# Repeated action as a rule

Motion / Subject motion and speed / Physics. Checked 2026-10-13.

An action that looks the same every time it happens.

- Use when: Sport technique, a product mechanism, a magic effect, a signature gesture.
- Phrase: rule for the whole video: she only pours from the left hand, one smooth tilt, never a splash; every pour follows it

## Watch out

- Define the mechanic once with fixed parts, speed and result; otherwise the model invents a new version per shot. (vendor; Higgsfield Seedance 2.5 prompting guide, read 28 Sep 2026)
