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.

Reusable pattern

First-last-frame prompting anchors the opening and final composition so the generation has a clear visual destination.

Rewrite rule

Keep the capability structure, then replace subject, reference role, camera, action, and final-frame payoff.

Source evidence

Use first and last frame references for transformations, product reveals, before-after shots, and story beats where the ending must land.

HolyCrab next step

Test the smallest official-style Seedance prompt in HolyCrab before adding more reference inputs.

Prompt pattern

Describe the starting frame, the transition motion, and the exact final frame payoff.

Example prompt

Start on a closed perfume bottle on black glass. The camera pushes in as mist curls around the cap. End on the bottle open, label facing camera, with a soft gold reflection.

Common failure modes

The final frame is not specific; The motion between frames is too complex; The product identity changes
