Validate, then pre-flight

Nine free checks before every submit. The first five check the prompt against itself (validate); the last four check it against the plan (pre-flight).

Validate the prompt

1. Windows: in ACTION / TIMELINE, each timed window ends where the next begins, and the last one ends at the clip's duration ("0–2 s, 2–5 s, 5–8 s" for an 8 s clip).

2. Sound times: every time in AUDIO matches an event in ACTION / TIMELINE.

3. Tags: every @image tag points to an attached image, in media order (the order the images sit in the job), and appears only in lines where its subject is on screen.

4. Frame one: FIRST FRAME AND BLOCKING puts someone or something in the frame, readable and already moving ("already lowering the bottle"), never "begins to".

5. Light and lens: LIGHTING names one source; OPTICS gives one field of view and says it holds ("the lens holds steady").

Pre-flight against the plan

1. Time: each action can really happen in its window, and each shot has one primary action.

2. Spoken words: where Seedance speaks a line, it is only the words in quotation marks; check that nothing else is quoted.

3. No storyboard (decided): no storyboard or presentation image is attached in any role, or used as the source of a frame.

4. The honest operator [proven]: the move is one a real operator could perform with the named rig (see Camera and lens → The honest, fallible operator).
