Tips for Better Results

Writing Effective Prompts

The quality of your AI-generated video depends largely on how well you describe what you want. Here are some tips:

• Be specific: Instead of "a person running," try "a professional athlete sprinting in slow motion on a sunny beach"
• Include style details: Mention the mood, lighting, or cinematography style you want
• Use descriptive language: Rich, vivid descriptions lead to better results
• Reference examples: Compare your desired output to known styles or references

Using High-Quality Source Images

If you're generating video from images:

• Use high-resolution images (at least 1080p)
• Ensure good lighting and clear subject matter
• Avoid overly busy or cluttered backgrounds
• Test with different images to find what works best
