What itdoes well
Seedance 2.0 reads a prompt like a shot list. These are the parts worth writing for.
01
More than one shot per clip
Ask for a wide and then a close-up in one render, and describe each in order. Subject and light carry across the cut.
02
Camera language
Name the move: push-in, dolly left, orbit, handheld. Shot size and lens words steer the framing.
03
Native audio
Ambient sound and effects are generated with the picture. Switch audio off for silent clips; the price does not change.
04
Reference images
Guide a shot with up to 9 images for product, character or style.
How to writea prompt that lands
Write it the way a director briefs a crew: what is in frame, how the camera moves, how it is lit.
Three layers
Perfume bottle on black glass, mist bursts from the nozzle, slow push-in, shallow focus, hard side light, black background, film grain.
- Subject and action · what is in frame and what it does.
- Camera · the move, shot size and focus.
- Light and style · light direction, palette, texture.
Give it a timeline
For multi-beat clips, mark the beats in seconds.
0–2 s: wide of the street. 2–5 s: close-up on her hands as she opens the box.Point at your images
Refer to uploaded images by number so the model knows which does what.
Use @image1 as the first frame. Keep the label from @image2.Say what to avoid
One short line of exclusions beats a long list.

}Live channelsas measured
One model can run on more than one supplier. Each row is one channel: its state right now, and its success rate and median render time over the last 24 hours. Refreshed every minute.
| Channel | Status | Success rate, 24 h | Median time, 24 h |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading live data… | |||
Loading live data…
Your price is the same on every channel. We switch to the backup only when the primary is unavailable or your API routing preference says so.
Measured from finished jobs in the last 24 hours. Failures caused by the request itself (a refused prompt, invalid settings, a cancellation) do not count against a channel. A channel shows numbers once it has 20 runs; until then it says not enough data yet. Time runs from the first submit to a successful result. In the API, set routing_preference to stability (the default) or speed. Platform status
