    Expert Usage Tips<\/h3>\n
    \n

    1. If the video looks too chaotic, reduce the crowd density variable to focus on a single, more stable subject.<\/p>\n

    2. To achieve better depth, use a lower f-stop reference in your prompt to emphasize bokeh and foreground separation.<\/p>\n

    3. Always specify the time of day, as this drastically changes how the AI handles the lantern’s glow versus the ambient environment.<\/p>\n

    4. Use stable diffusion-based video models if you need to maintain specific architectural details from a reference image.<\/p>\n

    5. If the motion is too erratic, add “slow, deliberate motion” to the camera instructions to ensure smoother frame transitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
