Pro Tips

Use a source video with a clear ending frame for smoother continuation.
Be explicit about what should happen next, including subject action, camera motion, lighting, and atmosphere.
Keep prompts visually concrete, such as “camera slowly pushes in,” “the subject turns and walks away,” or “fog begins to roll in.”
Use 720p for quick testing, then switch to 1080p for higher-resolution output.
Reuse the same seed when you want more reproducible generations.
Start with shorter durations to validate continuity before generating longer clips.
