For social media, use 9:16 for Stories/Reels/TikTok and 16:9 for YouTube.
Use negative_prompt to avoid unwanted elements like "blurry", "distorted", "low quality".
Keep the same seed for consistent style across multiple generations.
Start with 540p for drafts, then upgrade to 1080p for final production.

Notes

1080p does not support 10-second duration.
Audio generation adds processing time but creates fully finished videos.
For best results, be specific about lighting, mood, and movement in your prompt.
