Seedance Prompts: How Real Templates Are Built
Seedance prompts in the MarketVideo catalog follow one pattern: they are written in English, split into labeled blocks such as SUBJECT, and state the scene length up front.

Below, real templates show each part at work, from a desert bat smash to a two-photo family cartoon. Reuse the pattern on the Create video page, or run a template as is and let its prompt do the work.
Genre and length first, then SUBJECT
Desert Night Bat Smash opens with "Cinematic desert night action sequence, 5-second continuous scene." Labeled blocks follow: SUBJECT says who stands in frame and what they grip, SETTING draws the dunes and starry sky, LIGHTING sets cool moonlight. Each block answers one question.
Scene length written into the text
Duration is spelled out in words. Animated Love Story starts with "Format: 10 seconds" and asks for camera cuts every 1–1.5 seconds. Tokyo Travel Vlog begins "Create a 10-second cinematic travel vlog montage." With a fixed length, the prompt can plan its beats.
Tying the scene to your photos
When real people matter, the prompt names each upload. Daughter Gives Dad a Makeover calls the first photo the father reference and the second the daughter reference, then asks to keep faces, hairstyles and ages. Luxury Car Reveal does the same for a car: paint, wheels and proportions stay unchanged.
Writing your own on Create video
Pick Seedance 2.0, 2 Mini or 2.5 Omni, attach a photo if the scene needs one and keep the catalog order: format and length, SUBJECT, SETTING, LIGHTING, camera. Results vary from run to run, so small details may shift between attempts.

FAQ
Do Seedance prompts have to be in English?
No rule forces it, but every Seedance template in this grid is written in English, including camera terms like continuous take or vertical 9:16. Starting in English keeps your text close to the tested examples.
Why state the duration inside the prompt?
Stating the length gives the pacing a target. Desert Night Bat Smash describes a single 5-second continuous scene, while Animated Love Story fits a cut every 1–1.5 seconds into 10 seconds.
Where can I see the full prompts?
Open any card in the grid: its description holds the prompt that template runs. Each card lists what a run costs in stars before you begin; confirming your email adds a few to start, and Pricing has more.
