The Master Guide / 07 Video with Seedance · Writing the prompt

Slow motion and speed ramps

Design slow motion inside the shot; write everything else as real time, because Seedance drifts toward slow motion.

Design slow motion inside the shot; write everything else as real time, because Seedance drifts toward slow motion.

Slow motion and ramps [official guidance]:

  • Slow motion is captured fast and shown at 24 fps, with the camera move written in screen time.

  • Everything else says real time, no ramps. A key action move excludes slow motion by name.

  • The two never share a shot. OUTPUT SETTINGS pins the mode per segment.

  • A ramp in the take [best available, not yet validated]: lock the base take first, then one sentence at a named beat, with a cut-list ramp as fallback. Never inside lip-synced speech. Slowing generated footage far below real time in the edit is likely to judder.

  • Food and impacts: only the moment of impact goes slow, as its own shot.
