By Best Seedance Prompts
You do not need a 40-tab research session to pick a model. You need one question:
What is the highest-risk part of your shot: action, realism, or speed?
Use the decision tree. Then jump into prompting.
The 2-minute decision tree
If your shot has fast motion or choreography (fights, stunts, chases):
- Pick Seedance 2.0.
If your shot must look like real footage (product ads, architecture, nature realism):
- Start with Sora, then sanity-check with Seedance if you need more camera control.
If you need iterations fast (rapid prototyping, quick social concepts, lots of variations):
- Pick Kling for speed, then "upgrade" your winners to Seedance/Sora.
Pick by output type (quick table)
| You are making... | Start with | Why | |---|---|---| | Action sequence | Seedance 2.0 | Choreography + camera language | | Anime / stylized | Seedance 2.0 | Strong stylized adherence | | Clean product ad | Sora | Photoreal polish | | Documentary vibe | Seedance 2.0 or Sora | Natural motion + believable light | | Viral concept testing | Kling | Fast iteration loop |
