Pro Tips for Best Results
- Keep prompts concise but cinematic: specify lighting, motion, and emotion.
- Use reference images for consistent characters across clips.
- Combine camera directions (“slow zoom-in,” “tracking shot,” etc.) for dynamic composition.
- Avoid overly complex multi-scene prompts—stick to one action or setting per clip.
- If dialogue is critical, use quotation marks in the prompt for clearer speech output.
