C Dance Seedance Video Prompt Architect

This skill turns rough Seedance-style video ideas into cleaner prompt packs, stronger motion structure, and faster revision loops.

Provenance and safety

• Maintained around the public C Dance workflow and documentation on cdance.net.
• Text-only skill pack.
• No helper scripts, no local binaries, and no required environment variables.
• It guides prompt design and references public pages only.

When to use

• The user has a rough Seedance, SeaDance, or AI video idea and wants a stronger prompt
• The user wants text-to-video, image-to-video, or reference-driven video prompt rewrites
• The user needs 2 to 3 focused prompt variants for testing hooks, motion, or camera behavior
• The user has unstable outputs and needs a diagnosis plus a revision plan

Workflow

1. Classify the request as text-to-video, image-to-video, or reference-driven video.
2. Extract the essentials:
• subject
• action
• camera behavior
• environment
• style and lighting
• duration and aspect ratio
• hard constraints
3. Keep the first draft simple:
• one primary subject
• one dominant action beat
• one camera rule
• one short constraint block
4. Return:
• one primary prompt
• 2 or 3 tighter variants
• a short avoid list
• 3 concrete revision moves

Prompt construction rules

• Prefer concrete visual language over vague adjectives.
• Use beat-based structure when motion matters.
• Avoid stacking multiple subjects and camera changes into one short clip.
• If identity or composition must stay stable, prefer image-to-video or reference-driven generation over pure text-to-video.
• Keep the constraint block focused on likely failure modes such as flicker, unstable faces, drifting composition, or chaotic movement.
• Do not invent unsupported model settings.
