## Core Syntax: @ Citation System

Seedance 2.0 uses `@` to specify the purpose of each material, which is the most crucial part of prompt writing.

### Citation Method
```
@image1    @image2    @image3   ...
@video1    @video2    @video3
@audio1    @audio2    @audio3
```

### Specifying the Purpose for Each Citation
Be sure to clearly state **the role of each citation**:

| Purpose | Example Usage |
|---|---|
| First Frame | `@image1 as the first frame` |
| Last Frame | `@image2 as the last frame` |
| Character Appearance | `Refer to @image1 for character appearance` |
| Scene/Background | `Scene reference @image3` |
| Camera Movement | `Refer to @video1 for camera movement effects` |
| Action | `Refer to @video1 for action choreography` |
| Special Effects | `Completely reference @video1 for special effects and transitions` |
| Rhythm/Beat | `Video rhythm reference @video1` |
| Voice Tone/Diction | `Narration voice tone reference @video1` |
| Background Music | `Background BGM reference @audio1` |
| Sound Effects | `Sound effect reference @video3's sound effects` |
| Clothing | `Wearing the clothing from @image2` |
| Product Appearance | `Product detail reference @image3` |
| Font/Text | `Font reference @image2's font` |

### Combining Multiple Citations
You can combine multiple citations in a single prompt:
```
The character from @image1 as the main subject, referencing the camera movement and action choreography from @video1,
with background BGM referencing @audio1, and scene referencing @image2
```

## Prompt Structure Template

### Basic Formula
A high-quality Seedance 2.0 prompt follows this structure:

```
[Subject/Character Setting] + [Scene/Environment] + [Action/Movement Description] +
[Camera Language] + [Segmented Description] + [Transitions/Special Effects] +
[Audio/Sound Design] + [Style/Atmosphere]
```

### Segmented Prompts (Recommended for over 10 seconds)
Precisely control the visual content by describing it in time segments:

```
0–3 seconds: [Opening scene description, camera movement, action]
3–6 seconds: [Mid-section development]
6–10 seconds: [Climax or key action]
10–15 seconds: [Ending, freeze frame, brand text]
```

## Prompt Patterns for Various Scenarios

### 1. Character Consistency
Maintain character uniformity by anchoring reference images:
```
A man @image1 walks tiredly down the corridor after work, his steps slow down, and he finally stops at his doorstep.
Close-up on his face, the man takes a deep breath, adjusts his emotions, sheds his negative feelings, and becomes relaxed.
Then, a close-up of him fumbling for keys, inserting them into the lock, and upon entering the house, his young daughter and a
pet dog happily run to greet and hug him. The interior is very warm. Natural dialogue throughout.
```

### 2. Precise Camera Movement Replication
Replicate camera movements from a reference video:
```
Referencing the man's appearance in @image1, he is in the elevator from @image2. Completely reference all camera movement effects from @video1
as well as the protagonist's facial expressions. When the protagonist is scared, use a Hitchcock zoom,
then several orbit shots to show the perspective inside the elevator. The elevator doors open, and a follow shot exits the elevator.
The scene outside the elevator references @image3. The man looks around, referencing @video1's robotic arm to follow the character's gaze from multiple angles.
```

### 3. Creative Templates / Special Effect Replication
Replicate transitions, advertising concepts, and visual effects:
```
Replace the character in @video1 with @image1. @image1 is the first frame. The character puts on virtual
sci-fi glasses. Reference @video1's camera movement, a close-up orbit shot, transitioning from a third-person perspective
to the character's subjective view, traveling through the AI virtual glasses to the deep
blue universe of @image2. Several spaceships appear and travel into the distance. The camera follows the spaceships to the
pixelated world of @image3. The camera flies low over the pixelated mountain and forest world, where trees
grow and appear. Then the perspective tilts up, rapidly traversing to the light green textured planet of @image4. The camera travels and skims over the planet's surface.
```

### 4. Video Extension
Extend an existing video backward:
```
Extend @video1 by 15 seconds.
1-5 seconds: Light filters through the blinds, slowly sliding across the wooden table and cup, branches sway gently with a breath-like motion.
6-10 seconds: A coffee bean gently falls from the top of the frame, the camera pushes in towards the coffee bean until the screen goes black.
11-15 seconds: The English text "Lucky Coffee" gradually appears on the first line, "Breakfast" on the second, and "AM 7:00-10:00" on the third.
```

**Note**: When extending videos, select the duration of the "newly added part" for the generation length (e.g., if extending by 5 seconds, choose 5 seconds for generation length).

Extend forward:
```
Extend forward by 10s. In the warm afternoon light, the camera begins from the awning of a row of shops on the street corner, gently lifted by the breeze,
slowly moves down to a few small daisies peeking out from the base of the wall...
```

### 5. Video Editing (Modifying Existing Videos)
Retain most of the original video content and modify specific elements:
```
Subvert the plot in @video1. The man's eyes instantly shift from gentle to cold and fierce.
At the moment Ruth is caught off guard, he violently pushes the female protagonist off the bridge and into the water. The action is swift and decisive, with a premeditated resolve, without any hesitation.
The moment the female protagonist falls into the water, there is no scream, only an incredulous look. She looks up and roars at the male protagonist: "You've been lying to me from the beginning!"
```

Character Replacement:
```
Replace the female singer in video1 with the male singer from image1. The actions should completely mimic the original video.
No cuts should appear. The band performs the music.
```

Element Addition:
```
Change the hairstyle of the woman in video1 to red long hair. A great white shark from image1 slowly emerges half its head, behind her.
```

### 6. Music Beat Syncing
Precisely synchronize visuals with audio rhythm:
```
The images in @image1, @image2, @image3, @image4, @image5, @image6, @image7
should sync with the keyframes and overall rhythm of the video in @video.
The characters in the visuals should have more dynamism, the overall visual style should be more dreamy, and the visual tension should be strong.
The shot size of the reference images can be changed, and visual light and shadow variations can be added, according to the music and visual requirements.
```

### 7. Dialogue and Voice Performance
Include character dialogue and voice guidance:
```
A segment of吐槽 (complaint/roast) dialogue in "Cat and Dog Complaint Corner," requiring rich emotion and suitable for stand-up comedy performance:
Meow酱 (Cat host, licking fur, rolling eyes): "Family, who understands? This one next to me, besides wagging his tail and tearing up the sofa every day, only knows how to use that 'I'm super good, please pet me' look to trick humans for snacks..."
Wangzai (Dog host, tilting head, wagging tail): "You dare talk about me? You sleep 18 hours a day, and when you wake up, you rub against humans' legs for canned food..."
```

### 8. One-Shot / Continuous Shot
A continuous, uncut long take:
```
@image1, @image2, @image3, @image4, @image5, a continuous tracking shot,
following a runner upstairs, through a corridor, into a rooftop, and finally overlooking the city.
```

One-shot with scene changes:
```
Spy thriller style. @image1 as the first frame. The camera frontally follows a female spy in a red trench coat walking forward. The camera is a full shot, continuously following. Passersby constantly obscure the red-clothed woman. Upon reaching a corner, referencing the corner building in @image2, the camera is fixed as the red-clothed woman leaves the frame and disappears around the corner. A girl wearing a mask hides at the corner and stares at her fiercely. The mask girl's appearance references @image3. The camera pans forward towards the red-clothed female spy as she enters a mansion and disappears. The mansion references @image4. No cuts throughout, one-shot.
```

### 9. E-commerce / Product Display
Product advertisement video:
```
Deconstruct the reference image. The camera remains static. A hamburger floats in mid-air and begins to rotate. The ingredients gently and precisely separate, maintaining their shape and proportion. The movement is fluid, without any additional effects. The hamburger splits into two sides, including the golden sesame-seeded top bun, fresh green lettuce leaves, fresh red tomato slices with water droplets, two layers of thick, juicy grilled beef patties with melted golden cheddar cheese, and the soft bottom bun. All slowly descend and perfectly assemble into a complete luxurious double cheeseburger.
```

360-degree product display:
```
The Coca-Cola beverage in image1 rotates at high speed for 2 full circles, then suddenly stops and splits into 3 parts for display. Subsequently, the three parts of the decomposed Coca-Cola can quickly rotate inward and reassemble into a complete can of Coca-Cola. 3D rendered product display effects, dynamic product effect display.
```

### 10. Science Popularization / Educational Content
Medical science popularization visualization:
```
A 15-second health science popularization short film.
0–5 seconds: A transparent blue human upper body. The camera slowly pushes into a clear artery, with smooth blood flow and a clean, bluish color.
5–10 seconds: Symbolic milk tea sugar and fat particles enter the bloodstream. The camera follows the blood flow, the blood gradually thickens, and pale yellow lipids begin to adhere to the inner walls of the blood vessels.
10–15 seconds: The inner lumen of the blood vessel is significantly narrowed, the flow rate decreases, and a "before vs. after" state difference is formed in the comparison screen. The overall color of the screen darkens.
```

### 11. AI Short Drama / Comic Adaptation
Comic or storyboard script interpretation:
```
Interpret @image1 in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order as a comic, maintaining the dialogue consistent with the image. Add special sound effects for scene transitions and key plot points. The overall style should be humorous and witty. The interpretation method should reference @video1.
```

Storyboard Generation:
```
Referencing the storyboard of the documentary in @image1, and referencing @image1's storyboard, shot size, camera movement, visuals, and copy, create a 15s healing-style opening for "Four Seasons of Childhood."
```

### 12. Video Fusion / Continuation
Seamlessly connect and merge multiple videos:
```
The horse composed of particles in video1 gradually materializes, the particles become denser, gradually transitioning to video2. The horse in video2 gradually transforms into video3 while running and then gradually dissipates. The visuals are beautiful, with background sounds of horse hooves and futuristic particle sound effects.
```

## Special Usage Tips

### Combination Play (No Limits, For Reference Only)
- **With first/last frame image + reference video action**: `@image1 as the first frame, referencing @video1's fight choreography`
- **Extend existing video**: `Extend @video1 by 5s` (also select 5s for generation length)
- **Fuse multiple videos**: `Add a scene between @video1 and @video2, with content xxx`
- **No audio material but want to reference sound**: Can directly reference sound from a video
- **Continuous action generation**: `Character transitions directly from jumping to rolling, maintaining smooth and continuous action` + `@image1 @image2 @image3...`

## Common Errors and Pitfalls

1. **Ambiguous Citation**: Don't just write "reference @video1"; specify what to reference (camera movement? action? effects? rhythm?).
2. **Conflicting Instructions**: Don't simultaneously request "fixed camera" and "orbit shot" in the same segment.
3. **Content Overload**: Don't cram too many scenes into 4-5 seconds; ensure physical feasibility.
4. **Unassigned Materials**: If you upload 5 images, each must have its purpose clearly labeled with @.
5. **Ignoring Audio**: Sound design can significantly improve output quality; always include audio guidance.
6. **Duration Mismatch**: The complexity of the prompt should match the selected generation duration.
7. **Realistic Faces**: Do not upload materials containing clear, recognizable human faces.
