Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
This video tutorial showcases 10+ Seedance/Cedance 2.5 prompts for generating AI videos, with practical ideas for:
- Social media ads
- Pranks
- Character transformations
- Cinematic reels
- Reference-guided camera movements
The creator also shares that all prompts can be tried through a free school/community, and recommends (and sponsors) a tool/site spelled inconsistently as “Hickfield” for accessing Cedance 2.5.
Key prompt ideas, features, and techniques
1) “Time freeze” effect prompt
- Uses a character sheet / image reference tagged in the prompt.
- Suggested prompt structure:
- Image reference → character description → customizable scene description → visual style (kept mostly constant) → camera notes → action
- Tutorial flow:
- Go to Create Video
- Upload the reference image
- Insert the prompt
- Choose duration
- Generate
- Credits optimization tip:
- For short-form (IG Reels / YouTube Shorts / TikTok), use 720p to save credits while keeping quality looking good.
2) UGC product ad prompt (simple; character optional)
- Upload only a product image reference; the model generates characters if needed.
- Produces a continuous “long take” vlog-style UGC ad.
- Optional upgrade:
- Add a character reference workflow if you want more character control.
3) Ad “multiplier” / variations using an ads tool (MCP integration)
- References an ads multiplication feature connected to Cloth/Cedance via “MCP.”
- Workflow:
- Generate/upload a top-performing ad
- Request “multiply” to create new variations automatically
- Optionally change the character for new ad versions
4) “Paparazzi / famous” videos (self + controllable crowd/escape vehicle)
- Uses a self image reference.
- Prompt controls include:
- Where the paparazzi pick you up
- What the crowd says
- What car you drive away in
5) Desk prank: “setup destroyed” cinematic 10-second smartphone video
- Uses a desk/setup image reference as the base.
- Example concept:
- An elderly woman pours soapy water over the desk, destroying it
- Iteration note:
- Regenerated outputs may include incorrect props (unexpected objects), requiring additional regeneration.
6) AI influencer vlog (recurring character)
- Best if you define a distinct AI persona with recognizable style.
- Prompt structure emphasizes:
- Handheld early-2000s filming look
- Vlog personality + character description (optional image)
- Day + location
- Shot-by-shot pacing with multiple “shots” and dialogue segments
- Runtime guidance:
- Use fast cuts
- Stay around ~30 seconds, with only a few seconds per segment
7) Character transformation (zombie / superhero / werewolf, etc.)
- Uses a long prompt describing transformation beats, including:
- Setting + actions (run → stop → stumble → rapid chest rise/breathing)
- Police commands/dialogue (e.g., “infected… stay down…”)
- Transformation mechanics (spasms, horror-like progression, gradually becoming another form)
- Workflow:
- Copy a structure and swap the transformation target (e.g., Hulk, Venom)
- Cost-control tip:
- Review the prompt before generating to avoid unwanted outcomes and extra cost.
8) Flying trend: riding a giant creature (eagle / dragon)
- Uses multiple references (character sheet + character variations).
- Prompt includes:
- Intro/camera transition
- Acceleration
- Leap/midair motion across scenes
- Encourages swapping the rider creature (eagle → dragon, etc.).
9) Game-character style intro using image → video
- Character intro still/image stage uses Cream 5.0 Pro, then converts to video with Cedance 2.5.
- Key prompt details:
- The character name must be spelled precisely (the model may misread)
- Length control (example: ~20 seconds)
- Constraints / “what not to do” to prevent unwanted narrative/style drift
- Emphasis on typography/story direction
- Optional variations via Cloth generation
- Suggestion:
- Use no audio to keep focus on character movement.
10) Fight scene prompt (self + any opponent character)
- The opponent can be any imagined character.
- Mentions variations for:
- Who wins
- How dramatic the fight is
11) POV cooking “AI chef” prompt
- Uses first-person camera POV.
- Works like a recipe execution script (e.g., meatballs/pasta steps → boiling water → cooking → removing pasta).
- Positioning:
- Not replacing real cooking—aimed at fun recipe/social content.
12) CCTV footage prompt for pranks
- Camera setup:
- High mounted corner view
- Gas station / convenience store setting
- Prompt includes:
- Timestamps describing what happens in sequence
- Realism enhancements like grain
- Optional:
- Insert the self character using a character sheet/reference.
13) Turn real footage into a surreal AI video (acting + portals/dimensions)
- Workflow:
- Record real video with acting
- Use AI prompts to replace/augment segments
- Example concept:
- A door opens into another dimension with a dinosaur and slime, followed by a second door that opens into a new environment
- Core idea:
- Combine two “assets”/scene placeholders with the real acting.
14) Holiday/photo-to-cinematic travel vlog
- Uses multiple holiday images.
- Creates a single continuous ~20-second cinematic travel vlog.
- Voice matching:
- Uses a voice reference from the creator’s recorded voiceover to match accent.
- Requires planning:
- What to narrate per image (scene-by-scene scripting)
