Fix a bad extend

Drift, repeated beats, and identity breaks across segments.

Use this to

Recover when a chain drifts in look, repeats a beat, or breaks identity. Job to be done: describe what went wrong and re-run a corrected continuation with stronger locks.

What to try

1. Re-run with stronger character references or Elements / [@me].

2. Shorten the target or simplify beats if motion collapses.

3. Tell the agent exactly what drifted (hair, wardrobe, location, logo) and ask for a corrected continuation.

4. Prefer Veo chains for logo-heavy storyboards; prefer Kling when you explicitly want longer Kling segments.

5. Restate “same character as before” and keep the same [@Name] tags — do not rename mid-project.

Common causes

• Weak or conflicting references across segments

• Target duration too long for the amount of action described

• Spoken script longer than the allocated seconds

• Switching models mid-story without re-locking identity

Tips

Fix still storyboards before re-animating. One clear correction note beats a vague “make it better”. Check Credits Activity if a failed retry refunded automatically before you spend again.
