Expert Usage Tips
1. Always use a consistent seed number if your AI platform supports it to maintain character stability across multiple takes.
2. For the best results, use a high-quality reference image of your subject to prevent identity drift during video generation.
3. Adjust the motion intensity slider to a lower setting if you notice unnatural warping or “melting” effects in complex scenes.
4. Use specific lighting keywords like “rim lighting” or “softbox lighting” to give your AI-generated subjects a more professional, studio-shot look.
5. If the video is too long, generate it in 3-second segments and stitch them together in an external editor for better control over timing.
