Citation summary: A practical HolyCrab manual that paraphrases official Seedance 2.0 sources into prompt workflows for creators.

## Direct Answer

Use the official Seedance 2.0 material as the authority layer, then translate each capability into a narrow prompt workflow with explicit reference roles and visible source attribution.

## 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

- 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.

## Prompt Utility

- Evidence status: official-source paraphrase
- Confidence: official
- Reusable pattern: Use the official Seedance 2.0 material as the authority layer, then translate each capability into a narrow prompt workflow with explicit reference roles and visible source attribution.
- Rewrite rule: Keep the capability structure, then replace subject, reference role, camera, action, and final-frame payoff.
- Source evidence: A practical HolyCrab manual that paraphrases official Seedance 2.0 sources into prompt workflows for creators.
- HolyCrab next step: Test the smallest official-style Seedance prompt in HolyCrab before adding more reference inputs.

## What the official sources support

Seedance 2.0 is described by official sources as a multimodal audio-video model with text, image, audio, and video inputs, plus reference and editing workflows.

## How HolyCrab turns the manual into prompts

HolyCrab pages keep the official source separate from creator examples, then convert each capability into a prompt template, failure-mode checklist, and generation handoff.

## 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.
