The storyboard runs end to end
Frames you can approve, shots long enough to hold their own dialogue, and three steps that were quietly doing nothing.
Fixes:
- Shots are bought long enough to say their line. A five-second shot with a seven-second line was generated at five seconds, and the missing two seconds could not be recovered afterwards — the frames were never bought. Length now follows the voice, so switching a film to another language re-cuts it instead of clipping it.
- Shooting works. Every request was rejected before it reached the generator, and the failure looked exactly like having nothing approved yet, which is presumably how it went unnoticed.
- Shots are generated from your cast references again. They were being sent without any — the step that keeps one face across a whole film was assembling its images and then not attaching them, which is the drift the cast set exists to prevent.
- A character's clothes stay the colour you photographed. The written description outranked your own photo, so a beige top described as pastel-blue came back blue in two slots and beige in a third. The photograph now wins.
Added:
- Storyboard frames are drawable. Every shot card offered a still and there was no way to make one — the panel priced them, the status machine expected them, and nothing anywhere could produce one. One token each, and they are the version you approve before any video is bought.
- A reference set can be a product. The panel always said a character could be a person or a product; every prompt behind it asked for a portrait, so a keyboard came back as somebody's face. Person and product are now a choice on the card, and the object prompts never render a body.
Changed:
- Clips are trimmed from the head rather than the tail, keeping the last moment a cut is built on — the gesture a match cut lands on, the whip pan into the next scene. A shot whose usable part is at the front can say so.
- A shot with no clip yet holds its place with its frame instead of vanishing. Dropping it moved every later shot earlier and quietly pulled the film out of step with its own voice track.
