| Technique | In cinematic realistic | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| hard light | 10% | 8% | 1.36x |
| low-key | 22% | 17% | 1.31x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, close-up 40%, low-key 17%, pan 9%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
