What settings does the "Explainer: screen to face" prompt need?

Seedance 2.5 at 1080p, 10 seconds, 16:9. That combination costs 2,397 credits — about $23.97 — and the studio shows the figure again before you commit.

Can I change the prompt?

Yes — it is a starting point, not a recipe. Change the subject and keep the structure: shot type, camera move, lighting, lens, then audio. That order is what these models read most reliably.

Explainer: screen to face

A presenter turning from a screen to camera — the opening beat of most explainer and course videos.

The prompt

A man in his thirties sits at a desk studying a large monitor, its light on his face. He turns to camera and begins speaking, expression open and unhurried. Soft key light from a window camera-left, practical desk lamp warm in the background, office softly out of focus behind him. 35mm lens, chest-up framing, static camera. Clear close speech in English with matching lip movement, quiet room tone.

Why it is written this way

A static camera is right here. Movement competes with a talking head instead of supporting it.
Ask for lip movement explicitly if the model supports synced dialogue — otherwise mouths tend to drift out of step.
Give the turn a motivation. "Studying a monitor, then turns" produces a natural pivot; "looks at camera" produces a stare.
