Why Every Shot in a Movie Shares the Same Model and Settings
The rule
Every shot in a Movie uses the same quality tier, resolution, aspect ratio and video model. You choose the first three when you create the Movie, and the model is fixed from your first shot onward. After that they don't change.
This is intentional. It protects both your results and your money.
Why it works this way
The finished video is joined, not re-made
When you export a Movie, your shots are joined into one video. For that to produce a clean file, all the clips must match in size and format. If one shot were at a different resolution or aspect ratio, the combined video could break or be refused.
It would be unfair to find out too late
If settings could differ, you could pay for several shots and only discover when you try to export that they don't fit together. Locking the settings up front prevents that. See stitching vs. downloading segments for how joining works.
It keeps the look consistent
Using the same model throughout helps your shots feel like one film instead of a collection of unrelated clips. Style, motion and detail stay in the same family.
It keeps the budget predictable
With quality and resolution fixed, every shot is priced under the same rules. Your budget preview is more reliable because it isn't guessing at changing settings.
What this means for you
- Choose carefully at the start. See how to start a Movie project.
- Test cheaply first. Try an idea in a small Budget Movie before committing to Premium.
- You can't switch tier mid-Movie. Starting on Budget and finishing on Premium isn't possible, which is the same rule as in a video chain.
What if I want different settings?
Start a new Movie with the settings you want. Shots from different Movies can't be combined inside SoulrisAI, but you can download them as separate clips and join them yourself in a video editor.
Does it limit creativity?
Not much. You can still change prompts, durations and whether a shot is fresh or continued. Only the technical settings that have to match are fixed.
