S

Terms from "sample batch" to "Sync-3".

• Sample batch. One sample shot per scene, its hero or riskiest, two 480p drafts each (decided). Planning, budgets and takes → The generation rhythm

• Sealed prompt. A prompt that stands alone: no titles, scene numbers or "as above". Video with Seedance → The prompt grammar

• Seedance's own voice. Option: use it when a principal line is in English or another language Seedance speaks well [proven]. Never Arabic (decided). Speaking shots and lip sync → English lines and Seedance's own voice

• Send log. One row per send: version, date, contents, link, recipient and note. The stages and gates → Approvals and the send log

• SFX (sound effects). The one-shots, hard effects and designed sounds, each a row on the SFX list. Sound design and mix → The SFX list and its Lead column

• [single strong source]. The label for one strong creator or studio; it enters only as a labelled option. Start here → Who it is for, and how to read it

• Six client documents. Detailed Brief, concepts, treatment, anchors presentation, rough-cut page, final film page. The stages and gates → What the client sees, and what stays internal

• Smiling close-up. Option: use it when the script has a smile or laugh in a close or medium shot [single strong source]. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Close-ups and casting stills

• Sound-off speaking plate. The actor speaking with the sound off, the mouth on the recording's measured beats. Speaking shots and lip sync → Choosing the route per shot

• Sourced still. A still from Frameset, ShotDeck, FILMGRAB or award-level human-made work, never AI-made. References → Sourced stills on pages

• Speed-up. The default 25 fps TV version: the 24 fps film played about 4% faster. Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → 25 fps TV versions by speed-up

• SRT (SubRip). The common plain-text caption file: one per language and per sequence, its name carrying the frame rate. Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → Captions, Arabic included

• SSML. A markup some speech engines read for pauses and speed; Eleven v4 has none. Voice and Arabic dialects → ElevenLabs settings, tags and pace

• Staging map. Where people stand and face, made in GPT Image, attached last, never drawn by the video model. Still prompts, storyboard frames and diagrams → Staging maps, position images, scale sketches

• Star, not chain. Always attach the original anchors; a take's frame never becomes a reference (decided). Video with Seedance → Attaching references

• Start-frame cases. The six cases where a start or end frame is used; references alone are the default. Video with Seedance → The six start-frame cases

• State sheet. A sheet for any visible change of a character or object, with a new name and version. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → State sheets

• Stems. One file per part of the mix, adding up exactly to the mix. Sound design and mix → Stems

• Still-prompt structure. One required order for every generated frame, plate and internal still. Still prompts, storyboard frames and diagrams → The still-prompt structure

• Stop rules. When a generating step stops: at the ceiling, at the same failure twice, at a second refusal, or before the approved stage budget is passed. You write down the diagnosis and choose what to do next. Planning, budgets and takes → The stop rules

• Storyboard image. Every image in a presentation: never a start frame, never attached to a generation (decided). Writing the treatment → Storyboard images

• Style anchor. One accepted hero frame in a stylised film's exact style. It owns the style. Stylised films (Seedream 5.0 Pro) → The style anchor

• Style formula. A starting set of Suno settings and style text for a common music job: a bed, a voiceover bed, a jingle, stems. Music → Style-text examples

• Sync-3. Sync Lipsync 3, on Higgsfield: fits a plate's mouth to the exact recording. Speaking shots and lip sync → Choosing the route per shot
