Fixed camera

Settings1 min read

Normally the model moves the camera on its own: pushing in, orbiting, drifting. Turn on the fixed camera and the shot behaves like it is on a tripod: the camera stays put, only the subjects move.

Try it on: Seedance 1.5 Pro · Seedance V1 Pro

The "Fixed camera" setting in the panel under the gear

  1. A toggle. Off by default — the camera moves on its own.

Off by default.

When to turn it on

  • A product on a table — the product turns, not the room around it.
  • A talking head — the person speaks, the camera does not dance.
  • Interiors, signs, shop windows — you need a steady, even frame.
  • You will cut it with other shots, and extra movement fights the edit.

When to leave it off

  • You want a cinematic push-in or orbit.
  • The scene is dynamic: a chase, sport, dance.

Where to find it

Under Advanced settings. Available on Seedance 1.5 Pro and Seedance V1 Pro.

Tip

Camera movement can also be described in words in the prompt: "slow push-in", "orbit around the subject". In that case leave the checkbox alone — otherwise the setting says "hold still" while the text says "move".
