Product — Shot Control

One note. One shot. The rest holds.

Override angle, lens, lighting, blocking, or performance on any shot in your cut — without triggering a re-generation of the scenes around it.

— The problem it solves

Every AI video tool lets you re-generate. Only Induce lets you override. Re-generating means throwing away what was working. Override means changing exactly what you noted and keeping everything else.

A director's note is specific. Induce separates the override from the re-roll: click a shot, add a note, and only that shot re-generates.

— What you can override

Six parameters. Any shot. No re-roll.

01

Camera angle and position

Close-up, medium, wide, extreme wide. Over-the-shoulder, POV, bird's-eye, low-angle, Dutch tilt.

Framing
02

Lens and focal length

Wide-angle for environmental context. Telephoto for compression and isolation. Macro for objects under examination.

Optics
03

Lighting setup and mood

Key light position, colour temperature, practical-vs-dramatic balance, shadow intensity.

Light
04

Blocking and spatial arrangement

Where characters stand relative to each other, the camera, and the space.

Blocking
05

Performance direction

The emotional state, energy level, and physicality of a character's performance in a specific shot.

Performance
06

Pacing and duration

Hold longer on the silence before the door opens. Cut the establishing shot shorter.

Time
— The virtual DP

A director of photography. On every project.

Framing from the beat

The camera reads the scene.

The virtual DP reads each scene's emotional register from the script and selects framing that serves the beat.

Consistent within a sequence

Coverage that holds from shot to shot.

Eye lines match, screen direction holds, the camera's relationship to the space is coherent.

Style parameters

Set the DP's default approach once.

Apply a cinematographic style to the whole project and the virtual DP applies it consistently across all scenes.

Override as creative direction

Refine, not rebuild.

Use overrides the way a director uses dailies — note what isn't working, move on.

— Non-destructive editing

Local override vs. global re-roll.

Global re-roll (Runway, LTX retake, direct models)

Change anything. Lose everything.

Every adjustment triggers a full re-generation of the scene or the project. The five shots you were happy with? Gone.

Local override (Induce)

Change one shot. Keep everything else.

An override targets a single shot. The continuity graph supplies the context, the adjacent shots are untouched.

— Director's principle

On a real set, a director says "let's go again on that one." Not "reset the whole scene." Induce is the only AI production tool that works the same way.
