How Do I Fix One Shot Without Regenerating Everything?

Four fixes that never re-render the picture

Under the player of every finished segment sits Edit this clip, with four tabs, and four is a deliberate number — each tab answers a different kind of wrong. Trim is for timing: the clip starts a beat too early, runs on after the last line, or has a stumble in the middle. Nothing new is generated — what you keep is the picture you already had — and each trim costs 5 credits.

AI visuals is for what is in the picture: a fixed menu of eight changes — clothes colour, time of day, weather, background people, lights, a scar, an expression, or swapping one character for another. The clip is made again from itself with only that changed. It cannot change the framing, the camera or where people stand; it is charged at 2× the per-second price of the tier the clip was made on, for the length of the clip.

Redub is for the voice side: the spoken lines can be re-voiced, or a character's voice changed, in the clip you already have — with lip sync at 1 credit per second of the whole clip. And Enhance keeps the take and raises its resolution one step. All four start from the clip you have, so the shot's framing, its camera, the blocking and the timing carry over untouched — that is exactly why they are cheap compared with shooting the scene again.

The take you started from is never lost

Each fix saves a new version of the segment; the clip you started from is kept. The version list is the record: the original carries a generated label, each fix carries its own, and switching back is a click. One rule to know: a segment keeps one redubbed version — the next redub replaces it — while the generated original always stays.

The versions guide covers comparing and switching, and what each fix costs collects the prices in one place.

What in-place fixes cannot do

The list of what survives an in-place fix is as important as the list of what it repairs. None of the four can move the camera, change the framing or move people around. They cannot remove a person who should not be in the shot, clean up garbled lettering in the picture, or stop a crowd that walks in halfway. A duplicated person stays duplicated. Those are all storyboard problems wearing a clip's clothes: the fix is to edit that shot's text — which costs nothing — and regenerate that one segment, at the video's per-second rate, from 10 credits per second.

Two practical notes. A few clips made by an earlier version of the site must be regenerated first — the panel says so when it applies. And a changed line is not a changed clip: saving new dialogue updates the text, and the clip needs a Redub or a regeneration to speak it.

Why not regenerate the whole episode

Because it buys nothing and pays for everything. Every segment is an independent generation billed by its seconds, so redoing the episode re-bills each segment you already accepted, throws away the takes you liked, and re-rolls the ones that were fine. The in-place tools and single-segment regeneration exist so that two weak seconds do not cost you the episode.

There is one button that really does rewrite everything: regenerating the storyboard. It rewrites the whole episode's segments — that is its own guide, with its own warnings — and even the music starts over when it runs. For everything smaller, work clip-first. After a segment is fixed, put the episode back together: composite again to carry the new version into the final cut, at 1 credit per second of the episode.

Where the edit questions land

Editing and post-production is one of the largest themes in the corpus, with 9,600 more posts about workflows and pipelines, and 1,300 about visual defects — the three labels this question sits between:

Two notes from the corpus shape this page. The first is about where quality is actually judged — not in the clips, in the join:

The quality of the generated clips is good. The editing, which is what I would call production value, is abhorrent.

To be fair to the film in question, that is one viewer's verdict on one edit — but it is the right instinct to take from it: the assembly decides how the work reads, and assembly is exactly where in-place fixes act. The second note is a question that keeps coming back, and it is this page's premise stated from the other side:

or do you generate a single clip with multiple shots?

The verdict comes from a discussion in r/aivideo; the question is from a practice thread in the corpus. The method note explains how counts like these are collected.

Limitations: what in-place fixes cannot do

• A fix is not a new performance. If the acting is wrong — the emotion misses, the timing of the scene is off — that is a storyboard change and a regeneration, not a repair.
• In-place tools cannot remove a duplicated person, clean up garbled lettering or stop a crowd walking in mid-shot. Those need the shot rewritten.
• Fixes apply to clips that exist: a segment still generating, an episode whose storyboard is being generated, or a clip with another change already running will ask you to wait.
• The corpus figures are keyword-rule counts over the 2026 collection; they show where the conversation is, not a quality ranking.

FAQ

The walk-through for the whole panel is Edit this clip: trim, AI visuals or Redub, with deeper pages on fixing one shot and regenerating and changing a line after the video is made. If the whole sequence needs rethinking rather than a clip, start from how segments stack into a longer video.
