3. Advanced Prompt Formula Guide
Core Concept
Seedance 2.0 is essentially a multimodal AI director: it reads your text prompt, images, video, and audio simultaneously, and internally decomposes them into the "spatial layer" (what's in the frame) and the "temporal layer" (how things change over time) to understand and generate visuals.
Therefore, a good prompt is not just "copywriting-style description" but rather "engineering-style instructions."

Common Issues Troubleshooting & Optimization Flow
Writing Process
- Identify "who" is doing "what" → Define subject + action description
- Set "where" and "what atmosphere" → Scene environment + lighting & color
- Tell the model "how to shoot" → Camera movement
- Refine the result → Style + quality + constraints
Summary in One Sentence
First identify who is doing what, then set where and what atmosphere, then tell the model how to shoot, and finally refine the result with style, quality, and constraints.
