Seedance 2.0 Music Video Prompt Formulas (Performance, Montage, Vibes)

Music video prompting is about rhythm: you want shots that cut well together, even if you are generating each clip independently.

The music video prompt stack

Every shot should specify:

• performance or subject action (simple and repeatable)
• camera move (one move)
• lighting identity (one look)
• a transition hint (optional)

Template: performance close-up (singer/rapper/DJ)

Artist performance in [location], confident energy, clear lip-sync vibe (no text).
SHOT: close-up, 85mm look, shallow depth of field, crisp eyes.
CAMERA: slow handheld push-in, subtle micro-jitter, no random cuts.
LIGHT: [choose one look], strong rim light, bokeh highlights.
FINISH: music video color grade, slight bloom, film grain.

Template: montage B-roll (3-shot list)

Generate three separate clips with the same palette:

Clip A: [detail shot], camera slow macro push-in, same palette.
Clip B: [wide environment], slow crane reveal, same palette.
Clip C: [hands/object interaction], controlled motion, same palette.

Template: abstract visualizer (loop-friendly)

Abstract visuals: flowing particles in [two colors], repeating motion, hypnotic rhythm.
Camera: locked-off, perfect loop, stable exposure.
Finish: glossy highlights, clean gradients, no noise artifacts.

Transition ideas that actually cut

• whip-pan
• match cut on shape (circle to circle, silhouette to silhouette)
• light flare wipe (bright practical crosses frame)

Whip-pan transition template:

End the shot with a fast whip-pan and strong motion blur, then start the next shot landing from the blur into the new scene.
