Timed beats in AI video prompts: the 0-4s / 4-7s / 7-11s pacing trick

A practitioner shares how they use SEEDANCE 2.5 to generate realistic late-night gym vlogs, with the key trick of embedding second-by-second timeline beats into the prompt: 0-4s enter, 4-7s settle, 7-11s warmup, then the actual content.

They argue most AI video prompts just describe a scene and hope the model paces itself, while timed beats keep a 30s short readable from hook to reveal. The original post includes the full character sheet and DV-camcorder, non-cinematic style description.
