01 / Plan your scene

Reference roles — optional

Describe the purpose of each asset. This tool uses one placeholder per type and does not upload files. Match these tags to the labels in your video app.

Give every shot one clear action

Up to six shots. Seconds are added automatically; move shots to change their order. The first shot has no incoming transition.

Audio & details to avoid

The product example is loaded to get you started. Edit it or clear the form.

02 / Your shot plan

      The preview updates as you edit. This tool assembles text locally; video generation happens in the Seedance app or provider you choose.

      FROM IDEA TO SHOT LIST

      How to use this Seedance prompt generator

      1. Define the scene. Choose a version and aspect ratio, then describe the subject, setting, visual style and details that should stay consistent.
      2. Plan the sequence. Give each shot an action, duration, framing and camera movement. Keep the total within the selected version’s planning range: 4–15 seconds for 2.0 or 4–30 seconds for 2.5.
      3. Assign references. Describe what your image, video or audio should control. A reference used by a shot needs a defined role. Upload the actual assets separately in your video service.
      4. Copy and generate elsewhere. Copy the prompt into your chosen service and set its duration and aspect ratio there. Download a TXT for your notes or a CSV for a spreadsheet.

      A product reveal prompt example

      For a 12-second film, plan three four-second shots: reveal a terracotta travel mug with a slow push-in; show a hand turning it in a close-up; then pull back into a final composition. Keep the mug shape, lid color and lighting consistent. The Product reveal button loads this editable example.

      The timeline checks your plan’s arithmetic. It does not force a model to obey exact timing or test the generated video. Review your provider’s output and adjust actions or timing when needed.

      Questions before your next shot

      Is this Seedance prompt generator free?

      Yes. Prompt building, copying, TXT and CSV downloads are free and require no account. Generating a video in a separate service may cost money.

      Does the tool use AI or generate videos?

      It assembles the fields you enter using local template code. It does not call an AI model, invent a story from a short idea, generate a video, or connect to your Seedance account.

      Can I write a Seedance 2.5 prompt here?

      Yes. Select 2.5 to plan up to 30 seconds with individual shot timings and reference roles. Select 2.0 for a plan up to 15 seconds. Provider interfaces and supported settings can vary, so check them before generating.

      How do @Image, @Video and @Audio references work?

      Define a role, such as using @Image 1 for product appearance or @Video 1 for camera motion. Upload the asset in your chosen service and use the exact label it assigns. This builder offers one placeholder per type; this is a tool limit, not the model’s full asset limit.

      What does the CSV export contain?

      It contains each shot’s number, start, end, duration, framing, camera, action, incoming transition and reference. It is a planning spreadsheet, not a video-generation API request. Cells that could be interpreted as formulas are prefixed with an apostrophe.

      Are my prompt and references uploaded or saved?

      No. Your fields stay in the current browser page; reloading clears them. References are text placeholders, not uploaded files. Tool Cafe uses Google Analytics for page visits and fixed tool actions, without sending your prompt or reference descriptions. See our privacy page.
