Seedance 2.0 Ultimate Prompt Guide: Mastering Cinematic Camera Movement (Universal Formulas Included)

In the wave of AI video generation, Seedance 2.0 (Jimeng AI) stands out with its powerful semantic understanding and visual expressiveness. But many find that with the same model, others generate blockbuster movies while theirs always lack something.

The secret lies in Prompts.

This article compiles a set of Seedance 2.0 specific, ready-to-use prompt techniques for you. From basic formulas to advanced camera movements, no complex learning required—copy and paste to use. Master text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-shot scheduling, and character consistency easily.

I. Core Structure (Universal Formula)

To generate stable high-quality videos, stick to this universal formula:

Subject + Action + Scene + Lighting + Camera Language + Style + Quality + Constraints

Example Template:

A young girl walking slowly by the seaside, breeze blowing her hair, smiling at the camera, dusk warm light, 4K HD, cinematic feel, stable camera movement, smooth picture without shaking, clear details.

This formula ensures AI gets all necessary information dimensions, avoiding random, uncontrollable hallucinations.

II. Action Description Techniques (Seedance Loves This)

Seedance 2.0 has high understanding of action nuances, but you need to use the right words.

• Core Principle: Don’t just write dry words like “dancing” or “walking”, write continuous, natural, slow motion.
• Prioritize Using: Slow, Gentle, Continuous, Natural, Smooth, Not stiff.
• Avoid: Exaggerated, High speed, Complex multi-person interaction, Large distortion.

Good Verb Combinations:

• Slowly turn around, gently raise hand, light steps, slightly lower head, sway with wind
• Camera slowly pushes in, slight orbit, steady follow

III. Camera & Movement (Instant Cinematic Feel)

Seedance 2.0 has extremely strong recognition of camera movement terms. Adding professional photography terms directly to the prompt can instantly elevate the video’s “premium feel”.

• Shot Size: Close-up / Medium shot / Full shot / Extreme close-up
• Movement:
  • Dolly In (Slow push)
  • Pull Back (Slightly pull away)
  • Truck (Steady horizontal move)
  • Orbit (Circle halfway)
• Stability Keywords: Static shot, Handheld stable, No shake, Silky smooth

Practical Example:

Medium shot, slow dolly in, stable follow, silky smooth picture without stutter.

IV. Character/Person Stability (Anti-Face Changing, Anti-Deformation)

This is the biggest headache for many creators. In Seedance 2.0, you must explicitly add constraint words.

Key Constraint Words:

• Clear facial features, Stable face, No distortion, No deformation
• Normal human structure, Natural proportions, Action not stiff
• Same character, Consistent clothing, Hairstyle unchanged

Practical Example:

Character face stable without deformation, normal human structure, natural and smooth movements.

V. Image Quality (Must Add, Improves Clarity)

Just like turning on the “High Quality” switch for the video, weld these words to the end of your prompt:

Universal Quality Words (One-Click Copy):

4K, Ultra HD, Rich details, Sharp clarity, Cinematic texture, Natural colors, Soft lighting, No blur, No ghosting, No flickering, Stable picture.

VI. Style & Atmosphere (Quick Output)

Choose suitable style words according to the theme you want to express:

• Daily/Vlog: Healing fresh, Aesthetic literary, Japanese fresh, Korean atmosphere
• Sci-Fi/Blockbuster: Cyberpunk, Dark premium, Retro film, Dreamy soft light
• Minimalism: Minimalist clean, Premium texture, Realistic photography

VII. Multi-Shot/Storyboard Writing (Seedance 2.0 Strength)

Seedance 2.0 can understand chronological order. Try describing shot changes in a narrative way, don’t make it too fragmented.

Example:

Start with close-up of face, slowly pull back to full shot, character walks slowly, camera follows steadily, ending with a freeze-frame smile.

VIII. Pitfall Guide (Never Write These)

To avoid wasting points, never step into these traps:

• ❌ Complex Multi-Person Interaction: Such as fighting, shaking hands, hugging, etc., easy to cause clipping.
• ❌ Vague Words: Such as “nice”, “beautiful”, “cool”, AI creates hard to understand your needs through these subjective words, equals no description.
• ❌ Contradictory Requirements: Such as “super high-speed running” while requiring “extremely stable without blur”.
• ❌ Sensitive Content: Adult, violence, dangerous actions, copyrighted figures.

IX. Copy-Paste Universal Templates

To help everyone get started quickly, I have organized three high-frequency scenario templates. Copy directly, and fine-tune the subject as needed.

Template 1: Aesthetic Portrait Short Video (Suitable for TikTok/Instagram)

A young girl walking slowly in the forest, breeze gently brushing hair, natural smile, warm lighting, medium shot, slow dolly in, smooth stable picture, 4K HD, cinematic feel, face clear without deformation, normal human structure, rich details.

Template 2: Atmospheric Scenery (B-roll Material)

Sunset by the sea, waves gently patting the beach, camera slowly pans horizontally, warm orange tone, healing fresh, silky smooth picture, 4K Ultra HD, no flickering no ghosting.

Template 3: Image to Video (Fixed Start Frame, Anti-Collapse)

Based on reference image maintaining character appearance and clothing consistency, action slowly raise hand and turn, natural smooth, not stiff not deformed, stable camera movement, HD details, cinematic texture.

Technique Summary

1. Write Actions Slow & Continuous: Slow motion produces the best quality.
2. Write Camera Stable & Simple: Leave complex camera moves to post-editing, aim for stability during generation.
3. Must Add Stable/No Deformation/Not Stiff: This is the quality fuse.
4. Add Quality + Style at the End: Ensure a good foundation.
5. Don’t Write Violent, Complex, Multi-Person: Play to strengths and avoid weaknesses.
