Four AI video-editing tells and how to fix them, from scene-locked graphics to jiggly counters

tetsuoai shares fixes for four common problems when editing video with Grok Bot or Claude:
- Graphics pinned to the screen, not the scene: track background motion per shot (ignore people) so labels follow their targets; titles and counters stay fixed. He cites a 1995 NASA Ames study: pilots reacted 2.5s slower when flight symbols sat on a HUD instead of the instrument panel — symbols must move like the world.
- Dark scenes banding on X/YouTube: compression breaks smooth gradients; smooth them before adding grain.
- Jiggling counters: digits vary in width across fonts; put each digit in a fixed-width slot.
- Soft shots mismatching the edit: measure sharpness per shot and regenerate the softest one.
