AI video continuity lock sheet

Continuity dies between regenerations. Hair changes. Shirt color drifts. Desk resets. Clients call it “AI weird.” It’s usually no lock sheet.

I keep a one-pager next to the brief:

Continuity lock
Character / talent notes:
Wardrobe (hex or plain words):
Location / desk setup:
Props that must stay:
Lighting note:
Forbidden regen changes:
Reference still (link):
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Rule: if a regen breaks a locked line, trash that take. Don’t “fix it in post” for five hours.

This sits under proof beats. Proof can be perfect and still fail if beat 3 and beat 4 look like different people.
