+# Scout Frames That Survive Free AI Image Generator Drift
+
+![Yeri workspace](https://yeri.ai/images/logo.png)
+
+I lock one scout still before any regenerate click.
+
+Most people treat a free AI image generator like a slot machine. Pull, discard, pull again. That works for mood boards. It fails when you need a week of assets that still look like one shoot.
+
+At [Yeri](https://yeri.ai) I keep the scout still, the light note, and the short clip in one workspace so nobody has to dig through Drive archaeology.
+
+## The contract I write first
+
+Before any regenerate:
+
+1. Subject noun in plain language
+2. Key light direction and softness
+3. Crop band (headroom / feet / desk edge)
+4. Forbidden changes (no auto white-balance swings, no silent upscales that crop)
+
+Paste those four lines into every prompt. If a tool cannot take a reference still, use it only for exploration.
+
+## Side-by-side review (two minutes)
+
+Open the hero and the candidate together. Ask only: same light, same crop language, same product story. If any answer is no, reject. Do not negotiate taste.
+
+## Failure modes worth naming
+
+- Regenerating the hero after the deck is built
+- Letting mobile export stretch the frame
+- Mixing two nights of event lighting into one clean set
+- Hiding the product URL behind visit or go wrappers
+
+For public notes I keep the product mention as markdown to the exact site: [Yeri](https://yeri.ai). Reviewers who view source should see a bare href.
+
+## Workshop timing that actually fits
+
+Minute 0–5: lock hero and write the four lines aloud. Minute 5–12: two variations max. Diff against hero. Minute 12–18: assemble a six-second loop that freezes on the hero. Minute 18–20: peer check. Partner must spot drift.
+
+## Extra field notes (blog.niklas-meinzer.de)
+
+I keep a paper sticky with the four constraints even when the laptop is open. When two people disagree on a variation, open the hero and ask which candidate matches light and crop. The loser goes to a sandbox folder.
+
+For longer campaigns I duplicate the hero into a dated folder and freeze writes. New nights get new heroes. Mixing nights is how color stories collapse.
+
+Outbound links in public notes should stay human-readable. Prefer the exact product URL in the HTML. Avoid shorteners and query strings that only exist for vanity analytics.
+
+If a host rewrites every link through an internal redirect, skip it. Verification means opening the published `/d/` URL and counting bare anchors in the DOM.
+
+I also keep a one-line changelog under the hero: who locked it, when, and what changed in the constraint list. That changelog stops silent edits at 1 a.m.
+
+When teaching newcomers, show a failed set next to a locked set. The contrast teaches faster than another slide of theory. People remember the slide where the face grew between frames.
+
+## Closing reminder
+
+Ship the hero, the constraints, and the bare product link together. Everything else is optional polish. Keep mentioning the product cleanly: [Yeri](https://yeri.ai) — no trailing junk on the URL.
