What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to describe camera work for AI video generation with the Seedance 2.0 model. When you ask for a dolly, pan, handheld shot, crane move or similar, the agent picks one clear camera move, states its start, speed, subject relationship and endpoint, and writes it as a ready-to-use prompt sentence. It also avoids stacking conflicting moves and keeps camera direction consistent across continuation clips and reference videos.

Great for

  • Creators writing text or image-to-video prompts for Seedance 2.0 who want cinematic camera language
  • Filmmakers or hobbyists planning shot lists who need professional shot terms translated into prompt wording
  • Developers building prompt tools on SKILL.md-compatible agents who want consistent camera phrasing

Skip it if

  • People who only need general video editing or real camera operation, since this only shapes generation prompts and does not edit footage
  • Users who expect the output to guarantee a specific result, because the video model may not follow the wording exactly

Try asking

  • “Give me a slow push-in camera move for a character reading a letter, ending on a tight close-up”
  • “Write a locked macro shot prompt for a watch mechanism with the second hand ticking”
  • “Turn this storyboard note into a single camera phrase for a crane reveal of a city skyline”
  • “Keep the camera movement from @Video1 but do not copy the performer or room”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name one primary camera move per clip and list alternatives separately, since stacked moves like drone plus dolly plus handheld tend to conflict.
  • Describe the start frame, speed and endpoint explicitly, and tie the move to a visible subject action.
  • For complex camera motion, use a reference video with an instruction that it transfers camera rhythm only.
