Expert Usage Tips
1. Always use a high-resolution hero image as your reference to ensure the AI maintains exact product geometry and logo clarity.
2. Adjust the ‘Motion Bucket’ or ‘Motion Intensity’ setting in your AI tool to 5-7 for a smooth, professional commercial pace.
3. Use the seed number from a successful generation to maintain character or lighting consistency if you need to create multiple related clips.
4. If the product morphs, decrease the ‘image influence’ or ‘reference strength’ slightly to allow the AI more creative freedom within the defined structure.
5. Experiment with specific camera focal lengths in the prompt; using a 100mm lens will always create a more premium, compressed look than a wide-angle lens.
