Prompting Tips for Seedance Lite (T2V & I2V)

  1. Step 1

    Start with the scene

    Summarize setting, subject, mood, and action in one sentence.

  2. Step 2

    Add camera and motion

    Specify movement (slow dolly, pan, tilt) and shot type (close‑up, medium, wide).

  3. Step 3

    Keep duration concise

    Begin with 5–10s clips to maintain motion quality and narrative clarity.

  4. Step 4

    Use reference frames (I2V)

    Provide a still image to lock composition, subject identity, and palette, then describe the motion.
