If the latest clip gets the motion right but bends the prop out of shape, another attempt is worth considering only when you know what to change. Decide what counts as usable before you queue the first clip. The example below uses a wooden block moving toward a ceramic arch.
Stop at the first clip that meets all three checks. If your time budget runs out, save the best candidate and note the specific failing check. When the same problem persists after a focused change, revise the reference before retrying. For example, widen an ambiguous starting gap so the block and arch read as separate objects. That gives the next attempt a concrete job and gives you a reason to wait in the queue again.
Give the clip three checks
Start with your own still. Put a small orange block on the left and a cream ceramic arch a little to its right. Leave a visible gap. Use the same framing and aspect ratio for each attempt so the clips can be compared at the same scale.- Shape. The block stays rectangular through the shot. Check the moving edges, especially halfway through.
- Motion. The block slides right and stops with a visible gap before the arch. Check the last moment at normal playback speed, then pause it.
- Framing. The arch and table edge hold their position in the frame. Compare the first and last frames and watch for drift between them.
Keep the reference and change one instruction
Write a baseline prompt with the prop, movement and what should stay put:Save the reference and prompt before submitting. If the movement overshoots, strengthen the endpoint instruction while leaving the reference, aspect ratio and camera instruction alone. If the whole scene drifts, retain the improved endpoint wording and tighten only the camera instruction. Compare each attempt with the preceding one. Generation can vary between requests, so a single pair shows what happened on that pair of clips.A small orange wooden block slides gently to the right on a sage tabletop and stops just before the ivory arch. The arch and table stay still. Keep a fixed side view.
Use a three-row retry log
Here is how a session might go. Keep your own answers short enough that you can scan them while comparing clips.- Baseline. Shape passes and framing holds, but the block touches the arch. Clarify where it should stop.
- Clarify the endpoint. Add “leave a visible gap and hold it through the final moment.” Shape and motion pass, but the camera drifts. Keep the new endpoint wording and tighten the camera instruction.
- Lock the framing. Add “keep the camera, crop and table edge fixed throughout.” Shape, motion, and framing all pass. Keep this clip.
Stop at the first clip that meets all three checks. If your time budget runs out, save the best candidate and note the specific failing check. When the same problem persists after a focused change, revise the reference before retrying. For example, widen an ambiguous starting gap so the block and arch read as separate objects. That gives the next attempt a concrete job and gives you a reason to wait in the queue again.
