Expert Usage Tips
1. Increase the motion scale in your settings if you want more active movement from the smoke and flickering candles. Use lower motion settings for a more solemn, contemplative pace.
2. If the AI struggles with facial consistency, use an Image-to-Video workflow by uploading a high-quality reference image of the subjects first.
3. To achieve a more professional look, apply a subtle film grain overlay in post-production to blend the AI-generated frames seamlessly.
4. Use the “Negative Prompt” section to specifically exclude “modern technology” or “modern clothing” if you want to ensure the scene remains strictly traditional.
5. Experiment with the [time_of_day] variable; shifting from “twilight” to “deep night” will drastically change the contrast and color depth of your video.
