Film school · Lesson 4 of 7

Direct with words

Change one thing without rebuilding the rest. You point, the AI edits, and you keep the Undo.

The steps

  1. Choose the scope. In the AI director panel, set the note to the current shot or the whole video. Clicking something in the frame scopes the note to that element.
  2. Describe the change. Write it the way you would say it on set, then send. Use Ask if you want an answer without any change.
  3. Read the before and after. When the run ends, the panel lists the shots that look different, with a before and after frame for each.
  4. Keep it or undo it. Lumen saves a restore point before every run. Undo change brings the old version back.
  5. Protect what works. Lock a line, a shot or a voice. Every later AI run has to leave it as it is.

Worth knowingSelect several shots to run one note on all of them, or use Ultra Edit to send one shot back for a bolder pass.
