## Direct Answer

Seedance 2.0 is best treated as a multimodal video workflow: define the subject and motion in text, use references only when they control identity, motion, audio, or camera, then test the prompt in HolyCrab.

## 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

- Choose the official, creator, or trend path that best matches the video job.
- Confirm source attribution, rights status, and curation status before using the prompt.
- Rewrite the prompt into subject, motion, camera, reference role, lighting, duration, and payoff.
- Send the rewritten prompt to HolyCrab Seedance and compare the output against the intended motion.

## Official Seedance layer

Start with the official model page and Seedance paper to understand multimodal references, audio-video generation, editing, and camera control before copying creator prompts.

## Creator prompt layer

Published creator examples are shown with original source links and embed-only rights. They are prompt study pages, not rehosted third-party media.

## HolyCrab conversion layer

Each page turns the source into a practical prompt anatomy: subject, action, reference role, camera, lighting, duration, and final payoff.

## HolyCrab Handoff

1. Choose whether the task needs official capability guidance, a creator prompt, or a fresh trend reference.
2. Confirm sourceKind, rightsStatus, and curationStatus before using the record.
3. Rewrite the prompt into subject, motion, camera, reference role, lighting, duration, and payoff.
4. Try the result in HolyCrab and compare the output against the source intent.
