A useful tip

Ask for changes in chat and identify the scene or result. Each new result appears later in the conversation, keeping earlier work available.

If something goes wrong

Reopen the saved conversation and read its status before sending again. Let active work finish; an unavailable preview or connection does not mean a new generation is needed.

Read first, create when you’re ready

Reading this guide is free. Assistant and Film maker use credits as they work and pause when your balance is insufficient. Guide me pauses for creative review; Just make it continues automatically.
