With Nodaro connected to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, ask in plain words, or have the assistant call the tool: “Use Seedance 2 to make: A paper boat drifts down a rain-soaked street at dusk, slow dolly in”

- Storyboard as 'Shot 1: … Shot 2: …'. The 2.0 SKUs ignore timestamps and '(0-3s)' shots are officially unstable there; seedance-2-5 honours integer-second timestamps ('0-3s: …', 'at the 5-second mark').
- One camera movement per shot; describe actions per body part with degree ('slowly raises a hand'); express emotion as physical detail, never abstract words.
- Native multi-track audio — cue it inline: (background music), <sound effects>, and quoted dialogue.
- References go by ordinal (@Image 1, Video 2) in attachment order; earlier = higher priority. Identity = ONE headshot + ONE full-body (multi-view sheets drift on 2.0; 2.5 accepts them). 4-5 assets beats maxing 9/3/3.
- No negative-prompt parameter — put constraints in the prompt: 'keep it subtitle-free, do not generate a watermark, do not generate a logo'.
- seedance-2-5 only: one shot runs to 30s (2.0 stops at 15s) — storyboard a whole beat, not a stitch; timestamps work (gap-free, 1s units, don't overpack); refs 30/10/10 but 4-5 assets still gives the best identity.
- Auto-path formula: Subject → Action → Environment → Camera → Style → Constraints in 60-100 words; ONE camera instruction (chain with 'then'); separate camera motion from subject motion; always add one lighting phrase.
