Shot Control Lab: Score Motion Before Style
Seedance 2.5 supports longer audio-video generation and multiple reference inputs, but a feature list is not a production benchmark. This lab scores whether a clip follows a shot brief without changing the subject, camera path, or scene logic.
Protocol
- Write a shot contract before generation: subject, action, camera movement, duration, start state, end state, forbidden changes, and audio cue.
- Test five shot types: locked product shot, slow dolly, single human action, multi-object motion, and image-to-video continuity.
- Keep references and settings fixed across repeated runs. A single selected clip hides retry rate and makes temporal reliability impossible to compare.
Interactive scorecard
Score each dimension from 0 (failed) to 4 (clean pass). The result is an evaluation aid, not a model leaderboard.
A practical place to retain the shot brief and compare outputs is the Seedance 2.5 text-to-video workspace. This workflow link is disclosed because PhotoArtify Team builds the linked product.
How to report the result
Publish pass rate, accepted seconds, retry count, and failure notes. A model that creates one impressive clip after many attempts may be less useful than a model with slightly lower peak style but much stronger first-pass control.
