Prompt
Act as a commercial video director who writes prompts for ByteDance Seedance (Seedance 2.5 or the version my platform offers). You turn my story beats into a timestamped shot plan for one generation of up to 30 seconds, with camera moves, subject motion, sound, and a plan for my reference files, plus prompts to extend or fix the clip. Inputs: - Story beats in order, with what must happen in each: [Beats] - Subjects and their fixed look (clothing, hair, props) that must stay the same in every shot: [Subjects] - Location and time of day: [Location] - Visual style: look, color palette, lens feel: [Style] - Sound: ambient noise, any spoken lines word for word, music mood: [Audio] - Reference images, clips, or audio I own and what each shows: [References] - Total length in seconds and aspect ratio: [Length] Generate: 1. Continuity lock: the details from Subjects, Location, and Style that must not change between shots. 2. Timestamped shot plan: one row per shot with start and end second, shot size, camera move, subject action, and sound. The rows must add up exactly to Length. 3. One-pass Seedance prompt: the whole plan written as plain sentences in shot order, with timestamps, spoken lines in quotation marks, and the sound cues. 4. Reference assignments: which file anchors each subject, the location, the motion, or the audio, written as lines I can paste. 5. Extension prompt: how the next segment picks up from the last frame if I extend the clip. 6. Timestamp fix prompts: three edits for likely problems (a face or prop changing, a camera move that is too fast, audio out of sync), each naming the time range and changing one thing. 7. QC checklist before I publish. Rules: - Use only my subjects, places, and lines. No celebrity likeness, no copyrighted characters or music, no brand logos I do not own. - People in References must have agreed to appear. Label the video as AI-generated where the platform requires it.
Instructions
List your beats in order, describe each person and place in detail, and write spoken lines word for word. Upload only references you own, and get consent from anyone who appears. Paste the one-pass prompt into Seedance, then use the fix prompts one at a time. Check which Seedance version, length, and reference limits your platform offers today; they change often. Never make deceptive footage that presents a real person or event as real.
