Start with a practical walkthrough
Read our step-by-step Seedance shot-planning guide. It includes a proposed prompt, input checks, credit review and ways to evaluate the first result. We distinguish editorial concept artwork from actual model output.
Start with the working guide
There are no published articles in this section yet. The creation guide explains how to prepare a prompt, choose a model, check the credit quote and review a result. Open the generator for the currently available models and settings.
For a failed request, unexpected charge or download problem, follow the steps in Support. Include the job identifier and relevant settings, and keep passwords and payment details out of your message. See the privacy notice before submitting personal material.
Write the scene before the style
A clear Seedance brief identifies a subject, a place and one action. “A tram crosses a rain-lit miniature street while the camera moves slowly forward” gives a reviewer observable details. A long chain of aesthetic adjectives does not explain which part of the image should move. Establish the action first, then describe lighting or texture only where it affects the shot.
Use the shot-planning resources to separate subject motion from camera direction. A gentle push-in and a fast orbit create different visual problems. Combining them with several cuts in one short request can make a successful result difficult to judge.
Choose text or an authorized first frame
Text gives the model room to propose a composition. An image provides a starting arrangement when that arrangement matters. Neither approach guarantees the exact preservation of faces, objects or lettering. Check the selected model's current inputs before preparing an ending frame, audio track or additional reference.
For a reference-led attempt, inspect the image at its intended display size. Important subjects should be recognizable without depending on tiny details. Keep a copy of the source and confirm that you have permission to submit it.
Review a clip in three passes
First watch at normal speed to judge whether the action reads clearly. Then inspect the beginning and end for changes in shape or composition. Finally, review the entire clip for unexpected text, faces, objects or transitions. A strong poster frame alone does not establish that the video is ready to publish.
Record one revision that addresses the most important problem. Review the new credit quote before submitting again, and follow the status of an existing request instead of creating duplicates. These notes support the practical walkthrough above; they are editorial guidance, not claims of measured Seedance performance.
