This week on Fix It In Prompt, Alex Villabon and Doug Hogan hit double digits with LTX VFX Week, Alpha Gen mattes, ACES/HDR workflows, and their latest MiniMax character-replacement and acting experiments. We talk about using agents to test, review, and refine those workflows—and why a quick test can miss what a model is capable of.
We also get into ArtCraft, Reverse Engineer Anything, video game mashups, personal agent toolboxes, Banodoco, Hivemind, Blender MCP with Seedance, Gods Don’t Give Gifts, and Ben Affleck’s InterPositive interview. Plus: Doug builds an LTX workflow library during the episode, and we talk about why sharing your experiments matters.
💬 What AI VFX workflow have you improved by testing past the first result? Share what worked—and where it still breaks.
