How do you write prompts for seedance-2.5/image-to-video-spicy?

  1. Subject first: lead with the actor and action, then add environment, lighting and style ("an astronaut sprinting through a neon street in the rain, cinematic, shallow depth of field").
  2. Concrete nouns beat stacked adjectives: "85mm portrait lens, golden-hour backlight" works far better than "very beautiful, ultra high quality".
  3. Change one variable per iteration: pin the seed to reproduce a result, tweak a single phrase at a time so you know what actually moved the output.
  4. State negatives positively: instead of "no blur", ask for "sharp focus, crisp details".

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-use in credits. About $1.80 per typical run ($1 = 100 credits); the exact price varies with parameters like resolution or duration, and the playground shows the exact quote before you submit.

Sample Prompts

  • The woman in the image turns from the window and walks slowly toward the camera; slow push-in, warm interior light, cinematic mood.
  • The parked car in the image pulls out and drives down the wet street. 0–3s: headlights switch on and the car eases forward, reflections rippling on the asphalt. 3–6s: it accelerates past the camera, which pans to follow. Low angle, neon reflections, light rain, no music, only engine and ambient rain sounds.
  • 0–2s: the character looks up into the distance, hair moving in the wind. 2–5s: the camera orbits halfway around the subject as the lighting shifts from warm to cool. Shallow depth of field, restrained handheld feel.
