As AI video generation moves from demo reels to paid media, “looks good” is no longer the bar — what matters is whether the creative drives clicks and purchases.
With Seedance 2.0 on KreadoAI, ad production shifts from one-off creative inspiration to structured, repeatable workflows. This guide gives you a practical framework for writing prompts that actually perform in e-commerce and performance marketing.
1. Core Principles: Design for Conversion
Ads are not art projects. Their job is to move people toward a purchase. Every prompt should support three priorities:
Emphasize Material and Detail
Trust starts with believable product visuals. Call out physical attributes — fabric weave, metal finish, edge craftsmanship, surface texture — so the product feels tangible, not synthetic.
Maximize Visual Impact
You have seconds, not minutes. The frame should:
- Put the product front and center immediately
- Communicate the core selling point fast
- Maintain a clear visual focal point
Lead with product-in-use moments or the feature that closes the sale.
Make Storytelling Serve the Sale
Narrative in ad creative exists to support conversion, not cinematic ambition. Proven patterns include:
- Before-and-after transformation
- Scene upgrade or lifestyle shift
- Amplified post-use value
2. Engineered Prompt Structure
On KreadoAI, strong prompts are structured briefs — not one-line descriptions.
Standard components:
Subject + Action + Scene + Style + Camera + Audio (optional) + Constraints
Recommended writing order:
- Define the product and what it does on screen
- Set environment and mood
- Specify shot type and camera movement
- Add quality tags and hard limits
3. Build Ad Scripts on a Timeline
Weak prompt: “A stylish smartphone displayed in a techy environment — looks cool.”
Strong prompt (10-second consumer electronics spot):
- Shot 1: Extreme close-up, macro lens. A beam of light slowly sweeps across the phone’s brushed-metal surface, revealing fine texture.
- Shot 2: Slow orbit. The phone rotates on a dark, minimal background, showing its slim profile and camera module. Smooth, seamless transition.
- Shot 3: Hero shot. The phone rests on a stand; the screen lights up with a vibrant [brand] graphic. The logo appears with a soft glow.
Timeline beats give the model a clear arc — and give you a creative you can QA shot by shot.
4. Multi-Reference Workflow
Seedance 2.0 supports multiple reference inputs, which dramatically improves consistency across generations.
Lock Key Elements with @ Syntax
Use @ references to assign each asset a specific role.
Lock product SKU and appearance with @image
- Best practice: Use one clean, high-resolution product photo.
- Example:
...@image1 is the hero product. Keep the phone’s color, shape, and branding identical to @image1 throughout the entire video...
Lock scene mood with @image
- Use case: Lifestyle photos, interior shots, or abstract gradient backgrounds.
- Example:
...Overall scene mood, color palette, and soft diffused lighting should follow @image2...
Replicate camera motion with @video
- Best practice: Use a short clip (4–15 seconds) that clearly shows the camera path — smooth push-in, elegant orbit, etc.
- Example:
...Camera movement should replicate the smooth orbit in @video1. Do not copy the subject from @video1...
Typical Multi-Reference Combinations by Category
| Category | Recommended references | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Beauty / cosmetics | Product SKU image + lifestyle/mood image + texture/effect video | Locks packaging, sets aspirational tone, shows product texture (e.g., rotating cream swirl). |
| Consumer electronics | Multi-angle product shots + abstract tech background + camera-motion reference | Preserves SKU accuracy, adds futuristic feel, mirrors premium tech-ad dynamics. |
| Apparel / fashion | Model wearing the item + location/scene image + slow-motion fabric video | Locks fit and styling, sets context (e.g., city street), highlights fabric movement. |
| Food / beverage | Finished product shot + ingredient close-up + liquid/steam effect video | Keeps the dish appetizing, emphasizes freshness, boosts crave appeal. |
5. Camera Language Reference
| Dimension | Keywords | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Shot size | Long shot, full shot / medium shot, close-up | Full shots work for openings and transitions; close-ups sell emotion and detail. |
| Angle | High-angle, top-down / low-angle, side view | Top-down for “flat lay” product moments; low-angle for premium or authoritative feel. |
| Composition | Center, rule of thirds, symmetrical | Leading lines guide the eye; foreground/subject/background add depth. |
| Camera movement | Dolly in/out, pan, tilt, tracking, orbit | Key rule: go slow. Smooth, deliberate motion is the most stable. |
| Light and color | Soft light, side light, golden hour, cyberpunk | Lighting sets mood; color grade defines emotional tone. |
6. Worked Example: Consumer Electronics Ad
Reference setup:
@image1: Front view of the product@image2: Side or angled view@video1: Reference clip with fast, smooth push-in or rotation
Prompt body:
Reference the product design in @image1 and @image2. Environment: dark, minimal studio with a single spotlight. Camera movement should be fast, precise, and energetic — following the trajectory in @video1.
- 0–3s: Product emerges from shadow. A sharp light rake crosses its edge. Dramatic low-angle close-up.
- 3–7s: Fast 360° orbit reveals the full design, from front (
@image1) to side profile (@image2). Motion stays perfectly smooth. - 7–10s: Screen lights up with futuristic UI graphics. Camera pushes quickly toward the display, ending on a hero shot of the glowing device.
Constraint tags: cinematic, ultra-high detail, metallic texture, sharp focus, no glare, stable motion, high-speed camera look, professional commercial ad.
7. Universal Prompt Template
Use the product reference as the core prototype. The product should render with high-detail texture; motion should feel fluid and natural.
Scene: modern minimal style with cinematic lighting — rim light and spatial depth. Lead with close-ups and slow push-ins; background softly blurred.
Pacing: smooth rhythm, natural transitions. Highlight product quality and use value to build trust.
Format: vertical short-video ratio. Keep product shape and color consistent — no distortion.
Quality floor: no flicker, blur, warping, noise, or text errors. Output high resolution.
8. Pre-Generation Checklist
Before you hit generate, confirm:
- Timeline structure is included
- Product reference image is attached
- Quality requirements are explicit
- Stability constraints are listed (no flicker, warp, etc.)
- Detail and on-screen text clarity are emphasized
