The thumbnails are 110px squares cropped square, which is too small to check
the thing they exist to record — the collar, the eye colour, the markings that
have to survive into the video.
A video came out with the wrong dog — no collar, hazel eyes instead of black —
and there was no way to tell from this page whether a reference photograph had
been used at all. It had not: the shot had a photo selected but no opening
frame, so Veo was given the written description only and invented a plausible
bulldog.
Show both images side by side, and say loudly when there is no opening frame,
because that is the exact signature of a likeness that silently went missing.
Cost was a single number, which now hides two very different things: about
$0.40 a shot of video generation against roughly $0.015 of voice conversion.
Per shot, show which voice was actually dubbed in, so a conversion that failed
and silently fell back to Veo's own audio is visible rather than invisible.
The reason was already being stored on the project, but the page showed a bare
"could not finish" and a Start again button. A dead link is the most common
cause and it is the reader's to fix, so it needs saying out loud.
The old field asked owners to describe a voice in prose, and that prose went
straight into the Veo prompt. Nobody can reliably describe a voice, and the
description matched no actual voice, so nothing held the character steady
between episodes.
Now the owner picks an ElevenLabs voice and can listen to it first. That single
choice drives the Veo prompt, the writer's sense of the character, the word
budget per shot, and the voice the finished clip is redubbed into. The prose
box stays as an optional note that reaches the writer only.
