Beat-Synced Close-Up Character Identity Test
A 15-second square-format clip built from 14 beat-synced shots, using a supplied character image as a fixed identity reference. Each beat is a tight cinematic close-up with high facial clarity, a slow micro push-in and shallow depth of field against a neutral background.
Prompt (original, unmodified)
Use the provided character @[image1] as the fixed identity reference. 15s, 1:1, 14 beats, beat-synced, cinematic tight close-up, subtle neutral background, high facial clarity, slow micro push-in, shallow depth of field. 1: AU10 2: AU20

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in character prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In character | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| soft light | 25% | 18% | 1.4x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: close-up 40%, soft light 18%, slow push-in 8%.
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.
