Tips for Best Results​

Prompt Writing​

Good: "Slow camera push into a coffee cup,
steam rising, morning light from window,
cozy kitchen background"

Better: "Slow dolly shot pushing in toward
a ceramic coffee cup with visible steam,
soft morning sunlight streaming from
the left, cozy modern kitchen, shallow
depth of field, cinematic"

Motion Guidance​

Include motion descriptions:

  • Camera movement (pan, zoom, track)
  • Subject motion (walk, wave, turn)
  • Speed (slow motion, normal, fast)
  • Direction (left to right, toward camera)

Quality Optimization​

  1. High-quality source images (for I2V)
  2. Clear, detailed prompts
  3. Appropriate model for final use
  4. Proper aspect ratio selection
