PromptEN487 characters
The camera does not move. The frozen wave holds for a beat, then the droplets hanging over the salt flat lift and rise upward past her, the fish inside the wall of water start swimming again, and the vast crest slowly curls over and begins to fall toward her in enormous slow motion, sunlight shifting through the turquoise water as it moves. Her dress and hair stream upward against gravity. Locked-off wide shot, no camera move, huge slow-motion scale, rising wind and a deep low roar.Written in English, exactly as we sent it.

Why this prompt works
The reverse test: the camera never moves, the spectacle does. The still supplies a wall of water hundreds of metres high, frozen mid-break, with the shoals inside it stopped as well; the prompt only lets the crest start to fall and the droplets rise against gravity. If you want to catch a model sneaking in a push-in, this is the easy one to read — nothing but the water should be moving.
Settings used
| Setting | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| resolution | 720p | 480p, 720p or 1080p, default 720p, and it feeds the billed quantity directly. Note that the output tier is independent of the source still: a soft low-resolution frame rendered at 1080p is just enlarged softness. The tier you pick is the render tier, with no upscaling or enhancement layered on top. |
| aspect_ratio | adaptive | Only `adaptive` is accepted here: Seedance 2.5 always frames an image-to-video clip on the geometry of the opening frame, and a fixed shape would make the task fail. If the delivery format is fixed, crop or pad the still to it before you send it. No effect on billing. |
| generate_audio | true | On by default. Produces a native soundtrack synchronized to the picture — room tone, movement effects, voice. Turn it off for product pieces that will be scored in post; leave it on when footsteps and ambience are part of the point. |
| duration_seconds | 5 | 4 to 30 seconds, default 5. The longer a frame-driven shot runs, the more it drifts — anatomy and set dressing deform gradually. Confirm the direction of the motion at 5 seconds, then extend. For genuinely long sequences, several shorter takes cut together usually hold better than one 30-second take. Length scales the billed quantity linearly. |
