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:
    1. Go to Create Video
    2. Upload the reference image
    3. Insert the prompt
    4. Choose duration
    5. 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:
    1. Generate/upload a top-performing ad
    2. Request “multiply” to create new variations automatically
    3. 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:
    1. Record real video with acting
    2. 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)
