Seedance parses structured prompts best: subject → action → camera → lighting → style, in short comma-separated blocks. Set duration, resolution and aspect ratio in the UI — keep the prompt about the shot. Copy any prompt below and adapt the bolded ideas to your scene.

Yes — the prompt format is the same whether you use Seedance via Dreamina's UI or the API. Set duration, resolution and aspect ratio as parameters, not in the prompt text.
Yes, briefly — one clear camera instruction per shot ("slow dolly in", "orbit around subject") works better than stacking several movements.
