How to fix one thing in an AI shot without redrawing it

Updated 2026-10-27·3 min read·Rendering

The shot that was almost right

One frame in our episode Marry My Broken Son had the room right, the light right and the cast right. But she was facing the wrong way, and her champagne flute was full when the scene needed it empty.

Those are two small problems. The risk is that a fresh generation fixes them and breaks other things, like the face drifting or the dress changing.

The fix in ShowMaker

1. Open Shoot with AI on the shot and pick Change.
2. Say only what's wrong. Ours was one sentence: “Make her face the camera, and empty the flute.”
3. Apply the change. The frame is redrawn with those two fixes. Everything else in the frame is kept.
4. Go on to Video. It writes the motion prompt for the fixed frame. Read it, adjust it if you need to, and save it to the shot.
5. Pick the model in Render Options. Wan 3 starts on your still, with up to ten references. Seedance mini and fast re-compose the shot from the references. We used Seedance mini because it's the cheaper choice and builds the shot from the character sheets.
6. Check the cost, then regenerate. The cost shows before anything is spent. Ours was 14 credits.

How to word the change

Keep it short and concrete. These are the rules we follow:

• Name the subject. “Make her face the camera” is better than “fix the pose.”
• Ask for one or two changes at a time. Each extra ask is another thing the model can get wrong.
• Describe how it should end up. “Empty the flute” works better than “the flute shouldn't be full.”
• Leave the rest alone. Don't re-describe the room or the outfit. Those are already in the frame and the references.

If the first try misses, reword the sentence and keep the shot.

Why fix the still first

The still is the cheap part. A video render is where the money goes. When the start frame is right, the video has a much better chance of being right on the first try. If you re-roll video to fix a pose, you pay video prices for a still problem.

This is also why we check stills before rendering any video at all. What you spend depends more on how many attempts a shot takes than on the price of one clip.

When not to use Change

If the problem is the whole composition, like the wrong room or the wrong people, it's too big for a small edit. Start the shot over from a better frame. And if part of a multishot take is wrong, Split into two shots breaks it apart, so you can fix one shot without rendering the rest again.

For keeping faces the same across shots, see AI character consistency. For what a minute of finished video costs, see AI video cost per minute.
