Who Clears the Reference Files Before AI Video Generation?

Who Clears the Reference Files Before AI Video Generation? Seedance 2.5 can take 30 images, 10 video clips, and 10 audio clips in one run. Useful. It also makes “attach” look much cheaper than it is. Before generation, each file needs three labels: who owns it, what use is approved, and what decision it controls. The old logo should not beat the approved one because it was uploaded later. A temporary music track should not quietly survive into the client cut. If nobody can explain why file 37 is there, leave it out. The platform incentive is obvious: more inputs make the model look more controllable. The team’s incentive should be fewer, cleaner references. Save the approved pack with the output, including the exact versions used, so a late rights question does not become a scavenger hunt across chat and Drive. ByteDance shows the larger reference allowance and timestamp editing. It does not remove the ordinary clearance job. Who signs off on the pack before a small team spends the run—the creative lead, producer, or whoever owns the underlying assets?
