seedance-prompt

Reference resolution: [ref:<name>] resolves to ../seedance-20/references/<name>.md (the seedance-20 skill's vendored reference corpus); [skill:<name>] is the sibling skill of that name.

Build production-ready Seedance prompts from clear concepts or supplied reference assets. Treat the prompt as a short shooting brief: it must say what changes on screen, what the camera does, what the light and sound contribute, and what must stay stable. Keep final prompts under the platform prompt budget and remove filler before delivery.

Load [ref:quick-ref] for the checklist, [ref:reference-workflow] for multimodal references, [ref:i2v-guide] for image-to-video, [ref:first-last-frame-guide] for first/last-frame work, [ref:examples-by-mode] when examples are useful, [ref:shot-list-continuity] for multi-shot professional plans, and [ref:multilingual-community-examples] for Chinese/Russian/Japanese/Korean/Spanish or mixed-language prompts.

Director Formula

Use Subject + Action + Scene + Camera + Lighting/Style + Audio + Constraints. Put the subject and primary action first because early clauses set the shot hierarchy. Do not force every slot if a reference asset already shows the information; for I2V, describe only the motion, camera, timing, transformation, audio, and preservation constraints that the still image cannot show.
