Seedance 2.5 prompt examples
A good Seedance 2.5 prompt names the subject, one clear action, the setting and light, and the camera move. On Motheia each clip is 6 seconds at 720p or 1080p, without sound. These are starting prompts, not showcased results: open one, adjust it, and the studio shows the exact cost before anything is generated.

How to write your own
One action per clip
Six seconds holds one clear beat. Describe a single action from start to finish instead of a sequence of events.
Describe light and texture
Time of day, light direction and surface details give the model something concrete to render.
Name the camera move
Push-in, orbit, tracking shot or static: one camera instruction keeps motion readable.
Lock what must not change
When you start from an image, say which parts stay exactly as they are — the product, the face, the logo.
