Expert Usage Tips
1. To maintain character consistency, use a fixed seed and ensure the character’s clothing and cybernetic features are described identically in every scene.
2. Adjust the camera movement speed; slower, fluid movements generally yield more stable results in AI video models than rapid, erratic pans.
3. Use specific color keywords like ‘cyan and magenta’ to control the lighting mood; AI models respond better to concrete color palettes than abstract terms.
4. If the model struggles with complex architectural details, simplify the scene description to focus on one or two prominent visual elements like a large hologram.
5. For better temporal stability, use the ‘Image-to-Video’ function by uploading a high-quality static frame generated from the prompt to serve as a visual anchor.
