Locate the Missing Support Relationship
A prop may rest on a table, be held, hang from a cord, or follow a chosen throw. Establish the current relationship and when it changes, then locate the candidate’s departure.
If a head turn moves a previously resting prop into the air, revisit contact and motion ownership. Keep chosen wind-blown paper or magical suspension with its cause, target, and endpoint. Being airborne alone does not establish an error.
Replace “Keep Unchanged” With a Contact State
| Specify | Envelope example |
|---|---|
| Object and count | One brown envelope, without a duplicate. |
| Support | Flat in the middle of a wooden tabletop, continuously supported. |
| Contact | Liu’s hands rest on chair arms; no pickup is chosen. |
| Allowed change | She turns toward a sound; the envelope stays at its table position. |
| End | She faces the closed door; the envelope remains on the table. |
For a lift, establish contact and grip before departure. For placement, establish support before release. Persistent relationships constrain actions without freezing the whole person. Image-to-video still needs local contact facts necessary for execution.
Complete Original Prompt: A Head Turn With the Envelope Supported
Original plan: Liu turns toward a knock while the envelope is not picked up. The author chooses text-to-video, with no real reference or output. Six seconds is an illustrative window; match actual duration support and prompt format separately.
Copyable prompt:
In a pale workshop, Liu Ning in a gray sweater sits on a wooden chair, hands resting on its arms. One brown envelope lies flat in the middle of a wooden tabletop, continuously supported by the table. A fixed medium shot includes her, both hands, and the envelope; a closed wooden door is at screen right in soft side-window light. Begin in this seated state. After two knocks sound from the right-hand door, her gaze shifts there and her head follows, with hands remaining on the chair arms. The envelope stays flat at its original table position throughout. She ends looking at the closed door while the table still supports it. The camera remains fixed to show the change of attention and the prop’s location. Sound consists of the two knocks and room ambience, with no dialogue, voiceover, or music. Generate no non-diegetic subtitles, captions, or dialogue text overlays at any point.
“She turns naturally; keep the envelope unchanged” omits support, contact, and allowed movement. The prompt is not evidence of a successful generation. Check position, shape, and contact throughout any adopted output rather than just its final frame.
Repair the Relationship While Keeping the Performance
Inspect whether a real reference already suspends, hides, or overlaps the object with a hand. Avoid repairing floating while retaining a contradictory start. Route necessary image or boundary repairs back to their documents instead of adding prohibitions.
If contact wording alone is missing, keep lines, reactions, camera, and endpoint while adding that relationship. Reframing, removing the prop, or splitting must account for any information it carries. Ease of generation cannot make its duty disappear.
Check Support Continuity and the Chosen End
Watch the whole shot normally, using slow playback to locate departure, penetration, or shape change. For lifting or placement, check contact, departure, support, and release in order. Handoffs need their own repair rather than a universal prop freeze.
Then verify original performance, sound, and the next start. Review the actual new candidate after regeneration. Correctly described support does not establish retained contact; without an output, deliver the revision plan with the result unresolved.
FAQ
Can I forbid every prop from moving?
Constrain only props that should stay. Chosen pickups, wind, or effects need defined causes and contact transitions rather than a global freeze overriding the scene.
Does floating always mean the prompt is wrong?
No. The start reference, occlusion, or the candidate itself can fail. Check actual inputs and frames; change implementation or redo the affected shot if necessary rather than reporting a fix from an added prohibition.
Do it with the skill
Use $short-drama-video-prompts on the named prop shot with storyboard, real references, support surface, contact, and the floating location. Repair support and allowed motion while retaining performance, quantity, sound, and the chosen end. Identify necessary start or storyboard changes first. Review the actual new output after the complete prompt; valid wording does not establish a repaired image.
