Seedance 2.0 Expert — End-to-End Video Creation Pipeline
Seedance 2.0 is a multi-modal AI video generation system by ByteDance (即梦). It accepts images, videos, audio, and text as inputs. The core insight: text-only → video is fast but unstable; image-first → video is slower but far more controllable. This skill covers the full pipeline.

Phase 0: 素材诊断 — 用户已有什么素材？缺什么？

Phase 1: 图片准备 — 生成角色图/场景图/首帧图（即梦图片 or Seedream）

Phase 2: 视频 Prompt — 任务分类 → 素材分工 → 8 槽位构建

Phase 0: Material Diagnosis
Before anything else, ask the user what they already have:
| User has... | Next step |
|---|
| Nothing (only an idea) | → Phase 1: generate key images first |
| Character images but no scene | → Phase 1: generate scene/environment images |
| All images ready | → Skip to Phase 2 |
| Existing video to extend/edit | → Skip to Phase 2 (Extension/Editing task) |
| Reference video for camera/motion | → Phase 1 if character images still needed, else Phase 2 |
Key rule: If the user has no images and the task requires character consistency, product detail, or specific composition — always recommend generating images first. Text-only video generation leads to unstable results.
Phase 1: Image Preparation (Seedream / 即梦图片生成)
Determine which images are needed and generate prompts for each:
Image Types to Prepare
| Image Type | When Needed | Prompt Focus |
|---|
| Character portrait | Character consistency tasks | Face, hair, clothing, accessories, pose, style |
| Scene/environment | Specific location needed | Architecture, lighting, atmosphere, color palette |
| First frame | Precise opening composition | Exact layout, camera angle, subject position |
| Product shot | Commercial/ad tasks | Product details, texture, branding, angles |
| Costume/outfit | Fashion or outfit-switching | Fabric, color, cut, accessories |
| Expression reference | Emotional performance | Specific facial expression, body language |
Image Prompt Construction Rules
Write image prompts that maximize downstream video compatibility:
- Specify style explicitly — "3D动画风格" / "电影写实风格" / "水墨风格" / "赛博朋克风格". The video will inherit this style.
- Describe the character thoroughly — Age, gender, hair (color/length/style), clothing (specific items + colors), accessories. The more detail, the better consistency in video.
- Choose the right angle — If this will be a first frame, match the camera angle to your planned video opening (正面半身 / 侧面全身 / 俯拍特写).
- Keep background simple for character refs — Solid or blurred backgrounds make character extraction cleaner.
- Match resolution intent — Vertical (9:16) for portrait/short video, horizontal (16:9) for cinematic, square (1:1) for product.
Image Prompt Template
[风格]，[镜头/景别]，[人物描述：性别、年龄、发型、发色、服装、配饰、表情、姿势]，[场景/背景]，[光线/氛围]，[画面质量关键词]
Example — Character portrait:
3D动画风格，半身正面特写，一个25岁左右的亚洲女性，黑色长直发，穿着白色高领毛衣和深蓝色围巾，微笑表情，简洁的浅灰色背景，柔和的侧光，高质量，细节丰富
Example — Scene/environment:
电影写实风格，广角镜头，19世纪伦敦街头，鹅卵石路面，两侧维多利亚风格建筑，雾气弥漫，路灯昏黄光线，行人和马车的剪影，暗调电影色彩
Example — First frame (for video opening):
电影写实风格，中景正面镜头，一个穿红色风衣的女特工站在雨中的十字路口，手持黑色公文包，表情冷峻，背景是模糊的霓虹灯和行人，暗调高对比度，电影级构图
Output for Phase 1
Produce a numbered list of images to generate:
📷 需要生成的图片清单：
1. 角色主图 — [prompt]
用途：视频中作为 @图片1 角色外观参考
建议比例：1:1
2. 场景图 — [prompt]
用途：视频中作为 @图片2 环境参考
建议比例：16:9
3. 首帧图 — [prompt]
用途：视频首帧画面，决定开场构图
建议比例：与视频输出比例一致
Phase 2: Video Prompt Construction
Step 1: Classify the Task
Map to one of 10 categories:
| # | Task Type | Trigger | Primary Controls |
|---|
| 1 | Consistency | "keep character same" | Image refs for character/product/scene |
| 2 | Camera & Motion | "copy this camera move" | Video ref for motion + image ref for subject |
| 3 | Creative Template | "use this as template" | Video ref as structural template |
| 4 | Story Completion | "turn images into story" | Multiple image refs + narrative text |
| 5 | Video Extension | "continue this video" | Source video + extension description |
| 6 | Voice & Sound | "use this voice" | Audio ref for voice/music |
| 7 | Long-Take | "one continuous shot" | Multiple scene images + "一镜到底" |
| 8 | Video Editing | "change the character" | Source video + edit instructions |
| 9 | Music Sync | "cut on the beat" | Audio ref for rhythm |
| 10 | Emotional Performance | "show emotion change" | Video ref for expression |
Step 2: Assign Material Roles
- Images → appearance: character (@图片1), costume, product, scene, first frame
- Videos → motion: camera movement (@视频1), action, transitions, VFX, source for extension/editing
- Audio → sound: voice timbre (@音频1), BGM mood, rhythm for beat-matching
- Text → orchestration: subject, action, camera, timing, constraints, ref relationships
Step 3: Construct 8-Slot Prompt
- Subject — Who/what, appearance source
- Scene — Where, visual style, environment refs
- Action — What happens, which video ref to follow
- Camera — Push/pull/pan/tilt/follow/orbit, POV
- Rhythm — Steady / rapid cuts / beat-synced
- Sound — Voice, BGM, sound effects
- Timeline — Complex shots: 0-3s / 3-6s / 6-10s format
- Constraints — Consistency, "no cuts", brand text legibility
Step 4: Task-Specific Rules
- Extension: "将@视频1延长 Xs". Duration = new portion only. Emphasize continuity.
- Editing: State what to preserve and what to change.
- Music sync: Per-beat descriptions with timestamps. Actions on beats.
- Long-take: Write "一镜到底" + "全程不要切镜头". No contradictory jump cuts.
- Multi-ref: 3+ refs → each must have explicit role.
Phase 3: Execution Guide
After generating prompts, provide actionable next steps:
📋 执行步骤：
1. 打开 jimeng.jianying.com → 图片生成
2. 依次生成上面的 X 张图片，保存到本地
3. 切换到「视频生成」→ 选择「全能参考」模式
4. 上传图片，按 @图片1/@图片2 顺序对应
5. 粘贴视频 prompt
6. 选择时长：X 秒，比例：X:X
7. 点击生成
For extension/editing tasks, remind: duration setting = new portion length, not total.

Camera Replication: 使用 @视频1 作为运镜与动作参考，学习其镜头移动方式、节奏和表演调度，但将主体替换为 @图片1 所示角色。
Video Extension: 将 @视频1 向后延长 5 秒，保持原有镜头语言、动作惯性、角色状态和情绪连续，自然承接原片结尾。
Video Editing: 基于 @视频1 进行编辑，保持原视频镜头结构和动作节奏不变，将主角替换为______。
Music Sync: 使用 @音频1 作为节奏参考，所有关键动作、切景和造型变化对齐音乐重拍和节奏点。

Common Failure Points
- Skipping image preparation → text-only video has inconsistent characters
- Uploading realistic human face photos (blocked by platform)
- Multiple refs without specifying each one's role
- "Reference this video" without clarifying: motion? camera? rhythm? VFX?
- Complex shots without timeline breakdown
- "One continuous shot" while describing jump cuts
- Confusing extension duration with total duration
- Music sync without explicit beat-point descriptions
- Image style mismatch → character portrait in 水彩 but video prompt says 写实
