A 38-second Short cut from Adil's AI filmmaking masterclass: run test drafts at 480p to check only framing and positions, pick the winning takes and recreate just those at 1080p; batching matters because the same prompt varies, and a random take gave him an unasked-for Dutch angle he kept.

Threads in this video
- restate · How do you draft and lock a shot before rendering the final? — Adil advises against rendering every test in HD: run drafts at 480p, where only framing and who stands where are checked, pick the winning takes and recreate just those at 1080p. (00:00:00)
- restate · When a generation fails, should you generate more takes, fix the prompt or start over? — Adil says batching matters because the exact same prompt gives slightly different results: a random take of Adam leaving on the bike gave him a low, tilted Dutch angle he never asked for, and he kept it.
