Seedance 2.0 Character Consistency Guide

Character drift in AI video systems is a common problem because diffusion-based models generate frames sequentially. Without clear conditioning signals, small variations gradually accumulate, making a character look different over time. Weak temporal anchoring and ambiguous prompts contribute to this issue, as do poorly chosen reference inputs that confuse the model about which visual elements to prioritize.

Seedance 2.0 Prompt Crafting Guide: Motion-First Strategies That Work

In Seedance 2.0 video generation, more text isn’t always better. Extremely long prompts often dilute important motion cues because the model’s internal attention spreads across too many instructions. When prompts exceed around 100–150 words, kinetic details like precise movement and camera actions tend to be de-prioritized in favor of static description, which can lead to jittery or inconsistent animation. Shorter, tightly structured prompts (roughly 30–100 words) generally produce smoother and more intentional motion by centering on action rather than verbose scene painting.
