How to prompt Seedream 5.0 Pro

Write the treatment in order: subject, wardrobe, light source and direction, lens, colour grade. Then pick the aspect ratio and size.
With several references, give each a role in the prompt. Photos you don't name get blended into a compromise.
There's no seed, so keep the prompt with any image you like; you won't get the exact same frame twice.

Settings worth knowing

Everything else has a sensible default, so you can type a prompt and go.
