This repository provides a structured guide and templates for using Seedance 2.0, ByteDance's AI video generation model. It targets content creators, marketers, and filmmakers, enabling faster adoption and higher-quality video production by simplifying prompt engineering for the AI's advanced directorial capabilities.

How It Works

The core approach leverages Seedance 2.0's "intelligent director" feature, which possesses world knowledge and can automatically choreograph shots. This guide emphasizes an "intent-based" prompting philosophy, encouraging users to describe the desired outcome rather than minute details. It offers over 16 structured prompt templates and 8+ examples, facilitating the creation of complex scenes. The system supports multi-modal references (images, videos, audio) via a specific syntax, allowing users to guide visual style, character appearance, camera work, and sound.

Licensing & Compatibility

The content of this guide is explicitly stated as being for "learning and exchange purposes only," implying a restrictive, non-commercial license for the documentation itself. Standard open-source licenses are not mentioned. Compatibility for commercial use or integration into closed-source projects is not addressed and likely restricted by the stated usage terms.

Limitations & Caveats

Seedance 2.0 generation has several limitations: real face material is unsupported, a maximum of 12 files (9 images, 3 videos, 3 audio) can be used, video duration is capped at 15 seconds, only MP3 audio is supported, and output resolution is primarily 720P. Direct use of known character names in prompts is discouraged due to potential rejection.
