- Distinguish planned work from delivered results
- Find the smallest useful next action
Read the stage, then the evidence
Look at the current production stage and any action it requests. A scene plan describes intended work; an asset card may contain a reference; a take is a generated result. Do not interpret a loading animation or an estimated percentage as confirmation that the final video has arrived.
Use the scene and asset filters to focus on the relevant material. Open a take to inspect its video, settings and available actions. Names, shot numbers and timestamps help you refer to the exact item in a direction or a support request. Keep a note of the intended outcome before changing anything.
Respond without duplicating work
If work is still active, inspect its status before starting it again. Refreshing the view is different from accepting a second paid request. Existing successful takes may remain useful even when another shot fails. Preserve them and address the specific failed or incomplete item.
Review the assembled film after choosing takes. A scene can look complete in the library while still needing pacing or sound work in the final sequence. If the displayed state seems inconsistent, use the saved production and activity information to ask for help. Avoid repeatedly pressing Generate to discover whether a previous request was accepted.
Put it into practice
Inspect a production or sketch its stages on paper. Identify one planned item, one delivered item and the next creative decision for each.
- You can locate the exact shot you want to change
- You distinguish a retry of the view from a new generation
