Citation summary: Seedance prompt settings should be chosen after the generation job: model route, input media, aspect ratio, duration, reference roles, safety constraints, and retry budget.

## Question

What settings should you use for Seedance prompts?

## Answer

Choose Seedance prompt settings after you choose the video job. For the first test, use the shortest useful duration, a clear aspect ratio, one model route, one input mode, and the fewest references needed to prove the result. Product ads usually need product or final-frame references, UGC and vlog prompts need believable creator framing, ecommerce prompts need inspectable detail, cinematic prompts need camera and light control, image-to-video prompts need reference roles, and audio-video prompts need timing boundaries. If a prompt is inspired by a third-party page, do not copy its exact people, products, music, captions, UI, scene, or campaign settings. Translate the settings into a HolyCrab handoff with owned material, source URL, reference role, no-transfer rule, duration, aspect ratio, retry budget, rights status, and final review criteria. Approve settings only when output quality and cost per approved clip both make sense.

## Key Takeaways

- Pick settings from the job: product, UGC, ecommerce, cinematic, image-to-video, audio-video, or character test.
- Start short so retry cost stays visible before scaling duration or references.
- Use one primary reference role per asset and say what must not transfer.
- Keep aspect ratio tied to channel: vertical social, square feed, or horizontal showcase.
- Record model route, media inputs, duration, rights status, retry count, and approved-output cost.
