TikTok Symphony is not the catalog
Symphony is TikTok Ads Manager. It does not caption, dub, or fail over to Veo or Kling. Keep Seedance. Stop living only in Symphony.

When the pack cannot morph, start Seedance from a locked still. Text-to-video invents a cousin SKU.
Omni 1.1 Flash accepts up to three seconds of video as a reference. That is not Seedance’s 12-file stack.
Ship the language set with the first cut: Seedance lip-sync in 8+, 165 caption codes, Octave 2 as an explainer Versely does not sell.
Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance), Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, and Gemini Omni Flash. Audio-native is the default. Sora's API shuts 24 September 2026. Veo 4 is not announced.
TikTok announced Symphony Agent at Cannes Lions June 2026. July added Seedance 2.0, Referring-to-Video, avatars, Auto Selection, Asset Manager.
Seedance 2.x @-files are multimodal references in one generate. /models/*-reference-to-video is a dedicated R2V endpoint. Different APIs, same job family.
Vidu vs Seedance.
Identity hold.
Macro still then I2V. Do not Veo a whole car commercial.
Split jobs.
Diegetic click vs identity: pick one row.
Split the slate. One model will not do both.
Two rows.
Seedance I2V from the listing photo. Grok Imagine is an X destination row.
Split diegetic sound vs identity.
I2V from their photo. A Kling sports car is a different garage.
Seedance on the wall unit. Veo weather is a different ad.
This is the SKU. Contractor /for is the local install. Different jobs.
I2V the MLS photo. T2V invents a different house.
Vidu vs silent I2V.
Type lock then motion.
Frame A is torn asphalt. Frame B is sealed. Interpolate. Do not Seedance a 30s hold.
Vidu click or Seedance logo. Pick.
