seedance-camera · The One-Move Rule (v5.0)

This skill covers camera movement, framing, and multi-shot techniques for Seedance 2.0, centered on the most important principle for avoiding camera chaos: The One-Move Rule.

The One-Move Rule

For any single shot, specify only ONE primary camera move. Do not stack multiple moves (e.g., dolly push + pan left + tilt up). This is the most common cause of jitter, unwanted camera rotation, and failed generations.

1. The Camera Contract

Every shot should have a camera contract, but the Move parameter should only contain one item.

Framing:   [wide / medium / close-up / etc.]
Move:      [CHOOSE ONE: locked-off / dolly / pan / tilt / orbit / handheld / crane / tracking]
Speed:     [slow / moderate / fast / "over 8 seconds"]
Angle:     [eye level / low angle / high angle / etc.]

2. Genre-Based Camera Presets

Different genres have different camera languages. Use these presets as a starting point.

Genre	Recommended Moves	Avoid
Product/E-commerce	`orbit`, `slow push-in`, `static`	`handheld`, `whip pan`
Lifestyle/Social	`handheld`, `static`, `slow pan`	`crane`, `dolly zoom`
Drama/Narrative	`slow push-in`, `dolly pull-out`, `tracking`, `static`	`fast orbit`, `snap zoom`
Music Video	`whip pan`, `snap zoom`, `fast tracking`, `orbit`	`slow pan` (unless for effect)
Landscape/Travel	`slow aerial pullback`, `slow pan`, `static wide`	`handheld`, `fast moves`
Commercial/Brand	`tracking`, `crane up`, `slow push-in`	`shaky handheld`
Anime/Artistic	`dynamic low-angle`, `fast push-in`, `whip pan`	`subtle, slow moves`

3. Reliable Phrasing Library (The One-Move Edition)

Use these phrases to ensure clarity.

locked-off static camera, no movement
slow dolly push from medium shot to tight close-up over 8 seconds
slow dolly pull back revealing the full environment
slow pan left revealing [new element]
slow tilt up from [foreground] to [sky]
slow orbit left around the subject, constant distance
handheld tracking following the subject, subtle shake, not chaotic
crane shot rising from ground level to overhead

4. Advanced Techniques (Use with Caution)

These techniques can break the One-Move Rule but are powerful when used correctly.

Multi-Shot Within One Clip: Use [Cut to:] to create a sequence of shots. Each shot in the sequence should still follow the One-Move Rule.
- [Shot 1: Wide, static] Description. [Cut to: Close-up, slow push-in] Description.
One-Take Technique (一镜到底): Use a sequence of reference images (@Image1 @Image2 @Image3) to define a continuous camera path. The prompt should describe the journey, not individual moves.
- @Image1 @Image2 @Image3, one continuous tracking shot, following the runner from the street, up the stairs, and onto the rooftop.
Camera Transfer: Use @Video1 to copy the camera work from a reference clip. This is the safest way to achieve complex camera motion.
- Match the camera movement and editing from @Video1.
