Refix a shot with precise instructions
Use a targeted correction when the foundation of a shot already works.

In this lesson
- Identify the exact moment to correct
- Attach media that explains the intended result
Preserve the shot’s strengths
Use Refix where it is available for the selected shot. Describe what is wrong, where it happens and what should replace it. Name the details to preserve: character identity, camera position, lighting, wardrobe or the successful beginning of the action. A focused correction gives the request a stable foundation.
If the entire scene premise or camera setup is wrong, a broader revision may be more appropriate. Refix is not a promise that any change can be made without affecting surrounding frames. Choose the tool according to the scope of the problem and inspect the current supported options.
Make references explanatory
Use the + control to add relevant media when it helps explain the fix. State whether an image shows a correct object, a desired arrangement or a moment to preserve. Do not attach an unrelated inspiration image and expect its purpose to be obvious.
Review the quoted cost before accepting the correction. When the result arrives, watch the changed moment and its boundaries: a corrected hand should still connect naturally to the movement before and after it. Keep the previous usable take until you have compared the result.
At the moment Nia places the cup down, keep the cup blue and place it to the left of the envelope. Preserve her face, coat, camera angle and the rest of the action. The attached image shows the intended table arrangement.
Put it into practice
Write a Refix instruction for one local issue. Include the affected moment, the desired change and three details to preserve; identify any useful reference.
- The request describes a limited correction
- The surrounding action still makes sense after the fix
