Expert Usage Tips
Use a high-quality reference image of your specific mooncake to ensure the AI preserves the brand’s unique logo or design patterns.
Adjust the [lighting_intensity] to match your brand’s color palette; cooler tones feel more modern, while warmer tones feel more traditional.
If the AI struggles with character consistency, use the “Character Reference” feature in tools like Runway or Midjourney to lock the face structure.
For social media, set your project aspect ratio to 9:16; for cinema or landscape displays, use 16:9 or 21:9.
Always render at the highest available frame rate (at least 24fps) to ensure the cinematic motion remains fluid and professional.
