Seedance 2.5 Prompts
These twelve original briefs are writing starting points, with no generated media attached. Seedance 2.5 on SeaDance offers 480p, 16:9, one video per request and durations of 5, 10 or 15 seconds. The examples use those settings; their creative directions are not output guarantees.
Choose Text to Video when the scene can start from words. Image to Video needs a start image and permits an optional end image. Reference mode takes 1–9 still images; upload images you have permission to use. New accounts start with 0 credits and require a purchase.
Ceramic cup product ad
A matte green ceramic cup from the uploaded product image sits on a pale wooden shelf. The camera moves slowly toward the curved handle while a soft band of window light crosses the glaze. Keep the cup still and leave empty space on the right. A quiet product study with a plain background and no lettering.
Suggested mode: Reference to Video (images only). Duration: 5 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: A still object and one camera move keep attention on the handle and glaze.
Kitchen counter UGC
An adult in a loose striped shirt places a lunch container on a small kitchen counter, opens its lid, and looks toward the camera with a pleased expression. Frame the person from the waist up with gentle handheld movement. Overcast window light, ordinary kitchen details, one continuous casual demonstration, no captions.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The lid opening provides a visible event without needing a spoken testimonial.
Lantern corridor cinema
A night guard in a dark wool coat walks through a narrow stone corridor carrying a sheltered lantern. The camera stays behind and slightly to one side as the guard slows beside a half-open wooden door. Warm light reaches the door handle while the far corridor remains dim. Hold the pause without cutting to another room.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The lit handle gives the pause a concrete point of interest.
Curious terrier
Starting from the uploaded terrier image, the dog lowers its nose toward a fallen leaf on the path, sniffs once, and raises one ear as the leaf shifts slightly. Keep the camera at the dog's eye level with the whole muzzle visible. Soft garden light, gentle movement, a single animal observation with no scene change.
Suggested mode: Image to Video. Duration: 5 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: One sniff and an ear reaction keep the animal action compact.
Coastal travel lookout
A traveler with a rust-colored backpack stops at a low stone wall above a coastal footpath. They rest one hand on the wall and turn toward a small boat crossing the bay. The camera pans gently from the backpack toward the open water, ending with the traveler at the left edge. Pale morning sky and muted sea colors.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The boat gives the pan a destination and the traveler a reason to turn.
Silk scarf fashion
Use the uploaded scarf image for its color and pattern. An adult model in a plain charcoal outfit stands beside a cream plaster wall and lifts one end of the scarf, letting it fall across a shoulder. The camera holds a medium view. Warm side light reveals the folds; keep the wall simple and avoid visible brand marks.
Suggested mode: Reference to Video (images only). Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: Assigning a role to the image separates the scarf reference from the new setting.
Bakery glaze detail
A warm pastry rests on a small metal cooling rack. A baker's hand draws a narrow spoon of glaze across its top in one smooth pass, then leaves the frame. Close view from a slight downward angle, soft window light catching the fresh glaze, a blurred bakery worktop behind, natural food colors and no written signs.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 5 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: One spoon pass makes the food transformation easy to describe.
Track start sports
An adult runner on an empty practice track leans forward from a standing start and takes three accelerating strides. Hold a fixed side view wide enough to include the runner's arms and feet. Low sunlight outlines the shoulders against a dark fence. Focus on the first movement away from the line, with no crowd or score display.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 5 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: A bounded three-stride action fits a short shot without asking for a full race.
Rainy bookshop window
Begin with the uploaded bookshop window photograph. A few raindrops slide down the glass while a person inside turns a page at a reading table. Keep the view outside the window and the camera stationary. Warm interior light contrasts with the cool street reflection. Preserve the window layout and leave book titles indistinct.
Suggested mode: Image to Video. Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The fixed window separates the subtle foreground rain from the indoor gesture.
Clay workshop portrait
An adult potter sits at a workbench and smooths the rim of a small clay bowl with a damp sponge. Frame the hands and upper body from one side, with shelves softly visible behind. Diffuse daylight reveals the clay surface. The potter pauses to inspect the rim, then sets down the sponge. A calm workshop observation in one shot.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The inspection pause gives the handwork a natural ending.
Mountain tent morning
Use the uploaded tent image for its shape and orange fabric. Place the tent on a quiet grassy ridge at dawn. An adult camper steps out, straightens up, and looks across a misty valley. Keep a wide stationary view with the tent on the left and space over the valley on the right. Soft dawn light and restrained outdoor colors.
Suggested mode: Reference to Video (images only). Duration: 10 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: The tent reference has one clear role while the framing leaves room for the landscape.
Desk lamp interior study
A small brass desk lamp illuminates an open notebook on a walnut desk at dusk. The camera moves slowly closer from a medium view, ending on the pool of warm light across the blank page. A cool window remains soft in the background. Keep all objects still and the notebook unmarked, emphasizing the contrast between the two light sources.
Suggested mode: Text to Video. Duration: 5 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Resolution: 480p.
Why this wording: A blank page removes a text-rendering demand and centers the light contrast.
