10 Second Answer: How I Fixed It
- I started creating my notation JSON formatting.
- Shattered every thought Clear categories (scenery, camera, lighting, emotions, etc.).
- Added Seed values Locking style consistency across multiple shots.
- This structure was used to iterate – replacing small pieces while keeping the core stable.
The result? VEO3 finally started behaving like the creative companion I always wanted, not just another random generator.
The Problem: Creative Chaos in Cloud AI
Because I work on one MacBook Pro M2I can’t run open source tools like comfyui or WAN2.1 Locally my computer would melt internally and generations would take days.
It means I am dependent Cloud-based video AI Like Runway ML, Hello, or VO3. These platforms are powerful – but they’re also black boxes. You type your idea and hope the machine interprets it twice the same way. No node-based AI pipelines, just descriptive words cast into the black void.
No matter how many quick adaptations I tried, I couldn’t maintain character consistency, camera logic, or scene continuity. Each new generation felt like a reboot.
It was exhausting.
My Journey: From Guessing to Directing
The turning point came when I realized something simple:
AI doesn’t understand creativity – it understands Structure.
When I discovered JSON notation.
Instead of writing poetic sentences, I started Talking to the machine in your own language.
Here everything has changed:
This structure gave me a creative framework.
Now, I could only adjust Emotions or Lighting Without rewriting everything. I can keep the same badge for visual consistency across shots – like keeping the same actor and set between scenes.
For the first time, I wasn’t Guessing. I was Directing
Why does JSON indicate?
- This forces an explanation. You have to describe your scene logically — not emotionally — in ways that help you understand. You can even help define what you want, get creative ideas down on paper.
- This enables reuse. Each part can be changed, copied, or repeated without losing control. This really helps when you want to create an entire scene using VEO3.
- This adds stability. With seeds and categories, your visual world stays consistent between renders. The seed count was mind blowing when I figured it out.
- It is future proof. Structured indicators can easily plug into pipelines, automations, or even future API-based editors. You can even save hints for future use to speed up your process.
JSON bridges the gap between notation and Telling the human story And Machine logic.
Takeaways
- VEO3 is powerful, but raw text limits your control.
- JSON notation turns chaos into structure – and structure into repetition.
- Seeds + structural categories = consistency, direction and creative freedom.
- Once you learn to “speak data,” the black box begins to listen.
Structure is freedom
Ironically, I found my creativity at the same moment that I embraced structure.
JSON notation didn’t limit my ideas – it gave them a framework to grow within.
The VEO3 has finally become what I’ve always wanted: not a slot machine for visuals, but a camera I can live with for precision.
If you’re struggling to keep your AI videos consistent, try writing your next idea like data — not poetry.
Because sometimes, creativity speaks JSON.
