The Seedance 2.5 Prompt Pack.

Ten prompts that make ByteDance's new model worth the price: a 30-second continuous shot with integrated sound, a character who keeps your face across every cut, a dialogue film where the AI speaks in your cloned voice, a title card the model writes in fire — plus a set of three UGC ad prompts built for client work. Every prompt here was generated, checked frame by frame, and kept. No theory.

10 30s 195 0 PROMPTS ONE-TAKE, NATIVE AUDIO CREDITS PER 30S CLIP WASTED RE-ROLLS

BEFORE YOU BURN A SINGLE TOKEN

This model is expensive. Prompt like it. Seedance 2.5 uses about 6.5 credits per second of video: a 10-second clip costs 65 credits, and a full 30-second one-shot costs 195. That changes how you write prompts. With cheap models, you keep regenerating until you get lucky; with this one, the prompt does the directing before you spend, so the first generation is the final one. These four rules saved every credit in this package:

• Draft in 10 seconds, refine in 30. Test a risky idea as a short 65-credit clip before committing 195 to the storyboard version. If the 10-second draft nails the aesthetic, the 30-second prompt will inherit it.

• Direct everything that could go wrong. Eyelines, clothes, camera moves, when the music dips, what is said and by whom. Every phrase you leave vague is a reroll you'll pay for.

• Enable audio and direct it like a composer. Audio is included in the price. Name the genre, BPM, when the track ducks under dialogue, and where it cuts to silence. “Epic music” gets you elevator strings; a mix brief gets you a trailer.

• Chain two 30-second clips instead of chasing one long one. Keep the same character and world description in both prompts, end clip one at a launch moment, open clip two midair, and cut them together. Sixty seconds, one story, 390 credits.

THE THREE WALLS EVERYONE RUNS INTO

Know these before your first generation. None of them are documented anywhere. All three cost real credits and real time before revealing the solution — you can skip that part.

• Photorealistic face close-ups fail with simple text-to-video. If a human is your subject, use reference mode with a portrait image instead of describing a face from scratch. Text-only humans work in medium and wide shots.

• "IP verification not completed" on your uploaded photo. Raw uploads can remain in the identity verification queue forever. The solution: generate a portrait of YOURSELF on the platform first (image model + your saved character reference), then use that generated image as the reference for the video. Images made on the platform skip the queue.

• The platform suggests a preset instead of generating. Dark or neon prompts are intercepted with a recommendation for a house preset. Decline and resubmit the same prompt: you want the raw model, not the template.

THE SKELETON

Six blocks. Every prompt in this pack uses them. Seedance 2.5 follows directions like a crew, not a slot machine. Structure each prompt in this order and it’ll hit its marks:

• 1 · Format statement. "A 30-second cinematic one-take with spoken dialogue…" Length, style, and whether cuts are allowed, stated in the first sentence.

• 2 · Character lock. "...starring the man from the reference image with his exact same recognizable face throughout, wearing a black hoodie." Repeat the face line once per scene change; anchor ONE outfit unless the transformation is the point.

• 3 · Staging direction. Where the eye line goes, who's on camera, which angles are allowed. This is the difference between an actor and a mannequin.

• 4 · Audio mix brief. Genre, tempo, instruments, and mix verbs: builds, ducks under dialogue, cuts to silence for the punchline.

• 5 · Numbered scenes with quoted dialogue. SCENE ONE, SCENE TWO, SCENE THREE, each with the action and exact quoted line at its moment.

• 6 · Sound design checklist. Finish the prompt with all the effects you want, in order: knock-knock, eye-opening whoosh, wing flaps, fire roar. The effects land at the right visual moments when you list them.

Customize: the prompts on the next pages are written out in full so you can paste them as-is. Everything in [BRACKETS] is for you to replace before submitting.
