From TikTok Business Help (R1-R4): Symphony Creative Studio is a free AI video tool for TikTok-optimised organic and paid content: text/image/reference-to-video generation, image generation, voiceover avatars (choose from a library filtered by industry, gender, background, region; avatars labelled "Real-human or AI-generated"), product avatars (upload a product or app-screen image and get clips of an avatar holding or modelling it; clothing accessories such as shoes, hats, sunglasses are not supported), translate-and-dub with optional lip sync and captions, an editor, and "Symphony Agent" that turns a prompt into a storyboard and full video. Dreamina Seedance (R2): ByteDance video models integrated into Symphony in variants - Standard (default; broadest features incl. Agent, reference/image/text-to-video and Avatar), Fast (speed; Agent and reference-to-video; for performance ads, UGC-style, refreshes) and Mini (efficiency; high-volume tests, SKU clips, localised variants) - with per-model credit costs shown in the dropdown. Access (R3, Sep 2026): tied to the linked TikTok Ads Manager advertiser ID - unlocks automatically when that ID spent >= $5,000 in the preceding 30 days, reviewed every Monday, lost if spend falls below; agencies use a separate process; clips 4-15 s, desktop only, export to Ads Manager or MP4/JPEG, daily generation caps rise with spend tier; content safety filters apply. Data and rights (R1): "No inputs or outputs are sent back to TikTok or being used to train other AI models at this time", outputs belong to the user unless stated (Creative GenAI Terms must be accepted), the studio has "no direct connection with the TikTok algorithm", and likeness misuse can be reported through TikTok's privacy webform. Implications: small advertisers get stock avatars and editing but not the Seedance models; using a platform avatar does not remove ad disclosure/testimonial obligations (C3-B499-02) or TikTok AIGC labelling (C3-B398-01). Curator correction 2026-10-23 (record C3-B613-05): Problem. C3-B536-01 states that Seedance access is 'lost if spend falls below' $5,000 and presents Standard, Fast and Mini as unlocked by that single spend rule. Conditions. Direct advertisers using Symphony Creative Studio. Method. TikTok's access page says that when the 30-day spend later falls below $5,000 USD you 'may lose access' at the next weekly refresh (hedged, not certain). The Dreamina Seedance overview says availability of each variant depends on the subscription tier and continues to expand, and that credit cost per generation varies by model tier and is shown in the model dropdown. The $5,000 rule, Monday review, highest-spend-ID rule, agency separate process and 4-15 s desktop limits in C3-B536-01 are otherwise supported. Failure modes. Planning a campaign on the assumption of guaranteed access or of all three variants at $5,000. Limitations. Subscription tiers are not defined on the pages read. Version and date. Access page last updated Sep 2026; overview last updated Oct 2026; read 23 Oct 2026. Curator correction 2026-10-23 (record C3-B622-05): Problem. C3-B536-01's title says Seedance access in Symphony 'unlocks only when the linked advertiser ID spent at least $5,000 in the past 30 days (weekly refresh)'. Audit result against the two cited TikTok help pages (re-fetched 2026-10-23). (a) Supported: direct advertisers unlock automatically at $5,000 USD or more in the preceding 30 days; access is reviewed every Monday; the highest-spend linked advertiser ID counts; clips run 4 to 15 seconds depending on mode; daily generation limits scale with ad spend; the tool is described as free. (b) Overstated: 'only'. The same page says 'Advertising agency: access follows a separate process. Contact your TikTok representative to request access', and gives an appeal route for accounts that already meet the spend requirement but cannot generate. (d) Not found on the two cited pages: the Standard, Fast and Mini variant descriptions, the 'Real-human or AI-generated' avatar label, the shoes/hats/sunglasses limitation, and lip sync options. They may come from R3 to R4 pages that the audit list does not name, so the audit marks them unverified, not false. Method. Treat the $5,000 rule as the direct-advertiser path only; agencies must ask a representative. Failure mode. Telling an agency client that spend is the only route. Limitations. TikTok help pages change; page dates are 'Last updated: September 2026' (access) and 'June 2026' (Symphony overview). Version/date. 2026-10-23.
