Seedance 2.5 Camera Prompts
Camera direction works best when it is tied to the subject action. One motivated move is usually easier to control than stacking several unrelated camera commands into a short clip.
How GenVideoKit structures Seedance 2.5 prompts
Keep the prompt visually dense but efficient. Prioritize readable action sequencing, shot progression, rhythm, reference continuity and a clear visual payoff. State subject motion, camera behavior and timing without unnecessary cinematic filler.

Production shortcut
Use one dominant camera move per short shot. Tie the move to subject action and describe the desired end composition.

$0.3 / second Tracking
Use concise timed beats. Keep the subject at a consistent scale while the camera tracks parallel to the movement. Avoid sudden orbiting or reframing.
Push-in
Use concise timed beats. Begin from a stable medium composition and make one slow push-in while the subject action remains readable.
Pull-back
Use concise timed beats. Start close enough to establish the subject, then pull back smoothly to reveal more environment without changing screen direction.
Orbit
Use concise timed beats. Use one restrained partial orbit around the subject while preserving body geometry, horizon stability and lighting direction.
Avoid stacking several independent moves such as “dolly in + orbit + crane + zoom” in one short shot unless the model and duration genuinely support that choreography.
