulls back slightly and rotates to reveal an alien adversary emerging from the desert behind them. During the ensuing combat, the camera remains tightly focused on the character, circling around them while slowly pulling back and rising from a low angle. 0–1 Seconds The Gaze: A low-angle perspective of the desert. Wind whips up grains of sand, and the intense heat causes visual distortion. The protagonist kneels on one knee in the desert. The image possesses a hazy, arid quality—as if viewed through heat haze. Action: The protagonist lowers their head, slowly allowing the fine sand held in their hand to slip away. Camera Movement: The camera pushes forward at an extremely slow pace. 1–4.5 Seconds Activation: Sound Effect — A whispered voice: "It's coming." The hand instantly clenches into a fist, immediately followed by an electromagnetic pulse erupting outward from the palm. Surging currents of electricity ripple through the air, causing it to tremble violently. The camera tracks upward along the character's torso as glowing electrical patterns climb across their skin. Their eyes suddenly flare with intense light. Wisps of smoke curl out from their eye sockets. Beneath the cracking surface of their skin, the internal mecha core begins to awaken, component by component. The surrounding air distorts and compresses inward, generating concentric ripples of shockwaves. 4.5–9.5 seconds Rupture: The camera pulls back slightly, revealing an alien adversary lunging violently from behind; fissures rapidly spread across the character's entire body. Liquid energy seeps outward from within. Mist erupts outward, accompanied by a web of fine electrical arcs. Clothing tears apart from the inside out and bursts into flames, as heavy armor plates—accompanied by blinding flashes and shockwaves—slam into place across the character's torso. 9.5–13 seconds The camera pulls back slightly once more, revealing the enemy still charging in from behind. Combat: The battle officially begins. Action: The protagonist meets the enemy's charge head-on, channeling energy into a powerful pulse-punch that sends the adversary flying. Green liquid and white mist scatter in all directions. The attack reveals the enemy's faintly glowing compound eyes—interspersed with several flickering, glitching visual units. The combat is both brutal and lightning-fast: bone-shattering blows are exchanged, culminating in a final heavy punch to the enemy's head, causing the adversary to instantly and completely disintegrate into a mass of mangled remains. 13–15 seconds Final Shot: The camera sweeps around to the front. The protagonist breathes heavily and raggedly; simultaneously, the camera slowly pulls back, taking in the full scope of the desolate, bleak environment surrounding them. Conclusion: The image freezes for three seconds. Throughout the entire sequence, there is no dialogue, no sounds of explosions, and no screaming
Prompt: Food photography commercial, 15 seconds, premium burger product showcase, no human characters, authentic studio food photography aesthetic, Western fast casual dining style, seamless product transitions. 0 to 2 seconds Hero reveal. Clean white photography studio background with dramatic side lighting from a window creating natural shadows. The main hero burger is placed in the center frame on a simple white ceramic plate. Full view of the complete burger with a toasted brioche bun top with sesame seeds, fresh green lettuce, a ripe tomato slice, melted cheese draping over the edges, a juicy beef patty, caramelized onions, and a bottom bun. Steam rises naturally from the burger, showing warmth and freshness. Natural studio light reveals food textures clearly. The style is realistic, appetizing, and accessible, with one beautiful burger as the focus. 2 to 4 seconds Ingredient details. Cinematic zoom into the burger layers. Macro close up of the beef patty showing juicy texture, grill marks, and a slightly pink center. Melted cheese stretches in golden strands. Fresh lettuce appears vibrant green with dewy droplets and crisp edges. The tomato slice looks red and juicy with seeds visible. Caramelized onions glisten. The brioche bun shows a golden toasted surface with sesame seeds and a soft texture. Each ingredient is presented with realistic texture and premium quality. 4 to 6 seconds Sauce moment. Close up of a knife cutting through the burger vertically, splitting it perfectly in half. The internal layers are revealed, with sauce spreading between the patty and bun, melted cheese inside, and juices visible. One half stands upright on the cut surface, clearly showing the bun top, lettuce, tomato, cheese, beef, onions, sauce, and bottom bun. Natural studio lighting highlights the cut surface for an appetizing cross section reveal. 6 to 8 seconds Condiment action. Creative food styling moment. The burger sits on a wooden cutting board whilea bottle of special sauce squeezes directly onto the top bun. Thick white sauce flows down between the lettuce layers. Close up on the sauce stream shows a smooth, rich texture dripping onto the board. The sauce mixes with the melted cheese. A quick dollop of ketchup is added for extra visual appeal. No hands are visible. 8 to 10 seconds Composition play. Multiple burgers are arranged artistically on a rustic wooden table. One burger remains the hero while others act as supporting elements. Wooden utensils and crumpled brown paper create a fast casual restaurant atmosphere. A side view shows the height of the stacked burger. An overhead flat lay shot reveals burgers arranged with fries in the background. Natural window light adds a rustic and premium food photography look. 10 to 12 seconds Dynamic bite. Close up of a burger being lifted toward the camera, then a dramatic bite is taken from the front without showing a person. The burger shows a fresh bite mark with the interior exposed. Cheese stretches from the bitten area. Ingredients remain visible. Steam bursts gently from the center and juices glisten for a highly appetizing moment. 12 to 15 seconds Final hero and brand area. Return to a single hero burger on a clean white studio background. The camera slowly pulls back while the burger remains the main focus. A wooden decorative element or napkin appears in the frame for lifestyle context. The burger glistens with appetizing sheen and steam continues to rise. Close up on the bun top with sesame seeds and a nearby wrapping paper or box with elegant design but no visible text. Final cinematic food shot with the burger centered, desirable, realistic, and naturally lit. Slight motion blur in the steam adds realism before fading to black
Prompt: Camera direction: strict first-person POV (human eye view), 14mm ultra-wide lens, one continuous take with no cuts, natural head movement allowed. IMAX cinematic quality, slight film grain, no background music. Environment: Location: an abandoned subway station, flickering overhead lights, puddles on the floor. Weather: humid air, light fog. Floor: wet, reflective tiles with shallow water. Style: realistic, cool-toned, soft reflections on the water. Character: Hands: rough arms worn by battle. Appearance: a red-and-yellow liquid orb with real refractive effects. Holding method: fully covering the hand. Action flow: 0–2 seconds: raise your hand and hold up the spirit orb, with the subway lights flowing and reflecting across its liquid surface. 3–4 seconds: the spirit orb shatters into separate yellow mech pieces that tightly cover the palm. 4–6 seconds: it assembles into an energy hand cannon. 6–8 seconds: a drowned humanoid monster appears in the tunnel, soaked all over and unsteady on its feet. The palm opens slightly and fires a laser cannon, splashing up a large burst of water. 9–10 seconds: quickly turn around; a second drowned monster rushes in from behind, and you charge up and throw a punch that knocks the monster away. 11–12 seconds BOSS appears: heavy, messy footsteps echo through the station. The camera slowly turns, and a tall, twisted figure appears in the tunnel. The BOSS walks into the light — about 3 meters tall, thin but heavily muscled, with pale damaged skin, an odd posture, and tattered hospital clothes; its movements are twitchy and irregular. The BOSS suddenly charges with unnatural explosive force and swings its arms in a wild barrage of heavy attacks. You quickly sidestep to avoid the attack, and water splashes violently on the floor. The camera briefly follows the missed attack and the ripples on the water's surface, then snaps back. 12–15 seconds finisher prep: slowly raise the palm, and the mech on the hand begins to charge; the water on the floor trembles and lifts slightly, and tiny droplets gather in the air. The mech reaches peak charge and fires a huge energy laser, causing the BOSS's body to collapse and disintegrate downward, leaving only an empty shell that falls into the water
Seedance 2.0 Prompt Tips That Actually Make a Difference
After running enough Seedance prompts, you start to notice that some small details have a much bigger impact than expected. These are the ones that consistently affect output quality.
1
Be specific about ethnicity and language
If you leave this out, Seedance doesn't stay neutral—it just decides for you. In many cases, that leads to Asian faces and Chinese text. It's easier to define this upfront than fix it later.
2
Don't directly name copyrighted characters or IPs
The model can sometimes follow style hints, but naming a specific character often breaks the generation. Describing the look or vibe works much more reliably.
3
Avoid vague descriptions like "a Western person"
Instead of a neutral face, you'll often get something that looks like a random celebrity. Adding simple details—age, clothing, or setting—usually gives more consistent results.
4
Use a rough timeline for multi-step scenes
When a prompt includes multiple actions, writing everything in one sentence can confuse the model. Splitting it into simple stages (like 0–3s, 3–6s) helps it follow the sequence.
5
Use better reference images, not just one
A single front-facing image works for static shots, but once the character moves, consistency drops. Multiple angles make a noticeable difference.
6
Keep the language natural and straightforward
You don't need technical wording. In most cases, describing the scene the way you'd explain it to someone works better than trying to "optimize" every word.
Final Thoughts
Seedance 2.0 is strongest when the prompt matches the model path. Omni Reference is the better choice for controlled, multi-input scenes. First and Last Frame is the better choice for continuity, transformation, and motion-led storytelling. That simple split is often the difference between random output and something that feels intentionally directed.
For creators who want to iterate quickly, LumeFlow AI makes the workflow easier to access, but the real improvement comes from prompt structure. Once the Seedance prompting guide stops trying to describe everything and starts directing the scene properly, Seedance becomes much easier to shape. That is where better results begin.
