Glossary library

Each entry is organized around definition, impact, writing pattern, and common mistakes.

Camera Movement

The way the virtual camera travels, rotates, follows, or reveals information over time in a generated shot.

Image to Video

A workflow that starts from an image and asks Seedance to extend it into motion while preserving composition or identity cues.

Seedance Prompt

The core instruction block that tells Seedance what to show, how it should move, and what visual constraints to keep stable.

Text to Video

A generation mode where the model creates a video from text alone, without image or video references.

Character Consistency

The ability to keep the same person or character recognizable across frames or multiple generated shots.

Cinematic Lighting

Lighting language that shapes mood, depth, emphasis, and premium visual quality in a generated video shot.

First and Last Frame

An entry mode that locks the opening and closing image of a generation so motion and timing are predictable from a fixed start and end state.

Motion Control

The set of prompt and reference techniques used to direct what moves in a generated shot, how fast it moves, and how that motion changes over time.

Multimodal Input

A generation flow that combines text, image, video, and audio references in a single prompt so each modality controls a different part of the output.

Prompt Structure

The ordered way a Seedance prompt arranges subject, action, camera, style, and constraints so the model can apply a clear hierarchy of importance.

Reference Image

An image supplied to Seedance to preserve subject identity, style, composition, or product details during generation.

Reference Video

A source clip used to guide motion rhythm, camera behavior, editing energy, or effect language in a new generation.

Shot Type

The framing category of a generated clip such as wide shot, medium shot, close-up, or over-the-shoulder, used to describe how much of the subject and environment is visible.
