Where to start
A deliberately paced single scene, such as a slow product reveal or an original environment.
Do not borrow the 4K specification of Seedance 2 for Seedance 2.5. Also distinguish a reference-input ceiling from reliable identity preservation.
A controlled first attempt
- Choose a five-second draft and the lowest resolution that lets you inspect the action.
- Attach only references needed for identity or layout; describe their role.
- Choose either subject movement or camera movement for the first run.
- Inspect one variable, then change that variable alone for a second draft.
Two original briefs
Public-source guide. Briefs are original and untested; paid generation, render-time and authenticated MCP tests are not included.
ORIGINAL BRIEF / 01
Quiet product reveal
ORIGINAL BRIEF / 02
Environment motion
Inspect the result
- Steam should not alter the product geometry.
- The fixed bridge should not warp as the leaf moves.
Log the exact model label, settings, quote, attempts and accepted outputs. Do not compare one selected provider sample against your own unedited draft.
