Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 6 s close-up of a man in a red tee at a glass door, a warm smile, then he turns and walks inside
A close-up of a man in a red tee beside a glass door and red brick who looks aside, smiles warmly and appears to speak, then turns and walks through the dark glass door.
Task: Stage a close-up of a man in a red tee beside a glass door who speaks with a warm smile, turns and walks inside as one continuous live-action take of 6 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.25 s: Close: a man in a red tee faces the camera, a glass door at the left, brick behind.
0.76 s: He looks off to the right, brows raised.
1.26 s: He smiles slightly, closer.
1.76 s: Same; his eyes are closed.
2.27 s: He speaks, mouth open.
2.77 s: He smiles, looking at the camera.
3.27 s: Same; a warm smile.
3.78 s: He turns his head and body to the right, still smiling.
4.28 s: He turns away, his face leaving the frame at the lower left.
4.78 s: His back is to the camera as he steps toward a dark doorway.
5.29 s: He walks into the doorway.
5.79 s: He walks through the glass door.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a push toward his head and shoulders, a warm smile with a speaking mouth and a turn into the doorway. The linked inputs are recorded by count only; their disclosure and rights basis are unconfirmed, and the prompt asks that they set the faces and wardrobe of the people shown, so likeness is a hold. Spoken lines were requested and not heard.
Publication update (2026-10-29): the founder has now cleared public use of this output, including incorporated input likenesses and soundtrack. Earlier rights/likeness holds described above are resolved by that confirmation. Reference-input files remain private. Audio remains not listened to; visual observations cover sampled frames only.

}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 sampled frames of the output (sampled visual inspection, not full playback).
- [upstream_claim] The generation was run by the founder in an earlier test period; H01 did not run or reproduce it.
- [inference] A short close-up with one turn is enough to carry a send-off line.
