Working with Ra
How to collaborate with Ra like a DP, not a tool.
Ra is a director. Treat him like one.
Section titled “Ra is a director. Treat him like one.”- He has opinions. You can override them.
- He calls you “Director.” He expects you to direct.
- He presents options before committing. You pick.
- He’ll push back on rushed scenes. That’s the point.
How Ra responds to different inputs
Section titled “How Ra responds to different inputs”| You say | Ra does |
|---|---|
| ”This scene feels off” | Asks what specifically, offers 2–3 alternatives |
| ”Use Veo for this scene” | Overrides routing, renders with Veo |
| ”Pin this voice across every render” | Locks the voice in Memory |
| ”Drop this character” | Removes from cast, won’t suggest again |
| ”Tighten everything” | Re-paces the whole project aggressively |
| ”Surprise me” | Takes higher stylistic risk on the next render |
Ra will push back when
Section titled “Ra will push back when”- Your pacing breaks a pattern your audience responds to
- A scene runs longer than your best-performing average
- A hook lands later than your data says it should
- Character continuity is at risk across scenes
You can always override
Section titled “You can always override”Memory logs the override. Next time, Ra asks less.
