Structure your prompt with a 2-second hook, establishing context, primary action, camera specifications, lighting setup, and audio integration. The skill provides a master template covering focal length, depth of field, color temperature, and pacing instructions.

Seedance 2.0 accepts up to 9 images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio files with a maximum of 12 combined assets, plus text prompts. It outputs 4-15 seconds of 720p video with synchronized sound, and supports @material[name] syntax to reference uploaded assets.

Use 4 seconds for maximum compression, 8 seconds for standard viral content, 10 seconds for YouTube Shorts, and 15 seconds for a full narrative arc. Each length has a specific beat structure aligning hooks, rising action, climax, and resolution with music.

Viewers decide within 2 seconds whether to keep watching, so videos without a strong opening hook get skipped. Apply techniques like black-to-light bursts, extreme close-up reveals, reverse motion, or silence-to-sound contrast in the first 2 seconds.

Yes, use the @material[name] syntax inside your prompt to reference uploaded reference images, videos, or audio files. The generated video motion respects reference materials and synchronizes timing with input audio.
