character prompts: common questions
What camera setups work best for Seedance 2.0 character prompts?
Static and medium shots dominate, appearing at 1.92x and 1.93x their normal rates. Close-ups are the single most used term at 129 prompts, but the distinctive choice is a locked-off medium frame, sometimes with a slow push-in, so the character's expression stays the subject.
How long should a character video prompt be?
Fifteen seconds is the clear default, used in 117 of 395 prompts, with 10 seconds a distant second at 28. Longer durations are rare, so most character clips are written as a single short beat rather than a multi-scene arc.
How do I keep a character consistent across shots in Seedance 2.0?
Nearly every prompt does this: 385 of 395, or 97.5%, include an explicit consistency lock. Describe fixed traits such as face, hair, wardrobe and build, and repeat them verbatim in each shot description so the model has no room to drift.
