Expert Usage Tips
1. Use a high-quality reference image for characters to ensure consistency across multiple video clips. Keep the clothing and facial features identical in your source file.
2. Adjust your camera movement settings in the video model to “slow” to capture the intricate details of the candlelight and fabric textures.
3. If using Runway or Kling, prioritize the ‘Motion’ slider at mid-range to prevent the background from morphing or warping during camera pans.
4. For the best lighting results, specify “Golden Hour” or “Deep Night” in your prompt to control the ambient color temperature of the scene.
5. Always upscale your final video output using a dedicated AI tool to ensure the fine details of the festival decorations remain sharp and flicker-free.
