A storyboard-to-video gallop, then cutting it like footage

Another storyboard-to-video test with Seedance 2.0. I gave it one photo of a rider on his horse as the character reference and a text-free eight-panel storyboard for the composition, then let Seedance carry the gallop physics and the generated audio. The goal was one continuous golden-hour ride across open grassland, cut across eight angles, with a real four-beat gait and the suspension phase where all four hooves leave the ground.

Then I edited it like real footage. One shot recreated the reference photo too literally and did not belong, so I cut it. Pulling it exposed a screen-direction problem underneath: the horse ran left in one shot and right in the next, which reads as jarring. I mirrored the hero gallop so the whole ride travels one direction, then finished at 1080p through the Topaz API.
