Video Generation Pro Tips

Advanced techniques for cinematic quality results.

Matching Your Image Style

The video inherits the style of your source image. For best results:

  • Generate high-quality source images
  • Use consistent lighting descriptions
  • Maintain style keywords across frames

Cinematic Motion Recipes

Dramatic Reveal:

"Slow dolly forward, gradually revealing the subject. Atmospheric particles float in light beams. Subtle camera shake. Cinematic pacing."

Action Chase:

"Fast tracking shot. Camera follows subject at running speed. Motion blur on periphery. Dynamic, energetic movement."

Emotional Moment:

"Static camera with subtle push in. Subject's micro-expressions visible. Breathing motion. Intimate, still atmosphere."

Establishing Shot:

"Wide crane shot slowly descending. Reveals scope of location. Environmental elements move naturally. Epic, sweeping motion."

Handling Limitations

Avoid:

  • Extreme close-ups on faces (may distort)
  • Very fast action (hard to generate cleanly)
  • Multiple subjects moving differently
  • Physically impossible movements

Works best:

  • Single subject focus
  • Subtle, natural motion
  • Environmental animation
  • Steady camera movements

Quality Optimization

  1. Source image quality - Higher quality = better video
  2. Appropriate duration - Don't stretch beyond what's needed
  3. Consistent style - Match motion style to image style
  4. Simple is often better - Complex motion can look unnatural

Creative Techniques

Cinemagraph style:

"Single element moves (hair, water, leaves). Rest of scene perfectly still. Subtle, hypnotic loop-style motion."

Dramatic slow-mo:

"Extremely slow motion. Every detail visible. Time seems to freeze. Particles hang in air."

Documentary feel:

"Handheld camera, slight shake. Natural, observational motion. Authentic, unpolished style."
