• Seedance 2.0: Advancing Video Generation for World Complexity

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.

Example prompt

Common failure modes

Audio is referenced but visual timing is not specified; Too many scene cuts; Dialogue or sound intent is ambiguous
