Best Practices

Master Prompt Writing

Writing effective prompts is key to generating high-quality AI videos. Follow these guidelines to get the best results.

Be Specific and Detailed

❌ Poor: "A car"
✅ Good: "A red sports car driving along a coastal highway at sunset, ocean waves visible in the background, cinematic camera angle"

The more details you provide, the better the AI can understand your vision:

Subject: What's the main focus?
Action: What's happening?
Environment: Where is it taking place?
Mood/Style: What's the atmosphere?
Camera work: Any specific angles or movements?

Use Descriptive Language

Include sensory details and emotions:

Visual: Colors, lighting, textures
Movement: Speed, direction, dynamics
Atmosphere: Mood, feeling, ambiance

Example:

A majestic waterfall cascading down moss-covered rocks in a lush rainforest, 
golden sunlight filtering through the canopy, mist rising from the pool below, 
peaceful and serene atmosphere, slow camera pan

Specify Style and Quality

Add style modifiers to guide the aesthetic:

"cinematic style"
"professional commercial"
"documentary footage"
"4K quality"
"smooth camera movement"

Image-to-Video Best Practices

When using image-to-video mode, follow these tips for better results.

Choose the Right Images

✅ Good Images:

High resolution (at least 1080p)
Clear subject
Good lighting
Interesting composition
Room for motion

❌ Avoid:

Blurry or low-quality images
Overly complex scenes
Very dark or overexposed images

Describe the Motion

Tell the AI how the image should come to life:

For Portraits:

Make the person smile naturally, hair gently moving in a soft breeze, 
eyes looking slightly to the left, warm and friendly atmosphere

For Landscapes:

Clouds slowly drifting across the sky, trees swaying gently in the wind, 
water rippling in the foreground, peaceful movement

For Objects:

Product rotating slowly to showcase all angles, dramatic lighting, 
professional product photography style
