Citation summary: A strong Seedance prompt structure puts the generation job first, then visible subject/action, scene, camera, references, lighting, duration, constraints, and final frame.

## Question

How should you structure a Seedance prompt?

## Answer

Structure a Seedance prompt in this order: generation job, original subject, visible action, scene, camera behavior, reference roles, lighting, duration, aspect ratio, constraints, and final frame. The order keeps the prompt focused on one short video result instead of a loose mood board. Put the commercial job first so review criteria are clear: product clarity, UGC believability, ecommerce detail, TikTok hook speed, cinematic story beat, image-to-video reference stability, audio timing, character identity, channel intro readability, or brand asset safety. For references, say what each input controls and what must not transfer. For third-party inspiration, preserve the source URL but rewrite source-specific wording, people, brands, protected characters, songs, voices, choreography, UI, captions, campaign scenes, and final execution. HolyCrab should test the structured prompt as a 4-8 second clip and track output review, retry count, rights status, and cost per approved result.

## Key Takeaways

- Put the video job first so the model and reviewer know what success means.
- Use one visible action and one camera behavior for the first short test.
- Write references as roles and include non-transfer rules.
- Place rights and no-copy constraints before generation, not after review.
- End with a final frame or payoff that can be inspected.
