Seedance ignores the camera move: how to fix it

You asked for a push-in or tracking shot and got a different move, a static shot or a jittery drift.

Why it happens

• Two or more camera moves in one beat (for example a push-in and an orbit).
• Too many camera setups for the clip length.
• The move is buried late in a long prompt.

Fixes, in order

1. Give each timed beat one camera move, with its direction and speed.

   “Use only one primary camera movement per storyboard segment.”— imastudio, 2026-08-11

2. Budget setups by length: one generation is one shot of about 5 to 10 seconds. A 10-second clip has room for one or two setups, not four.

   “Stacked camera moves Jitter, drift, mid-clip direction changes”— heyuan110.com, 2026-07-11

3. Put extra moves in their own clips, or mark a deliberate cut.
