- Advanced Motion Dynamics – Accurately simulates camera motion, object interactions, lighting shifts, and depth transitions.
- Realistic Physics – Handles subtle natural effects — wind, fabric movement, reflections, and shadows — with organic consistency.
- Stable Composition – Keeps subject framing, proportions, and color tone stable across all frames.
- Cinematic Color and Lighting – Fine-tuned tone mapping for film-grade warmth and visual depth.

💡 Pro Tips
- Use camera verbs like “pan,” “zoom,” “follow,” or “orbit” to define motion clearly.
- Mention lighting mood — soft afternoon light, golden hour, neon reflections — for enhanced aesthetic control.
- Include emotion or atmosphere in your prompt to guide tone (e.g., serene, tense, romantic).
- For stable results across iterations, reuse the same seed.
- Pair your video with music or voiceovers for a complete storytelling experience.
