Prompt Guidelines
Do
- Describe motion and action — “camera moves through forest”
- Specify mood — “peaceful,” “energetic,” “mysterious”
- Mention style — “cinematic,” “documentary”
- Use negative prompt when available — Exclude unwanted elements
Avoid
- Overly long prompts
- Conflicting style or motion
- Vague descriptions
Tips & Tricks
- 480p + silent for tests — Lowest cost (~0.16 credits/5s).
- Toggle audio — Turn off for drafts to save credits.
- 1080p for final — Use 480p/720p to iterate, then 1080p.
- Fixed camera — Use when you want stable, minimal motion.
- Last frame — Guide the ending if you have a target image.
