Turn an AI fight prompt you found into your own show
Paste the prompt into a ShowMaker multishot panel and map it onto your show. The action, camera moves and timing stay as written, while the people, location and props become your own cast, set and props. Fit the beats to your scene, check the frames, and render the whole fight in one take.
The example
Every fight in this scene of Misty and the Monk started as someone else's prompt. One was a wuxia duel found online. One was an earth-bending fight written by an AI. One was a spell-shield battle. Each was pasted into a multishot panel, mapped onto our own cast and courtyard, and rendered once.
That gave us three fights in one show, and they look like they belong to it, because the faces, the courtyard and the props are ours. What we kept from the originals was the choreography: the action, the camera moves and the timing.
Why a pasted prompt doesn't just work
A good fight prompt describes its own people and its own place. Paste it into a video model as-is and you get someone else's characters in someone else's world, and the next shot won't match. What you want from it is the shape of the fight. You'll bring your own cast.
A multishot panel is one render that covers several shots of a scene in one take. That fits a fight prompt well, since those are usually written as a run of beats with cuts between them.
How to do it
- Find or write the prompt. Any multishot-style fight prompt works, whether it's one you found or one an AI wrote for you.
- Paste it into a multishot panel. Open the scene and paste the text into the panel.
- Map it to your show. Swap the prompt's people, location and props for your own @references. The action and camera direction stay as written.
- Fit the beats. Match the prompt's beats to your scene so the fight lands where your story needs it.
- Check the frames. Look at the start frames before you spend anything on video.
- Render once. The whole fight comes back as one multishot take. If part of it misses, the take can be trimmed and broken back into shots instead of re-rolled.
A free vertical version
The scene was made in 16:9. The 9:16 Shorts version was cut from it for free with the AI-assisted conversion. It isn't perfect, but it didn't cost anything. If you want both shapes framed natively from the start, a Hybrid project keeps a 9:16 and a 16:9 version of the same story.
Why this is worth doing
A good fight is hard to write. Plenty of people share theirs. Reusing the choreography while keeping your own cast means you aren't starting from a blank page, and the scene still looks like your show rather than a clip from somewhere else.

Related questions
What stays the same from the original prompt?
The action, the camera moves and the timing are kept as written. The people, the location and the props are replaced with your own.
How many renders does a fight take?
In the Misty and the Monk example each fight was a single multishot render.
Can I get a vertical version of the same fight?
Yes. The Shorts version of that scene was cut from the 16:9 for free with the AI-assisted conversion. For native framing in both shapes, use a Hybrid project.
