Fix a failed take / Seedance / unwanted cuts
Seedance adds cuts or jumps to a new scene: how to fix it
The clip cuts to a new angle or jumps to another place when you wanted one continuous shot.
Why it happens
- The prompt describes more than one location or shot.
- Several state changes in one stage.
- Asking for one take while also writing "cut to" or "transition to".
Fixes, in order

Keep one location and one main change per generation; put a second location in its own clip.
