TL;DR

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's video model, unveiled on 23 June 2026 at the Volcano Engine FORCE conference. On the shipped API it generates 4 to 30 seconds in a single pass — or duration -1 to let the model choose the length — and accepts up to 50 reference assets in one job: up to 30 images at 4K each, up to 10 video clips and up to 10 audio clips totalling 30 seconds each. It adds video editing and video extension as task types, and generates audio in the same latent space as the picture. Resolution is 480p or 720p; the native 4K at 10-bit shown at the FORCE launch is not exposed on the API. ByteDance also published an official prompting guide for it. This page collects Seedance 2.5 video prompts with the clip each one produced, free to copy. Since 8 August 2026 you can run Seedance 2.5 on apimodels.app as the model seedance-2.5, from $0.120/s; the creators in this library ran these prompts in Dreamina (Jimeng) and Higgsfield.

Handheld DV morning dog-walk vlog

CAMERA: Handheld DV 16mm daily vlog footage. The video MUST begin with her holding the camera at arm's length in selfie mode while stepping outside her apartment building with her dog. The first 20–30 seconds are entirely handheld. Later she occasionally places the camera on a park bench, low stone wall, picnic table, or the ground for wider shots. Keep subtle handheld shake, drifting composition, autofocus hunting, rushed reframing, uneven zooms, exposure breathing, brief accidental face cropping, and imperfect framing throughout. The camera itself is never visible. LOOK: Warm analog tape texture with gentle film grain, slightly softened sharpness, subtle halation around sunlight, realistic skin tones, low contrast, tiny exposure shifts, and natural motion blur. It should feel like authentic footage from someone's everyday life rather than a polished commercial. STYLE: A relaxed morning lifestyle vlog. Quiet, cozy, and spontaneous. She occasionally laughs at her dog, pauses to look around, adjusts the leash, brushes hair away from her face, and speaks naturally in short sentences with comfortable pauses. CHARACTER: EMMA — a beautiful white woman in her mid-20s. Long light brown hair in a messy ponytail, green eyes, minimal makeup, oversized gray hoodie, black biker shorts, white sneakers, and a small crossbody bag. She is walking a happy golden retriever. SETTING: A peaceful suburban neighborhood on a sunny morning. Tree-lined sidewalks, quiet residential streets, birds singing, a small park with benches, green grass, and soft golden morning light. Very few people are around. SCENES: The vlog opens in selfie mode. Emma holds the camera while leaving her apartment building with the golden retriever excitedly pulling on the leash. "Good morning." She smiles. "Someone couldn't wait." The dog eagerly sniffs everything as they walk down the sidewalk. She laughs quietly. "He has to inspect every single tree." Still holding the camera, she walks into a small neighborhood park. The dog suddenly stops and stares at a squirrel. "Oh... there we go." She smiles and gently shakes her head. She places the camera on a nearby bench for a wider angle while throwing a tennis ball. The dog happily chases after it. "Worth waking up early." She picks the camera back up. Walking slowly through the park, she looks up at the trees for a moment. "It's actually really peaceful out here." The dog returns with the ball but drops it halfway. She laughs. "Close enough." She sits on the bench while the dog lies beside her. She scratches behind his ears. "I think he's happier than I am." She stands up and continues walking. The camera stays in selfie mode as they head toward home. "Coffee is definitely next." She smiles into the lens. "See you later." She gives a small wave and ends the recording.

Seven-shot handheld home video

15s handheld home-video vlog, 7-shot montage. Photorealistic phone footage with slight tilt, natural shake, window light, subtle film grain. A woman (use Image1 only for facial identity and hairstyle) does laundry alone on a quiet morning. Outfit: oversized cream linen shirt with rolled sleeves, grey knit shorts, loose cotton apron. Cozy sunlit laundry nook with an open front-load washer, overflowing basket, wooden drying rack, clothespins, and warm sunlight. She is the only person in the video. Sequence: untangles wet clothes → shakes out a shirt → checks a collar stain by the window → hangs it saying "Good enough." → finds a mismatched sock → struggles with a heavy bedsheet while laughing → finishes hanging it and quietly admires the sunlit laundry. Dialogue is natural spoken Korean (except "Good enough"), reacting casually to each moment. Ambient sound only: washer winding down, wet fabric, clothespins, rustling clothes, soft laughter, breeze. No subtitles, text, logos, or watermarks. Do not recreate or copy the reference image—use it only for facial identity and hairstyle.

Mini DV kite-flying ASMR vlog

CAMERA / LOOK: Handheld mini DV camcorder footage filmed by the subject herself. Slight hand shake, occasional focus hunting, imperfect framing, natural zoom adjustments, soft tape-like image quality, subtle grain, realistic auto-exposure shifts from bright open-sky daylight. Natural skin tones, mild motion blur, authentic consumer camcorder aesthetic rather than polished cinematic footage. STYLE: Cozy outdoor kite-flying vlog with gentle ASMR elements. Relaxed pacing, minimal dialogue, candid moments, natural pauses. Focus on satisfying everyday sounds: kite fabric flapping in the wind, string spool unwinding, grass rustling underfoot, light breeze against the microphone. SUBJECT: Young woman in her mid-20s, plain windbreaker, hair tied back in a loose ponytail, minimal jewelry, no visible logos or branded items. Cheerful, carefree energy on a breezy afternoon. SETTING: Small open field on a bright breezy afternoon. Wide open sky, plain grass field, no visible signage, buildings with branding, or logos anywhere in frame. STORYBOARD: → (3s, propped medium shot) Places camera on a low tripod in the grass, unrolls a plain kite. "Perfect windy day for this." → (3s, overhead shot) Unwinds the string spool, checking it's free of tangles. → (3s, close-up) Attaches the string firmly to the kite frame. → (3s, handheld shot) Walks backward a few steps, testing the wind direction. "Feels strong enough today." → (3s, detail shot) Releases the kite gently into the air. No dialogue. → (3s, medium shot) Watches it climb higher, letting the string out slowly. "There it goes." → (3s, macro shot) Kite fabric flapping steadily against the open sky. → (3s, propped shot) Sits down on the grass, holding the string loosely. → (3s, warm ending shot) Looks up at the kite soaring, happy smile. "Love days like this." → (5s, final shot) Reels the string in slowly, glances toward camera. "See you next time." Reaches down and covers the lens as recording ends. AUDIO NOTES: Natural outdoor ambience — kite flapping, string unwinding, breeze, grass rustling should be clearly audible. Dialogue quiet and casual, as if speaking to a small personal audience. REALISM NOTES: Authentic body language, natural blinking, genuine cheerful smiles, occasional pauses adjusting the string, imperfect framing, focus breathing, bright open-sky lighting shifts. No copyrighted characters, logos, brand names, or recognizable public figures anywhere in frame. Fully original personal vlog content, not AI-generated or commercial in style. #DreaminaSeedance25 #DreaminaAI

Handheld travel vlog shot by a friend

A realistic handheld travel vlog filmed by a friend following the main character throughout the day. Use the woman from the reference image as the main subject. Maintain her exact facial identity, hairstyle, facial features, and body proportions throughout the entire video. The camera feels like a real personal vlog camera, not a commercial production. Natural handheld movement, casual framing, imperfect human camera motion, authentic everyday atmosphere. No scripted acting. The woman behaves naturally, interacting with the environment like a real travel vlog. 0-5s: Morning departure. The woman leaves a cozy apartment with a small backpack. She checks her phone, smiles at the camera, adjusts her hair, and starts walking outside. The camera follows her from behind, slightly shaky like a friend filming. Morning sunlight, quiet neighborhood streets, people starting their day. 5-12s: Exploring the city. The camera follows her walking through local streets. She visits a small cafe, buys a drink, briefly talks to the camera, laughs naturally. She walks through a street market, looks at small shops, takes casual photos. The camera stays close, capturing spontaneous moments. 12-20s: Arriving at the beach. She takes public transportation or walks toward the coast. The environment gradually changes from city streets to a seaside town. Ocean breeze moves her hair. She looks excited when she sees the ocean. The camera follows her walking along the beach. She picks up a seashell, watches waves, and interacts naturally with people nearby. 20-27s: Summer beach afternoon. She meets friends at the beach. Everyone chats, laughs, plays near the water. The camera moves naturally between people, capturing real candid moments. She looks back at the camera and smiles. 27-30s: Ending moment. Golden hour sunset. She sits near the ocean, holding a drink, watching the sunset. The camera slowly moves backward, revealing the beach, waves, and the peaceful evening. A feeling of a real personal travel memory. Visual style: Authentic travel vlog footage. Realistic smartphone or mirrorless camera look. Natural daylight. Casual handheld movement. Slight camera shake. Real human reactions. Documentary realism. No cinematic commercial look. No dramatic posing. No artificial transitions. No text overlays. No logos. No face changes. No identity changes.

DV 16mm first-person location diary

**CAMERA:** DV 16mm tape camcorder handheld feel. POV of CHASE holding the camera herself throughout each location, occasionally propped briefly for hands-free moments. Hand shake, misaligned framing, delayed focus pulls, clumsy zooms, occasional face cut-off framing, imperfect shots. Camcorder never appears on screen. **LOOK:** Soft, slightly blurry tape quality, faint tape noise, bloomed highlights, flickering auto-exposure, muted contrast, realistic skin tones — lighting shifts per location (dim early-morning dorm → fluorescent vocal room → mirror-lit practice room → stark evaluation room lighting). **STYLE:** Nostalgic, determined montage feel — younger, rawer energy than her current polished vlogs, evoking a flashback to trainee days. Quick cuts stitched across locations, reflective voiceover narration plays over the visuals instead of synced dialogue. Mood shifts from tired to focused to nervous, ending on quiet resolve. **Character** CHASE — Korean trainee (ref image), late teens/early 20s (younger, flashback version of herself). Long straight black hair, often in a simple ponytail or braid, minimal to no makeup, tired but determined eyes. Wearing simple practice clothes — a plain long-sleeve top and joggers or sweats, fully covering arms and torso, no jewelry. **Setting Progression** Trainee dorm room (early morning) → vocal lesson room (morning) → dance practice room (afternoon) → evaluation room (evening). **Storyboard (15s, 5 cuts)** 1. *(~3s, dorm, propped camera, dim early light)* She wakes up before sunrise, rubbing her eyes, quietly getting ready in the dark so as not to wake roommates. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "Back then, mornings started before the sun even came up." 2. *(~3s, vocal room, handheld, fluorescent light)* She stands at a mic, sheet in hand, focused and a little nervous, mouthing through warmups. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "Every note mattered — you never knew who was listening." 3. *(~3s, practice room, handheld, mirror wall)* She's mid-motion rehearsing choreography, sweat forming, repeating a step over and over. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "I must have run that same eight-count a hundred times." 4. *(~3s, practice room, macro insert)* Close-up on her feet repeating the same step, breathing audible, tape blur softening the motion. No narration — ambient practice room sound only. 5. *(~3s, evaluation room, wide-to-close, tense finish)* She stands nervously in front of unseen evaluators, hands clasped, taking a steadying breath before the camera holds on her face. VOICEOVER (CHASE): "That was the version of me that started all of this."

Natural skin tones, mild motion blur, authentic consumer camcorder aesthetic. STYLE: Cozy coffee-prep vlog with gentle ASMR elements. Relaxed pacing, minimal dialogue, candid moments. Focus on satisfying sounds: bean grinder whirring, portafilter tamping, steam wand hissing, cup clinking, milk frothing. SUBJECT: Young man in his mid-20s, plain t-shirt, hair slightly tousled, minimal accessories. Calm, focused energy while making his morning coffee. SETTING: Small kitchen counter with an espresso machine on a bright morning. Natural daylight, coffee beans and a mug nearby, quiet atmosphere. STORYBOARD: → (3s, propped medium shot) Places camera on the counter, switches on the machine. "Morning coffee, the proper way." → (3s, overhead shot) Grinds fresh coffee beans, fine grounds falling into the portafilter. → (3s, close-up) Tamps the grounds down firmly and evenly. → (3s, handheld shot) Locks the portafilter into the machine. "Here we go." → (3s, detail shot) Espresso streams slowly into a small cup. No dialogue. → (3s, medium shot) Pours cold milk into a small steel pitcher. "Time for the milk." → (3s, macro shot) Steam wand hissing as it froths the milk. → (3s, propped shot) Pours frothed milk carefully over the espresso, forming light layers. → (3s, warm ending shot) Holds the finished cup, takes a small sip, satisfied smile. "That's exactly what I needed." → (3s, final shot) Reaches toward camera, still holding the cup. "See you later." Hand covers lens as recording ends. AUDIO NOTES: Natural kitchen ambience — grinder whirring, tamping, steam hissing, milk pouring should be clearly audible. Dialogue quiet and casual. REALISM NOTES: Authentic body language, natural blinking, genuine focused smiles, occasional careful pauses while pouring, imperfect framing, focus breathing, bright morning light shifts. Should resemble a genuine personal coffee vlog on a consumer camcorder, not a commercial or AI-generated production. #Seedance #AIVideo #AIAnimation #GenerativeAI #AIArtCommunity #DreaminaSeedance25 #DreaminaAI #Seedance25 #Seedance #VLOG #Higgsfield @dreamina_ai @noman23761 @Strength04_X

Selfie vlog with the Trojan War going on behind her

Scene and Mood: A modern, camera ready woman films a casual selfie style vlog update while the Trojan War rages in full chaos behind her, her ironic commentary colliding harder and harder against real explosions, smoke, and clashing soldiers until the danger finally cracks her calm. Frame Map: Shot 1 (0 to 6s), extended arm selfie framing, her face and shoulders fill the left two thirds of frame, x=40%, foreground, chest up. Right third and background hold the smoking battlefield, distant soldiers clashing, burning siege structures. Shot 2 (6 to 14s), same selfie framing, camera whip shakes as a nearby impact throws dust into frame, her face still anchored left center. Shot 3 (14 to 22s), slightly wider selfie angle, x=45%, more of the background battlefield visible behind her right shoulder, chariots cutting across the midground. Shot 4 (22 to 30s), tight selfie close up, x=50%, face fills 70% of frame height, background reduced to a soft focus wash of firelight and smoke. Subject Lock: Long dark wavy hair, olive skin, sharp contoured features, gold hoop earrings, a dust smudged white linen wrap top, holding a matte black phone at arms length toward her own face throughout. Body angled three quarter toward the lens, weight shifting between feet as the ground shakes. Expression starts polished and bright for camera, cracks into wide eyed reaction at the nearby impact, recovers into a knowing smirk by the close. Free hand touches her hair or braces on nothing as she

An ordinary day, deliberately unpolished

Main Subject: Young Korean woman, early 20s, natural everyday appearance, oversized faded t-shirt tucked into shorts, hair tied up in a claw clip, minimal makeup, realistic skin texture, cheerful relaxed personality. Location: Small house window facing a quiet residential alley, mid-morning. Wooden window frame, a bucket of soapy water on the ledge, potted plants nearby, soft sunlight. No commercial elements. Visual Style: Ultra-realistic documentary realism, unscripted domestic feeling, soft natural morning light. Camera Style: Early 2000s consumer DV camcorder aesthetic, handheld shake, autofocus hunting between her and the glass reflections, faded soft contrast, mild sensor noise. No stabilization. Timeline (30 sec): 00:00–00:03 → She dips a cloth into the soapy bucket, then wrings it out over the ledge. 00:03–00:06 → She wipes the window in slow circular motions, streaks of soap catching the light. 00:06–00:09 → She pauses, then says to camera "이거 완전 뿌옇게 됐었어" ("This got really foggy"). 00:09–00:12 → She rinses the cloth again, then continues wiping the lower corner of the glass. 00:12–00:15 → She steps back to check her work, tilting her head side to side. 00:15–00:18 → She notices a smudge, then leans in to rub it out more carefully. 00:18–00:21 → She wipes her hands on a towel, then looks at camera saying "이제 깨끗하다" ("It's clean now"). 00:21–00:24 → She admires the clear view through the glass, smiling softly. 00:24–00:27 → A light breeze moves the curtain nearby; she glances at it, amused. 00:27–00:30 → She looks at camera saying "다음 창문도 해야지" ("I should do the next window too"), walking off as it fades. Audio: Cloth squeaking on glass, water dripping, faint birds, distant street sounds. Her dialogue as noted above. No music. Goal: A quiet, satisfying weekend chore moment grounded, warm, believable.

Slice of life indistinguishable from real footage

Create a 30-second ultra-photorealistic cinematic slice-of-life film that is visually indistinguishable from real footage. Every frame should resemble a premium Netflix lifestyle documentary or luxury commercial, captured on a professional full-frame cinema camera using 50mm and 85mm prime lenses in true 8K HDR. Use physically accurate lighting, natural dynamic range, realistic optical lens characteristics, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, authentic motion blur, lifelike skin with visible pores, realistic eye reflections, accurate fabric simulation, and natural environmental details. Avoid any CGI or AI-generated appearance. The film follows a 30-year-old European woman living a peaceful countryside life. She has naturally tied brown hair with loose flyaway strands, minimal makeup, expressive eyes, realistic skin texture, and wears comfortable linen clothing in warm neutral tones. Every movement should feel subconscious and naturally observed—never posed or performed. She never looks directly into the camera, and her expressions remain subtle and genuine. The story begins inside a cozy farmhouse at sunrise as warm morning light fills the bedroom. She wakes naturally, opens the wooden window, and breathes in the fresh countryside air while looking across mist-covered fields. She then prepares fresh bread in a rustic kitchen, kneading dough by hand, placing it into a traditional oven, and cleaning the wooden countertop with calm, deliberate movements. Next, she walks into her small garden, gently watering herbs, collecting ripe tomatoes, and brushing her fingers across fresh plants while sunlight creates soft natural lens flares. Afterwards, she pours fresh coffee into a handmade ceramic mug and quietly reads a book beside a large window as sunlight illuminates floating dust particles. The journey continues with a relaxed walk through a charming European village lined with stone cottages, flower-filled windows, bicycles, and narrow streets before she visits a small local market to purchase fresh flowers and seasonal fruit. The film ends during golden hour as she returns home, arranges the flowers in a glass vase, sits peacefully by the window overlooking the countryside, and the camera slowly pulls away before fading naturally to black. Performance Direction: Every action should feel authentic and unplanned. Include natural blinking, relaxed breathing, realistic eye movement, subtle posture adjustments, correct body weight shifts, accurate finger anatomy, believable hand interaction with objects, natural walking speed, realistic hair movement, and true-to-life fabric physics. Nothing should resemble acting or posing. Audio Design (Critical): No dialogue, no narration, no subtitles, and absolutely no background music. Tell the story entirely through immersive environmental ASMR. Synchronize every sound naturally with the visuals, including birds singing, gentle wind, wooden floor creaks, curtain movement, dough kneading, ceramic bowls, oven door, running water, leaves rustling, footsteps on grass and stone paths, distant village ambience, market sounds, paper bags, coffee pouring, spoon stirring, page turns, doors opening, evening insects, and quiet countryside room tone. Creative Goal: Deliver a calm, intimate, emotionally grounded slice-of-life film that feels as though it was captured by a real documentary filmmaker. The final result should be so realistic, natural, and immersive that viewers genuinely question whether it was filmed with a real camera rather than generated by AI.3a

Tropical travel vlog, one face throughout

Create a cinematic 30-second tropical travel vlog featuring the same 20-year-old East Asian woman with dark hair throughout every scene. Keep her facial identity, hairstyle, natural makeup and body proportions consistent. Use authentic handheld travel-diary movement, candid performance, soft golden-hour light, natural skin texture, shallow depth of field, warm vintage colour and subtle 35mm grain. 0-4s: follow her through a bright palm-lined Hawaiian street, then move into a windblown close-up. 4-8s: barefoot shoreline walk with low-angle footprints, ocean reflections and volcanic mountains. 8-12s: look up through palms into lens flare, then cut to her profile beside a rocky ocean cliff. 12-16s: quiet beachfront cafe details and a tropical drink by the window. 16-20s: water-level orbit as she floats and laughs on a surfboard in turquoise water. 20-24s: handheld night-market exploration with fruit skewers, local food, lanterns and neon bokeh. 24-27s: wide silhouette at an orange-pink ocean sunset. 27-30s: hotel balcony over tropical city lights, ending on an intimate peaceful close-up. Preserve documentary realism and natural autofocus changes. No CGI look, plastic skin, identity drift, distorted anatomy, duplicate people, oversaturation, blurry face, text or logos.

A minute in an idol’s private day

Create a one-minute Japanese-style idol personal vlog following the same young performer through a private day. Keep her face, hairstyle, wardrobe logic and personality consistent. The footage should feel self-shot or casually filmed by a close friend: handheld phone framing, small focus misses, ordinary room light, natural pauses, playful reactions and clean native ambience. Structure the minute as a personal diary: a direct-to-camera morning greeting at home; relaxed breakfast and getting-ready details; a candid moment playing with her fluffy cat; a quick convenience-store or cafe food stop; handheld travel between locations; rehearsal-room preparation and short performance fragments; an unguarded backstage break; and a quiet nighttime sign-off. Let her occasionally address the camera in natural Japanese, but avoid subtitles and on-screen text. Preserve believable lip sync, room tone and changes in acoustic space. No commercial posing, glamour-ad lighting, face drift, duplicate subject, plastic skin, distorted hands, floating props, logos or captions.

Late-1970s Mediterranean on 16mm Kodak

Style: Authentic late-1970s Mediterranean documentary captured on vintage 16mm Kodak film, naturally faded colors, subtle film grain, real optical imperfections, slight gate weave, shoulder-mounted handheld camera with imperfect human movement, soft vintage lenses, warm afternoon sunlight, realistic skin texture, no cinematic polish, feels like forgotten archival footage discovered decades later. 0–3 seconds: A close handheld tracking shot follows a young woman in her 20s walking slowly through a narrow seaside alley lined with whitewashed houses, hanging linen curtains gently moving in the ocean breeze. She wears a simple linen dress, a woven shoulder bag, and naturally messy hair with no makeup. Instead of posing, she lightly brushes her fingertips across the textured walls while quietly observing everyday life around her. 3–7 seconds: The camera naturally falls slightly behind her as she enters a tiny open courtyard where local people casually gather. An elderly man repairs a bicycle, someone waters colorful plants from a balcony above, laundry sways overhead, and a sleepy orange cat crosses directly in front of the lens. The camera subtly adjusts to avoid the cat, creating an authentic human reaction. 7–11 seconds: A young child runs toward a rolling wooden toy that passes close to her feet. She instinctively bends down, catches it with one hand, smiles warmly, and hands it back without stopping her walk. The child laughs and runs away. No one performs for the camera; everything feels naturally observed. 11–15 seconds: She reaches a small overlook facing the sparkling sea. Instead of stopping dramatically, she casually rests one elbow on an old stone railing while watching distant fishing boats. A gust of wind lifts loose strands of hair across her face. She gently moves them aside and continues walking out of frame as the handheld camera hesitates for a second before slowly following behind. Image Quality: Ultra-photorealistic vintage documentary, authentic analog exposure, realistic human motion, organic focus breathing, imperfect framing, Kodak 16mm archival texture, subtle light leaks, soft highlight bloom, natural skin pores, no AI smoothness, 4:3 aspect ratio.42:T9f4,

A selfie vlog that looks like a real phone recording

A photorealistic smartphone selfie vlog that looks exactly like a real mobile phone recording. A young Korean woman (image = her face and hair) visits a beautiful strawberry farm in Japan on a sunny spring morning. She naturally speaks Japanese throughout the vlog. Holding her phone in selfie mode with realistic handheld movement, slight hand shake, authentic smartphone autofocus, and true-to-life colors, she smiles and says, 「今日はイチゴ狩りに来ました!」 ("Today I came strawberry picking!"). She walks through long rows of strawberry plants, carefully picks ripe red strawberries, and places them into a small woven basket. She chooses one fresh strawberry, takes a bite, smiles with genuine delight, and says, 「甘くておいしい!」 ("It's so sweet and delicious!"). As she continues picking, the basket gradually fills with strawberries. She proudly holds the full basket toward the camera, laughs naturally, then gives a warm wave and says, 「またね!」 ("See you!"), reaching toward the phone to end the recording. The video should feel exactly like a genuine smartphone vlog with natural human movement, consistent facial features, realistic strawberry picking, authentic outdoor lighting, no beauty filters, no CGI, no AI-plastic appearance, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, and no background music—only real farm ambience, birds, gentle wind, footsteps, and natural outdoor sounds.49:T94d,Lock the original artwork completely.

Handheld POV outside a French bar at 3am

A 30 second ultra realistic handheld POV video set in France at around 3 am, outside a busy bar and nightlife street. The camera is the point of view of a young woman filming one handed on an iPhone. We never see the phone itself at any point. The footage must feel like raw, authentic amateur nightlife footage with natural iPhone aesthetics. It is very late. People are leaving bars, smoking outside, waiting for Ubers, talking too loudly, eating kebabs, laughing in tired, sloppy groups. The mood in the street is a mix of drunken energy and visible exhaustion. Faces look tired, makeup is slightly worn, outfits are a bit messy after a long night. The pavement is slightly wet and reflects neon signs, headlights, and warm bar lights. The air feels cold and heavy. The whole scene must feel intensely real, socially awkward, and uncomfortable. The camera operator is a woman, and her friend is another young woman walking a few steps ahead of her, visibly angry. The camera follows her in a shaky, one-handed handheld way. The tension is already there from the first second. The argument is about the friend disappearing with a guy inside the bar and leaving the camera operator alone for nearly an hour, which made her miss the last train and feel abandoned. This is the core of the argument. The friend suddenly turns around while still walking and says in natural French from France: “Tu vas me suivre encore longtemps comme ça ?” The woman behind the camera replies, irritated and hurt: “Bah ouais, parce que tu m’as laissée toute seule comme une conne pendant une heure.” The friend rolls her eyes, tired and defensive: “Oh ça va, j’étais pas ‘avec un mec’, on parlait, c’est bon.” The camera gets a little closer as the woman filming answers immediately: “Mais arrête, tu m’as complètement lâchée. J’te cherchais partout.” The friend stops walking and turns fully toward the camera now, angry but exhausted: “J’allais pas te tenir la main toute la soirée non plus.” A few people nearby start glancing at them. Someone exits a bar laughing, a smoker looks over, a taxi passes in the background. The world keeps moving around them, but the argument becomes the emotional center of the scene. The woman filming replies, more intense now: “C’est pas ça le problème, le problème c’est que t’as disparu sans rien dire. J’ai raté le dernier train à cause de toi.” The friend laughs bitterly in disbelief: “À cause de moi ? Sérieux ? T’es incapable de te débrouiller toute seule ?” The camera jolts slightly from the emotional reaction. The breathing of the woman filming becomes more noticeable. Her voice gets sharper: “Mais t’abuses en fait. Tu fais toujours ça. Tu penses qu’à toi.” The friend steps closer, now visibly losing patience: “Et toi tu fais quoi là ? Tu me filmes en pleine rue comme une malade.” The woman behind the camera replies immediately: “Parce que tu racontes n’importe quoi !” The friend reaches toward the camera, not to grab a visible phone, but clearly trying to push it away from her face. The image jerks sideways hard from the contact. “Enlève ça de ma tête !” The camera operator snaps back: “Me touche pas !” Now the tension breaks completely. The friend, furious and emotionally overwhelmed, shouts: “Mais ferme-la un peu !” The woman filming fires back: “Sinon quoi ?!” There is a half-second pause. Heavy breathing. Eye contact directly into the lens. Then the friend lunges. She pushes into the camera operator. The footage becomes chaotic and violent, shaking hard as the woman filming loses balance. She lets out a shocked cry: “Putain !” The camera stumbles backward and drops toward the ground. As it falls, we catch blurred fragments: legs, jackets, streetlights, pavement, people turning around, someone shouting: “Eh oh ! Ça va pas ou quoi ?!” The friend jumps onto her as both fall out of balance. The camera lands badly on the ground, still recording for a split second, partly blocked by clothing or the ground. We hear struggling, overlapping voices, panic, and nearby people reacting. Then the video abruptly cuts. The entire performance must feel spontaneous, messy, and completely believable. Natural interruptions, overlapping dialogue, breath, hesitation, frustration, and tiny realistic body movements are essential. The acting must feel like a real late night argument between two exhausted friends, not a scripted drama. No cinematic polish, no stylized fight choreography, no slow motion, no music, no visible phone, no artificial lighting setup, and no glamorous performance. It must feel like a real one handed iPhone recording captured in the heat of the moment.50:T120e,@capcutapp Use @Image1 as the visual reference for the overall visual language: low-angle cinematic composition

A friend films the apartment tour

Vertical phone video, 30 seconds. A friend films a casual apartment tour on a smartphone, walking behind and beside her. Natural indoor daylight, handheld sway, clean modern phone footage. Not cinematic, no color grade, no professional lighting. SUBJECT: a woman in her late 20s @image1, warm deep brown skin, long dark box braids pulled half-up, gold hoop earrings, cream knit top, beige wide-leg trousers, relaxed and cheerful. Consistent appearance throughout. LOCATION: a bright, styled modern apartment, cream walls, oak floors, large windows with sheer curtains, houseplants, textured cushions, brass accents, a boucle armchair, an arched mirror. 0–7s: she walks ahead into the living room, turning back toward the camera with a laugh, with this voice @voice1: "Okay fine, we're doing this. Welcome in." 7–15s: the camera pans off her to sweep across the living room, her voice continuing off-frame: "This is where I basically live. That light in the afternoon is... unreal." 15–23s: she walks toward the dining area, the camera following behind her, then she turns and gestures at the wall: "This part used to be completely bare. It looked like nobody lived here." 23–30s: she leans against the counter, smiling at the camera: "Got a design team in and they nailed it first try. I Didn't have to explain myself twice." She laughs and waves the camera off. AUDIO: room ambience, footsteps on wood, warm natural speech with pauses and laughter, faint street sound. No music. FORBIDDEN: no gimbal stabilization, no color grading, no film grain, no studio lighting, no subtitles, no music.6d:T5d3,

How to write great Seedance 2.5 prompts

  1. 1Write it in one fixed order. Subject, then action, then location, then camera work, then lighting, then picture texture. "A person walking" gets you a stock loop; the same subject with a camera move and a light direction attached gets you a shot. Creators who have spent real credits on 2.5 converge on this order.
  2. 2Thirty seconds is written as stages, not as longer sentences. The official guide splits a long clip into [STAGE ONE] / [STAGE TWO] / [STAGE THREE], each with an opening state, one main event, and an end state the next stage inherits. Padding a 10-second prompt with adjectives does not make a 30-second clip; splitting the event into inherited states does.
  3. 3One main action per time segment, described exactly once. Whether you use stages or plain 0-5s / 5-10s ranges, give each segment a single main movement. Two things go wrong otherwise: three actions crammed into five seconds all get compressed, and the guide is explicit that describing the same action twice degrades it.
  4. 4Give every reference asset a job and an exclusion. Not "here are my images" but "@image1 supplies the armour design and colour breakdown. Do not take the background." You can attach up to 50 assets; the more you attach without assigning roles, the faster stability drops.
  5. 5Name your subjects and reuse the name. Write <SOLDIER>, <SHARI>, <WOMAN> once and refer to that token every time after. Over 30 seconds, "she" and "the man" drift onto the wrong body — a named token is the most affordable identity lock there is.
  6. 6Write the sound as a cue sheet, not as a mood. Audio comes out of the same pass as the picture, so list what you want: ambience, the specific foley, dialogue with the language named, and what should be absent. Several prompts in this library end with a full sound list, and it is a large part of why they look finished.
  7. 7Ask for the imperfections you want. Handheld shake, autofocus that settles late, exposure breathing, framing that clips a face. Realism in this model is a list of specified flaws — leave them out and you get a clean commercial no matter how many times you write "candid".
  8. 8End with the negative list, and keep parameters out of it. Close with what must not appear: no subtitles, no watermark, no extra limbs, and — for reference-driven jobs — never render the reference sheet itself or duplicate the subject. Resolution, duration and aspect ratio are generation settings, not prompt text.

Prompt formula

Subject + action + location + camera work + lighting + picture texture + sound. Past about ten seconds, wrap that in timed stages: each stage gets one main action and an end state the next stage inherits, then close with the negative list.

Example: <BARISTA> pulls the last shot of the night in a closing café and sets the cup on the pass. Rain on the window, chairs already stacked, one warm pendant lamp over the machine and the rest of the room in shadow. The camera holds a low medium on the portafilter, then rises to a profile as the cup lands. Photoreal, warm tungsten against cold window light, fine grain. Sound: the grinder winding down, steam hiss, rain, one mug on wood, no music. Do not add customers, subtitles or a watermark.

Frequently asked questions

What is Seedance 2.5?

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance's video generation model, unveiled on 23 June 2026 at the Volcano Engine FORCE conference. On the shipped API it generates 4 to 30 seconds in a single pass (or duration -1 to let the model pick the length), takes up to 50 multimodal reference assets in one job (up to 30 images, up to 10 video clips and 10 audio clips), adds video editing and video extension as task types so a product or background can be swapped without re-rolling the whole clip, and generates audio in the same latent space as the picture. Output is 480p or 720p — the native 4K at 10-bit colour announced at FORCE is not something the API exposes. ByteDance also shipped an official prompting guide for it, which we have walked through in English.

Are these prompts free to use?

Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to copy and run anywhere you have access to Seedance 2.5 — no login, no payment.

Who wrote these prompts?

Two kinds, and they are labelled differently. Prompts the creator published are kept in the language they wrote them in, credited, and linked to the original post — copyright stays with the author. For clips whose creator never published a prompt, we reverse-engineer one from the finished video and mark it "reconstructed": it describes the output, so it cannot recover negative constraints, exact dialogue or the reference-image workflow. It is a writing reference, not the creator's prompt. If you are an author and want an entry removed or a credit corrected, email us.

Where can I run Seedance 2.5 today?

On apimodels.app, as the model seedance-2.5, since 8 August 2026 — 480p $0.120/s, 720p $0.270/s, charged only on success. That is a change: probing our production Volcengine Ark account on 4 August 2026, every Seedance 2.5 model id still returned InvalidEndpointOrModel.NotFound, and we said so rather than sell a page that errors on generate. One key covers it alongside Seedance 2.0 (still the one to use if you need 1080p, from $0.092/s), MiniMax H3, Kling, VEO and Grok. The creators in this library ran these prompts in ByteDance's own Dreamina (Jimeng) and in Higgsfield.

How is writing for Seedance 2.5 different from Seedance 2.0?

The craft is the same; the structure is not. At 4-15 seconds you can write one paragraph for one action. At 30 seconds you have to split the clip into stages, give each stage one main action and an end state the next stage inherits, and lock identity with named subject tokens instead of pronouns — otherwise the model spreads the action evenly and identity drifts across the back half. The reference workflow also scales: 2.0 takes up to 9 images plus a reference video and audio, 2.5 takes up to 50 assets, which makes assigning each one an explicit job and exclusion much more important.

How long should a Seedance 2.5 prompt be?

As long as the clip needs and no longer. The prompts in this library run from about 1,700 to 4,600 characters, and the longest ones are the 30-second pieces — not because they are wordier, but because a 30-second clip has more states to pin down. If your prompt is long because it describes the same action three ways, cut it; the official guide is explicit that repeating an action degrades it.
