About character prompts
Character work in Seedance 2.5 leans on framing that holds a subject still and studies them: medium shots appear at 2.99x the library rate, static or fixed setups at 2.81x, and tilts at 2.78x. Soft light is the dominant choice at 2.78x the norm, with studio lighting and cool tones close behind — a controlled, portrait-like signature rather than run-and-gun coverage. Every one of these 43 prompts carries an explicit consistency lock.

character prompts: common questions
What camera angles work best for character prompts in Seedance 2.5?
Medium shots and static or fixed setups dominate, appearing at roughly 3x and 2.8x the rate seen elsewhere, with tilts close behind at 2.78x. That combination keeps the subject centred and readable rather than chasing movement, which suits character-focused clips.
How long should a Seedance 2.5 character video be?
Thirty seconds is the most common duration, used in 12 of 43 prompts, followed by 15 seconds in 8. Shorter runs of 7, 8 and 20 seconds appear only occasionally, so most creators are giving a character a full half-minute to develop.
Do character prompts need a consistency lock?
Yes — all 43 prompts state one, making it the only element present in every single example. Since the subject must stay recognisable across shots, the lock is what holds identity together while camera and lighting vary around it.
