Paste-ready Seedance prompt for the Banana Tree Run trend

Updated:

Short answer

Open Seedance, load your photo as the reference image and paste the text below. It sets the side-on sprint, the big leaps and a final stretch at full speed, over an upbeat backing with no voices. Several attempts are normal, and Tip Toe AI does the same job without any prompt.

The prompt

Image-to-video, vertical 9:16, 11 seconds, one unbroken side-on tracking shot, planned beat by beat.
RUNNER: reference image 1, adult or pet. Face, hair or fur, skin tone, build and clothes taken from the image. A pet bounds on four legs.
Scene: hillside banana plantation, overcast, tall leafy plants in rows, red-earth path below. Nothing readable.
Camera: side-on tracking, left to right, at the RUNNER's height and speed, full body, one take.
0-2 s: sprint across the leaf tops with long, light strides.
2-6 s: big leap, legs wide, soft landing on a leaf tip, then a high flying stride with the knee up and quick steps.
6-8 s: long airborne jump over a gap, dirt path far below.
8-11 s: full-speed sprinting and leaping, no fall, camera still alongside.
Audio: bouncy upbeat instrumental, wind, rustling leaves, no singing, no lyrics, no human voice.
Photoreal, natural colour. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.

Using it well

  • Load your photo as reference image 1; choose an adult or a pet, never a child.
  • The trending sound goes on afterwards in TikTok. Text cannot place every beat exactly, so plan to slide the sound slightly.
  • No names, sound titles or brands in the text. Some tools filter them, so the text describes the action.
  • Seedance handles timed beats well, and a motion reference clip of your own can go in as the reference video.

Questions people ask

Does the text name a song or a creator?

Neither. It asks for an instrumental track and nothing else, and you add the trending sound inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.

Will Seedance reproduce the trend exactly?

Seldom exactly. Faces, motion and timing depend on the tool, its current model and the photo, so use this as a starting draft.

Is there a prompt box on this site?

No. Tip Toe AI uses a fixed Banana Tree Run scene: you give it a photo, pick the options and press make.

Run the banana leaves with your own photo

One picture puts you, a friend or a pet on the leaf tops. No watermark on the full video, and nothing to subscribe to.
