Control motion in generated video

Reduces melting subjects and objects passing through each other by limiting what moves.

Prompt
Fix the motion in this shot.

Diagnose first:
1. How many things move — subject, camera, background elements, clothing, hair. *Every additional moving element multiplies the failure rate.* Count them.
2. Whether the camera and the subject both move. If so, that alone explains most drift.
3. Clip length. Degradation compounds; the back half of a long clip is where things fall apart.
4. Contact and occlusion — hands holding objects, people passing behind each other, feet on ground. These are the specific hard cases.

Then rewrite:
- **One subject in motion.** Everything else explicitly held still.
- Camera static, or one simple movement, never both with subject motion.
- The action described as a single continuous movement, not a sequence. A sequence belongs in separate shots.
- Physical contact stated explicitly if it must happen, or removed from the shot if it does not.
- Duration cut to the shortest that serves the shot.

Then:
- Whether this shot should be split into two generations.
- What to accept as good enough. *Some of this is a model limitation, not a prompt problem* — say which, so I stop rerolling something that will not improve.
- Whether a still image plus motion in editing would be more reliable than generating the motion.

What this prompt does

Generated video degrades as clips get longer and busier. This reduces the moving elements to one and stops the camera and subject moving at the same time.
