Seedance 2.0 can generate multiple cinematic shots inside one single video, and the way you write your prompt determines how much control you have over each scene. In this tutorial, we walk through three prompting approaches: short prompts for fast ideation, descriptive prompts that break the generation into scene elements (aesthetic, story, characters, environment, action sequence, production brief, negative prompt), and granular shot-by-shot prompts with timestamps for full creative control.
We also cover the key generation settings: why duration matters (longer generations are more likely to produce multiple scenes), how to match your prompt timestamps to your output duration, when to use “continuous single shot” if you want one unbroken take, and how to keep characters consistent across shots using a character reference sheet and @ image tagging.
Plus we share the sweet spot we’ve found through testing: 5 to 7 scenes per 15-second generation tends to give the cleanest, most cinematic results.
