Seedance Text to Video
Describe a scene and Seedance renders it as a moving, cinematic clip.
Seedance text-to-video turns a written prompt into a finished video clip. It is the fastest way to test an idea, storyboard a shot, or produce social content without a camera.
Writing prompts that work
Start with the subject and a concrete action, then layer camera direction, lighting, and style. Specific motion verbs outperform vague descriptors, and a clear single scene beats a crowded one.
Pick your output
Choose 5–15 seconds and 720p or 1080p, optionally enabling audio. Generate, review, and re-roll with prompt tweaks until the shot lands.
Frequently asked questions
