Expert Usage Tips
1. Always use a consistent reference image in the initial frame to prevent the AI from changing your character’s face or clothing between scenes.
2. Keep your scene descriptions short and focus on one primary movement or action to ensure the AI generator maintains high temporal consistency.
3. If you notice “morphing” or “melting” in the video, lower the motion intensity setting in your AI tool to prioritize visual stability over complex movement.
4. Use the “Negative Prompt” field to explicitly exclude “text” or “watermarks” to ensure your final footage is clean and ready for professional editing.
5. Experiment with different camera angles in each scene (e.g., POV, low angle, wide shot) to add professional pacing and visual interest to your final short film.
