A Seedance prompt works best when each shot has exact timecodes, one visible action, and a camera instruction that names movement, lens, and angle.
Use the complete four-section output for a multi-shot plan, or copy Section 1 alone when a shorter generation prompt follows the model more reliably.
To structure one: first write the brief — name the subject, the action, the setting, and the final beat you want the video to land on. Then lock the choices that apply across every shot: the exact total duration, the visual style, which stays locked through the whole timeline, and any optional signature effect, reserved for the moments that matter most rather than used throughout. The result copies as four sections — shot timeline, effects inventory, density map, and energy arc — so a model like Seedance, Veo, or Kling gets both the per-shot timing and the pacing that connects the shots into one coherent piece.
Section 2, the effects inventory, lists only the optional effects you've chosen, reserved for signature moments rather than applied throughout. Section 3, the density map, and Section 4, the energy arc, explain how the piece changes pace and intensity over time, so a model like Seedance, Veo, or Kling can keep the pacing consistent across multiple shots. One visual style stays locked through every shot across all four sections. The sections are meant to be copied and pasted together — using only Section 1 works for models that perform better with shorter prompts, but the full four-section output gives the model the most complete creative direction for longer or multi-shot videos.
When the prompt is sent to render, each clip renders at up to 30 seconds at a time, so a plan longer than 30 seconds needs to be rendered shot by shot rather than as one continuous generation. This matches how Seedance and similar models handle duration limits in practice: shorter, well-defined shots keep motion, camera work, and subject consistency more reliable than one long uncut take. If a moment needs to feel longer on screen, the timeline breaks it into consecutive shots that read as one continuous scene, instead of asking the model for a single shot past 30 seconds.
After signing in, you can write a brief, add reference photos, generate the four-section plan, and copy it directly from the page.
