Expert Usage Tips
Tip 1: Use a lower motion value (e.g., 2–4) in your video settings to prevent the lanterns from morphing into unrecognizable shapes during movement.
Tip 2: If the garden looks too dark, add “soft rim lighting” or “glowing ambient light” to the prompt to help the AI better define the foliage edges.
Tip 3: For better consistency, generate a single high-quality frame first and use it as an Image-to-Video reference to maintain the lantern design.
Tip 4: Incorporate “slow-motion” into your prompt if you want to emphasize the grace of the swaying lanterns and the calm water reflection.
Tip 5: Use a “16:9” aspect ratio for cinematic landscape videos or “9:16” for vertical social media platforms to ensure the garden composition remains balanced.
