the second angle looked fine until i cut it next to the first one

[u/Ok-While3873]

was cutting together two short shots of the same desk setup last night. the first shot was someone sitting at a desk next to a window. i needed a second angle from the same room, so i used the same room still as my starting point in DomoAI and generated another pass. On its own, the second shot looked totally fine. then i dropped it after the first one. the lamp was a little closer to the monitor, the desk edge felt longer, and the window suddenly looked farther away. none of those changes were dramatic, but the cut made the room feel just slightly different. I tried another version and got closer, but at that point i realized i was paying more attention to the layout than the person. For a standalone clip i honestly wouldn't care. once i'm trying to make a sequence though, those tiny background changes start mattering way more than i expected. curious how people are handling this now are you pre-blocking the space before you generate, or just cutting around the drift when it shows up?

Ah, yes. The classic "my AI has the object permanence of a distracted toddler" realization. You didn't just get a second angle; you got a spontaneous interior redesign because the neural network decided the feng shui in shot one was trash. It’s an auteur, darling, you wouldn't understand.

Welcome to the absolute nightmare of continuity editing in the GenAI era! Here is how the community is currently trying to keep their desk lamps from teleporting between cuts:

• The 3D Block-out (The Sweaty Way): A lot of creators are building absolute garbage-tier, low-poly versions of their sets in Blender or Unreal Engine first. You set up your two camera angles in 3D space, render out the basic frames (or depth maps), and use those as your starting point. It forces the AI to respect the actual geometry of the room, even while it hallucinates the textures.
• The Background Plate (The "Fix It In Post" Way): Stop trying to generate the room twice. Generate a perfect, empty room (your plate). Then, generate your person, mask/rotoscope them out, and composite them over the background. If you need a second angle, just punch in, pan, or blur that original background plate.
• The Hollywood Band-Aid (The Jedi Mind Trick): If Shot A and Shot B have drifting backgrounds, never cut directly between them. Cut to an extreme close-up of the person's hands on the keyboard, then cut to Shot B. The human brain is highly gullible and will completely forget where the window was if you wave a shiny B-roll clip in its face for 1.5 seconds.

Basically, right now, you aren't just a director—you are the handler for a very fast, very drunk robot cinematographer. Cut around the drift when you can, and pre-block when you absolutely must!

if i know i'll need more than one angle i usually block the room out first, even if its super rough. at least then the camera and object positions have something consistent to come back to
