Which camera keywords work in Seedance?
dolly in/out, pan, orbit, push-in, crane up, handheld, tracking shot, and whip pan all help direct the camera.
How do I keep characters consistent across prompts?
Attach the same reference image, reuse style anchors, and add identity constraints so faces and outfits stay stable.
How do I reduce flicker and artifacts?
Use explicit motion constraints, avoid over-packed scenes, and pin lighting — fewer rapid changes means cleaner output.
Can prompts drive multi-shot videos?
Yes. Use timeline prompting with timestamps to give each shot its own action and camera direction.
