Expert Usage Tips
Use a specific “Character Reference Image” as your primary input to ensure the protagonist’s facial features remain identical across all four scenes.
Adjust the “Motion Strength” setting in your AI tool; lower values (2-4) are better for dramatic storytelling, while higher values (6-8) suit action sequences.
If you experience flickering, try rendering your video at a lower frame rate or use a “Temporal Consistency” filter provided by platforms like Runway or Kling.
Layer your final video with real-world sound effects in an editor like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve to
