This page is generated from a published record with sourceKind=holycrab_prompt_recipe, rightsStatus=owned, and curationStatus=published.

Publication and release gate

  • Curation gate: this page can stay public only while curationStatus is published.
  • Rights gate: source rights must be known, non-blocked, and attribution must remain visible.
  • Discovery gate: public HTML, Markdown, llms.txt, sitemap, and search-index entries are generated only from published records.
  • First-party prompt policy: HolyCrab authored this prompt recipe; it is not copied from a third-party prompt library, campaign, or creator source.
  • Commercial safety policy: use owned, licensed, partner-provided, or fictional assets and avoid unauthorized logos, packaging, trademarks, campaigns, likenesses, music, choreography, and endorsements.
  • Cost transparency policy: track duration, input type, reference complexity, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.

Prompt reuse checklist

  • Start from a prompt category that matches the job: product ad, UGC ad, ecommerce, vertical hook, cinematic shot, image-to-video, audio-video, or character consistency.
  • Use owned or authorized references and state exactly what each reference controls.
  • Keep the first Seedance test to one subject, one motion, one camera path, and one final payoff.
  • Record duration, aspect ratio, input type, audio, retry count, output result, review outcome, and cost per approved clip.

Reusable pattern
Mode: image-to-video with owned or authorized reference image. State exactly what [Image1] controls and what motion is allowed. Create an 8 second image-to-video prompt: owned building photo with no visible signage. 0-2s: sunlight travels across the facade; 2-5s: window reflections brighten and settle; 5-8s: building geometry and perspective preserved. Camera: slow upward tilt. Final frame: building geometry and perspective preserved. Constraints: No unauthorized likeness transfer, protected character, brand copying, or reference details outside the stated role.
Rewrite rule
Replace subject, setting, reference role, camera path, final payoff, and cost assumptions with the user's owned or authorized material.
