## Audit the listing photos before generating

Thanks to Higgsfield for sponsoring this video.

The video uses a listing remotely. Use images you own or have permission to reuse, and do not treat invented rooms or altered fixtures as accurate property footage.

1. Connect Higgsfield MCP to Claude through the setup shown at 2:05.
2. Choose coherent photos that show compatible parts of the property.
3. Audit the available views, missing information and likely continuity problems before spending generation credits.
4. Choose a short shot list grounded in those actual photos.

## Give the camera a specific move

Luke demonstrates dolly, axis-lock, crane and orbit moves rather than relying on the word cinematic.

1. Specify the direction, subject and intended end frame for each shot.
2. Check whether the selected source image supports that movement without inventing unseen geometry.
3. Review the first generation for disappearing details, warping and incoherent space.
4. Request a targeted revision for the weak shot.

## Trim and cut the usable footage

Continuous AI transitions can make rooms morph together. The demonstration uses trimmed endings and hard cuts on motion.

1. Inspect the beginning and ending of each clip and trim unstable frames.
2. Join compatible movement with deliberate hard cuts.
3. Watch the full sequence for property accuracy as well as visual flow.
4. Keep a second-pass review instead of accepting the first attractive result.

## The takeaway

Coherent photos and controlled shots matter more than an elaborate prompt. The finished creative is not proof of property dimensions or commercial performance.
