Text-to-Video Tips
- Be descriptive about motion:
"camera slowly pans right","character turns their head","leaves rustling in the wind" - Specify camera style:
"drone shot","close-up","tracking shot","static camera" - Set the mood:
"cinematic lighting","golden hour","dramatic shadows"
Image-to-Video
Provide animage_url to animate a still image. Works best with:
- Clear subjects with implied motion potential
- Portraits (to add subtle head movements)
- Nature scenes (to add wind, water movement)
- Product shots (to add rotation or zoom)
