Seedance 2 Image-to-Video & Camera Movement Prompts
Turn any static image into a living video. The key rule: describe the motion, not the static elements — the image already has those.
Portrait Animation
The subject blinks naturally twice, then slowly turns head 15 degrees to the right with a soft smile forming. Hair shifts gently as if in a light breeze. Subtle chest rising and falling with breath.
Product to Life
The product rotates slowly 90 degrees clockwise on its surface, light reflections gliding across the material. Camera executes a gentle dolly in. Maintain exact product details and proportions.
Landscape to Life
Clouds drift slowly from left to right, wind creates subtle ripples across the water surface. Birds fly distantly across the sky. Pan right gently over 5 seconds. Maintain exact colors and composition.

The @Tag Reference System & Best Practices
Seedance 2.0's killer feature: reference uploaded images, videos, and audio directly in your prompt using @tags.
@Image1–9
Reference uploaded images for character faces, style guides, or scene composition. Upload up to 9 images.
@Video1–3
Reference uploaded videos for motion style, choreography, or pacing. Upload up to 3 video clips.
@Audio1–3
Reference audio tracks for beat-sync, ambient sound, or dialogue lip-sync. Upload up to 3 audio files.
Example with @Tags
"Reference @Image1 for the character's face and clothing. She walks confidently through a neon-lit Tokyo street, hair flowing in the wind. Camera tracks from the side. Match the movement style of @Video1. Background music follows @Audio1's beat. Cyberpunk aesthetic, volumetric fog, 4K."
Seedance 2 Prompt Best Practices
Keep It 30–100 Words
Short prompts (under 30 words) lack detail. Long prompts (over 100 words) confuse the model. The sweet spot is 40–80 words of precise, structured description.
Use Degree Adverbs
Words like "slowly", "dramatically", "gently", "powerfully" control motion intensity. "walks slowly" vs "walks quickly" produces vastly different results.
Avoid Negative Instructions
Seedance 2 doesn't support negative prompts. Instead of "no blur, no shaking", describe exactly what you want: "sharp focus, stable tripod shot".
Be Specific About Lighting
"Golden hour", "neon rim light", "overcast diffused" — specific lighting keywords dramatically improve output quality. Never leave lighting to chance.
One Camera Move Per Prompt
Combining multiple camera movements (orbit + dolly + tilt) creates chaos. Stick to one primary camera movement per generation for clean results.
