Review & QA

Filmgenic automatically evaluates every generated video clip. Each clip receives:

• Quality score — Numerical rating reflecting visual fidelity, motion coherence, and prompt adherence
• Review notes — Specific feedback about what works well and what could be improved
• Pass/fail decision — Clips below the quality threshold are flagged for re-generation

The automated review loop runs in a cycle of up to 3 iterations. In each iteration:

1. All current video clips are evaluated
2. Failed clips are flagged with specific quality issues
3. Flagged clips are regenerated with adjusted prompts or provider settings
4. New clips are re-evaluated in the next iteration

The loop stops when all clips pass quality review or the maximum iteration count is reached.

In a Producer run, review repairs are planned in rounds and each round is reserved against the run's credit ceiling before any clip is regenerated. When the next round would exceed the ceiling, the run pauses with a policy-exception checkpoint that shows the affected scenes and the projected cost. You can approve that round, raise the ceiling, or cancel and assemble the current clips as-is; an as-is assembly is a complete video that has not passed the quality target. See Producer Runs & Budgets.

In the Studio's Review step, you review each scene individually and make approval decisions:

Each scene displays quality information in the Review step:

• Quality score — Numerical quality rating from the automated reviewer
• Review notes— Textual feedback on the clip's quality
• Retry count — How many review/retry cycles this scene has been through
• Duration match — Whether the actual duration matches the planned duration
• Generation history — Full history of generation attempts and their outcomes

Projects with uploaded audio include a waveform editor on the Review page. It changes scene cut timing without modifying faces or replacing the original generated clips.

• Draggable boundaries — Move the cut between adjacent scenes while preserving full audio coverage
• Word snapping — Boundaries snap to nearby aligned word starts and ends
• Duration warnings — Highlights scenes whose new window is longer than the generated video clip

Shot-by-shot review cannot see that the story stops making sense between two good shots, that the lead's jacket changes colour, or that the ending lands on nothing. After the shots are reviewed, the Producer reviews the whole film once, on seven dimensions: story causality, pacing, identity continuity (people, wardrobe, props, locations), motion and lighting continuity, dialogue and voice continuity, typography, and the ending. Every score cites the shots that are its evidence.

• Blocks delivery: a hard defect (a missing or broken shot, prohibited content, a story that cannot be followed). No averaged score hides it; the film is labelled a draft with findings until it is fixed or explicitly accepted.
• Fixable: a quality finding a repair or a shot revision addresses.
• Creative call: preference you may accept as is.

Measured facts (a shot that failed generation, a clip far off its planned length) are recorded even when the reviewer is unavailable, and the review says so instead of pretending.
