How to Use Seedance

Learn a practical Seedance workflow for planning, generating, and refining AI videos from text prompts and reference images.

Plan the Scene

Before opening Seedance, define what you want to create. Identify the subject, setting, action, shot sequence, camera movement, and visual style.

  • Write one sentence that describes the main moment
  • Choose a text prompt or reference image
  • Decide how the camera should move

Create the Prompt

Turn the plan into a focused prompt. Use clear subject, scene, action, camera, and style language. Add a reference image when you need to preserve a specific visual.

Prompt Example

A ceramic artist shapes a clay bowl at a sunlit workbench. The camera slowly orbits around her hands, revealing the soft texture of the clay. Warm natural light, realistic style.

Generate and Review

Generate the first version, then review it against the plan. Look for subject accuracy, motion quality, camera movement, style consistency, and any visual glitches.

  • Check whether the main subject matches the prompt
  • Check whether the camera movement feels natural
  • Note any inconsistent details to correct

Refine the Result

If the result needs improvement, change one variable at a time. A simpler or more specific prompt often produces a more controllable video.

  • Add or remove a reference image
  • Clarify the subject or action
  • Change camera language
  • Simplify competing details
  • Regenerate and compare
