If the drift breaks the car, cut the swing and hold the tracking shot — a clean 10s track beats a broken drift in any edit.
Platform notes
- Two camera beats is the ceiling (track → swing), with the action change — the drift — placed exactly at the handover. A third beat is where Gen-4 starts blending moves into each other.
- Wet street plus neon is the most forgiving night look in AI video: mirror reflections fill the lower frame, so road-surface errors have nowhere plain to sit.
- Enhance: the car is described identically in both beats ('silver sports car'). Changing the wording between beats ('the vehicle', 'it') is how a silver coupe becomes a grey hatchback mid-shot.

Prompt
Banned list —Beat grid —Build method —Self-review —
A silver sports car races through a neon-lit city street at night, rain-slick asphalt mirroring the signs. The camera tracks alongside at door height, then swings to a front three-quarter view as the car drifts a corner, spray flying off the tyres. Cinematic automotive commercial, anamorphic lens flares.
