How to prompt Seedream Pro

Write it like an art-director brief: visual goal, composition, hierarchy, copy/text constraints, materials, and lighting.

Tip: resolution + aspect ratio are set in the UI — your prompt controls subject, composition, lighting, style, and mood.

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

Quick = variations. Use for fast iteration.

Template (copy/paste)

[Style] + [Subject] + [Setting] + [Lighting] + [Mood / palette]

Structured prompt (best for reliable results)

Separate information so the model can follow it consistently.

Structured = consistency. Use when you need reliable results.

Template (copy/paste)

Subject:
[Who/what + 1 clear action or pose.]

Setting:
[Where + time of day + 2–3 visual anchors.]

Composition:
- Framing: [wide / medium / close-up]
- Angle: [eye-level / low / high]
- Lens feel: [e.g., 35mm natural, shallow DOF]

Lighting + palette:
[Key light + 2–3 palette anchors]

Style constraints:
No logos. No readable text. Clean background.

Pro prompt (ultra-specific "studio brief")

Use this when you need a very specific look or continuity across shots.

Pro = continuity. Use for precise, repeatable looks.

Template (copy/paste)

Project / intent:
[One-line goal for the still.]

Subject:
[Who/what + wardrobe/materials + 2–3 distinctive traits.]

Location / set:
[Where + time of day + weather. Add 3 visual anchors.]

Composition:
- Framing + angle
- Lens feel + depth of field
- Look: [clean digital / subtle film grain / soft bloom]

Lighting & grade:
- Key light
- Contrast
- Palette anchors (3–5)

Constraints:
No logos. No readable text. No overlays.

Tips & Limitations

What works best

Use for infographics, text-heavy visuals, and complex layouts.

Hard limits to keep in mind

Still images only.
One generated image per request.
Use Seedream Lite for batch image sets.
Seedance still evaluates any image before video generation.

Safety and likeness

No sexual content or content involving minors.
No hateful, harassing, or graphic-violence requests.
Do not impersonate real people or public figures without consent.
