P to R

Terms from "packshot" to "running assembly".

• Packshot. The product's hero shot; a working word ("end card" on client pages). Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → Built label moments

• Panel line. Face and hair from the close-up panel only, wardrobe and body from the full-body panels (decided). Video with Seedance → The two identity blocks

• PCM (pulse-code modulation). Uncompressed digital audio, the sound inside a WAV; the TV and online masters carry it at 24-bit, 48 kHz. Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → Exports and the delivery check

• Persona. A saved Suno vocal character, made from the approved guide take, that keeps one voice across a jingle's versions; never made from a commercial recording or a real singer. Music → Sung lyrics and the real singer

• Phone band. A small-speaker stand-in, never a real phone: the stems played through a 300 Hz high-pass and an 8 kHz low-pass. Sound design and mix → Checking the mix on small speakers

• Place motion check. One internal 480p draft of a candidate place before the anchors presentation. It is the same kind of step as the face motion test: an internal check of one candidate asset, a face or a place, not of a method, made before the client sees it. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → The place motion check

• Placed voice. Each on-screen line placed at the picture's distance and room, the dry take muted beneath. Sound design and mix → The placed voice

• Plan (shot plan, the plan, your plan). Your internal plan before generating: beats, shots, generations, assets, versions and the estimate. Planning, budgets and takes → Marking the beats

• Planned join. A join that hides or matches the cut, only where the treatment asks, with a fallback real cut. Video with Seedance → Joins, endings, extension and the video edit

• Plate. (1) A location plate: an approved still of a place, used as a reference (Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Location plates). (2) A speaking plate: a generated video take made for lip sync, such as the sound-off speaking plate or the audio-driven plate (Speaking shots and lip sync → Choosing the route per shot).

• Plate-length file. The locked take padded with room tone to the plate's length: Sync-3's audio. Speaking shots and lip sync → Route 2, the Arabic default

• Position image. A GPT Image diagram of where an object stands, a path, or a size against a person. Still prompts, storyboard frames and diagrams → Staging maps, position images, scale sketches

• POSITIVE LOCKS. Prompt block 18: counts, readable text, continuity, cut points, exclusions, a failure sentence. Video with Seedance → The prompt grammar

• POV (point of view). A shot seen through a character's eyes. Video with Seedance → The six start-frame cases

• PPM (peak programme meter). An older broadcast meter some delivery houses still ask for; a loudness meter doesn't read it. Sound design and mix → Loudness: −23 TV, −16 online, −14 short social

• Pre-flight. The nine free checks before every submit: the first five validate the prompt against itself, the last four (pre-flight) check it against the plan. Video with Seedance → Validate, then pre-flight

• Previz (previsualisation). A rough grey version of a move, made before the shot and attached as a video reference when a camera path must be exact. Camera and lens → Exact paths

• Pristine. The client's product, always: no wear, fingerprints, dents or signs of use (decided). Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Products and labels

• Project files (the three project files). The project file of approved decisions, the decisions log of every ruling, and the status page; read at the start of every working session and updated at the end. The stages and gates → Project files and folders

• Prompt blocks. The 18 numbered parts a Seedance prompt is written in. Video with Seedance → The prompt grammar

• Prop sheet. A sheet for a hero prop only: handled, passed, carrying a gag or a transition. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Prop sheets and detail locks

• Proposition. One sentence: what the film must make the audience feel, think or do. The idea → The proposition, and the five obvious ideas

• ProRes. Apple's family of editing-quality video formats: ProRes 4444 with straight alpha for transparent overlays, ProRes 422 HQ for opaque graphics. Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → Graphics built in code

• [proven]. The label for a method two or more respected creators, or established craft practice, show in released work. Start here → Who it is for, and how to read it

• Reaction clock. Each planned reaction's type and time: overlapping, half a beat late, instant, or held then late. Performance → The reaction clock

• Reaction pair. A scene's key reaction carried by the cut: the face, with one small task and no emotion word, set against the shot of what it sees or hears. Performance → The reaction pair

• Recipe (shot recipe). One of the 18 complete Seedance prompts, each for one kind of shot. Music has style formulas instead. Video with Seedance → How to read a recipe

• Reference bar. Every picture set beside an award reference on five points before approval. The quality bar → The reference bar

• Reverse plate. The place viewed from its opposite side, made for every scene the camera crosses, with each major object's new position spelled out. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Location plates

• Re-voiced read. The voice Seedance returns on a take; no Arabic re-voiced read ships (decided). Speaking shots and lip sync → The re-voiced read

• Risk band. Low or high per generation; it sets the expected and ceiling budgets. Planning, budgets and takes → Costs and the estimate

• RMS (root mean square). An average level of a signal over time; the noise floor and the stems' null check are read as RMS levels. Sound design and mix → The mix with speech as the anchor

• Role line. One line per attached reference: its one job, and what not to take. Video with Seedance → Attaching references

• Roll. A one-off defect after the movement works: generate again unchanged. Video with Seedance → The failure table

• Room tone. The quiet sound of a space with nobody speaking. Sound design and mix → Three layers and the order of the sound work

• Rough cut. The edit the client approves at Stage 06: the chosen music only, labelled "ROUGH CUT — Version N", on a new link per send. Editing → The director's cut and the client's rough cut

• Round. One production pass, with its own flat stage folders. The stages and gates → Project files and folders

• Route 1. The Arabic speaking-shot option for close-up hero lines: an audio-driven plate, lip-synced to the exact take with Sync-3. Speaking shots and lip sync → Route 1, for close-up hero lines

• Route 2. The Arabic default: a speaking plate made with the sound off, lip-synced to the exact take with Sync-3. Speaking shots and lip sync → Route 2, the Arabic default

• Running assembly. The working timeline of every reviewed keeper at its plan window, with slugs for the shots not yet made, updated after each batch. Editing → The running assembly after every batch
