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
- Source image quality - Higher quality = better video
- Appropriate duration - Don't stretch beyond what's needed
- Consistent style - Match motion style to image style
- 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."
