Cover a voice-over
Landscapes, weather and city shots work well between talking segments because nothing needs to match a real person or place exactly.

What this template is good for
Build a mood reel
Generate several shots with the same colour and light words so they sit together when cut in sequence.
Open a video
A wide 21:9 shot gives an opening a film feel. Choose 16:9 if the video will play full screen on YouTube.
How to adapt the prompt
Name the shot
Terms such as aerial shot, slow dolly, tracking shot and static wide shot give the model a clear camera instruction.
Set time of day and weather
Golden hour, overcast light, blue hour and low fog have a larger effect on the look than the word cinematic does.
Say what to leave out
Adding no people and no text helps keep the shot clean, which makes it easier to reuse.
Cinematic B-roll template FAQ
What resolution do I need for YouTube?
Free videos are 480p, which is good for testing an idea. For a real edit, use 1080p with credits. A 10-second 1080p clip on Seedance 1.0 Pro Fast costs 80 credits.
Can I get the same style across several shots?
Keep the same light, colour and lens words in each prompt. Results will still vary between generations, so plan for a few extra attempts.
Do the shots have sound?
Not by default. B-roll usually sits under narration or music. Turn on Sound to add generated ambience with Seedance 2.0 Mini, available up to 720p.
