Professional multi-shot storytelling
Seedance 1.0 Pro is the full-quality production model in ByteDance’s original Seedance lineup. Its defining characteristic is multi-shot coherence — subjects and visual styles remain consistent across cuts and transitions, making it the most reliable model for narrative video sequences that span multiple scenes. The camera movement library is comprehensive: dolly shots, zooms, pans, and tracking shots are all supported with cinematic accuracy. Combined with advanced semantic understanding of prompts and 24 FPS output at up to 1080p, Seedance 1.0 Pro is suited for professional narrative content, brand films, and complex storyboards.Capabilities

How to use
Write a detailed prompt
For best results, include the camera movement, subject action, setting details, lighting, and emotional tone. Seedance 1.0 Pro’s semantic understanding makes detailed prompts especially effective.
Prompting tips
- Specify camera movement explicitly — “Slow dolly forward toward the subject,” “tracking shot following from behind,” or “static wide with subtle camera breathing” all produce reliably different results.
- Include lighting details — “Backlit by a setting sun,” “soft diffused morning light,” or “dramatic single-source key light from above” all influence the cinematic feel.
- Name your multi-shot structure — “SCENE 1: … then CUT TO SCENE 2: …” helps Seedance 1.0 Pro maintain subject consistency across the transition.
Example prompts
A documentary filmmaker walks through a dense jungle, camera tracking behind her at shoulder level. Dappled sunlight through the canopy, natural ambient sounds suggested by visuals. Slow dolly forward. 10 seconds, 1080p.
A chef prepares sushi in a clean, minimalist kitchen. Overhead close-up of hands shaping rice, then CUT TO a medium wide shot of the chef presenting the completed dish. Consistent subject, natural lighting. 10 seconds.
