Citation summary: A Seedance prompt pattern for transformations where the first frame and final frame need to stay exact. ## Source Class Official-source page: Paraphrases BytePlus or paper material with visible source attribution before turning it into HolyCrab prompts. ## Direct Answer This Seedance 2.0 example turns an official-source prompt pattern into a reusable brief with reference role, camera instruction, and HolyCrab test path. ## Source Attribution - ByteDance Seed official Seedance 2.0 model page: https://seed.bytedance.com/en/seedance2_0 - Seedance 2.0: Advancing Video Generation for World Complexity: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.14148 ## 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. - Official-source policy: paraphrase BytePlus or paper material and cite the original source. ## Prompt Reuse Checklist - Name the exact input type: text, image, audio, video, first frame, or final frame. - State what each reference controls so the model does not blend competing instructions. - Use one camera move, one main action, and one final-frame payoff. - Test the smallest version in HolyCrab before expanding the shot. ## Prompt Utility - Evidence status: official-source paraphrase - Confidence: official - Reusable pattern: Start on a sketch of a glass house in a notebook. Over 10 seconds, the camera moves through the drawing as it becomes a real house at sunset. End on the completed glass house matching the final reference frame. - Rewrite rule: Keep the capability structure, then replace subject, reference role, camera, action, and final-frame payoff. - Source evidence: Official paper describes multimodal reference and editing capabilities; HolyCrab uses this as a source-attributed prompt pattern. - HolyCrab next step: Test the smallest official-style Seedance prompt in HolyCrab before adding more reference inputs. ## Prompt brief Start on a sketch of a glass house in a notebook. Over 10 seconds, the camera moves through the drawing as it becomes a real house at sunset. End on the completed glass house matching the final reference frame. ## Prompt library category This Seedance 2.0 prompt detail belongs to the Seedance 2.0 Image to Video Prompts category and is mirrored from the deeper HolyCrab Seedance playbook so searchers and AI answer engines can discover it inside the main prompt-library tree. ## How to use this prompt - Copy the HolyCrab prompt handoff instead of copying any third-party prompt library text. - Replace subject, setting, reference roles, camera path, duration, and final payoff with owned or authorized material. - Run the shortest Seedance test that proves the motion, then compare the result against the approval criteria on this page. - Generate variants only after the first approved clip has a stable final frame and a recorded retry count. ## Prompt metadata - Model: Seedance 2.0. - Prompt category: Seedance 2.0 Image to Video Prompts. - Input type: image-to-video or reference-to-video. - Recommended first test: 10 seconds. - Aspect ratio: match the source reference or campaign placement. - Difficulty: medium. - Prompt confidence: high. - Page kind: official_example. - Rights status: embed_only; curation status: published. ## Cost and retry profile Run one 4-8 second draft first, then budget 2-4 focused retries before scaling variants. Approve only after reference identity, allowed motion, camera move, and final frame match the brief. ## Success criteria - The reference role is explicit and limited. - Only authorized identity, product, or composition details transfer. - Motion and camera changes do not break the reference identity. ## Structured rewrite map - Subject: replace with an owned product, original character, original performer, or authorized source. - Motion: keep one visible action before adding secondary motion. - Camera: use one camera path and one final endpoint. - References: state exactly what each image, video, or audio input controls. - Final payoff: define the last frame before running the prompt. - Cost gate: Run one 4-8 second draft first, then budget 2-4 focused retries before scaling variants. Approve only after reference identity, allowed motion, camera move, and final frame match the brief. ## Source note Official paper describes multimodal reference and editing capabilities; HolyCrab uses this as a source-attributed prompt pattern. ## Safety and rights checklist - Use owned, licensed, partner-provided, fictional, or source-authorized material. - Keep reference roles narrow and avoid transferring unauthorized likeness, brand assets, songs, choreography, campaign layouts, watermarks, or claims. ## Failure modes - Long prompts can blur the primary motion. - Competing references can make identity, camera, or timing unstable. - Commercial reuse needs a rights and claims check before scaling variants. ## Negative prompt guardrails - No copied third-party prompt text, campaign layout, protected character, celebrity likeness, private-person likeness, watermark, subtitle, logo, or unauthorized brand asset. - No protected song, lyric, voice, choreography, or sonic branding unless rights are documented. - Use owned, licensed, partner-provided, fictional, or source-authorized material. - Keep reference roles narrow and avoid transferring unauthorized likeness, brand assets, songs, choreography, campaign layouts, watermarks, or claims. - Long prompts can blur the primary motion. - Competing references can make identity, camera, or timing unstable. ## HolyCrab handoff Copy the prompt structure, replace the subject, references, camera, scene, claim, and final payoff with owned or authorized material, then run one short HolyCrab Seedance test before generating variants. ## HolyCrab Handoff 1. Start with the source-attributed Seedance capability or example brief. 2. Name each input type and what it should control. 3. Write one camera path and one final-frame payoff. 4. Generate a short HolyCrab test, then revise only the weakest prompt variable. ## HolyCrab Handoff Prompt ```text Start on a sketch of a glass house in a notebook. Over 10 seconds, the camera moves through the drawing as it becomes a real house at sunset. End on the completed glass house matching the final reference frame. ``` ## Related Seedance Pages - All Seedance 2.0 prompts: https://ai-video.holycrab.ai/seedance-2-0-prompts/ | Return to the prompt library index. - Seedance 2.0 Image to Video Prompts: https://ai-video.holycrab.ai/seedance-2-0-prompts/image-to-video/ | Browse related prompts in the same Seedance category. - Original HolyCrab playbook page: https://ai-video.holycrab.ai/seedance/examples/first-last-frame-transform/ | Open the deeper source-specific prompt page. - Seedance 2.0 cost calculator: https://ai-video.holycrab.ai/seedance-2-0-cost-calculator/ | Plan prompt tests, retries, and cost per approved clip. - Try Seedance in HolyCrab: https://holycrab.ai/ | Start a Seedance generation handoff.
