# Keep movement direction clear between short video shots

When two clips appear next to each other, a change in direction can make the subject seem to reverse course. Check the cut before changing the color or adding a transition.

1. Watch the last second of the first clip. Note which way the subject moves across the frame.
2. Watch the first second of the next clip. If the subject suddenly moves the other way, decide whether that reversal is part of the story.
3. If it is accidental, try a different cut point or add a short neutral shot between the two clips. Keep a copy of each original export.

A generated clip can be unpredictable, so describe the movement in plain language before another attempt. For example, specify that a paper airplane travels from left to right while the camera remains still. The Free AI Video editor accepts a text prompt, with model choices shown in the editor.
