Citation summary: Seedance character consistency improves when the prompt assigns one owned reference to identity, limits the motion test, and repeats stable visual anchors across shots.

## Question

How do you keep characters consistent in Seedance 2.0?

## Answer

Keep characters consistent in Seedance 2.0 by using owned or authorized references, assigning each reference a clear identity role, and testing one short shot before adding camera complexity. In HolyCrab, write the character anchors as visible traits, wardrobe, silhouette, face-framing, and constraints, then compare each output against the same approval checklist.

## Key Takeaways

- Use references you own or have permission to use; avoid celebrity likenesses and protected characters.
- Describe stable anchors: hair shape, wardrobe, silhouette, age range, expression, and posture.
- Keep the first test short and use one camera move so identity drift is easier to spot.
- For multi-shot workflows, repeat the identity anchors and change only one motion or scene variable at a time.
