Advanced Techniques

​
Image-to-Video

Start with an image and add motion:
1

Upload Image

Upload or generate an image to use as the first frame
2

Describe Motion

Animate this image: camera slowly pushes forward, 
trees sway gently, clouds drift across the sky
3

Generate

AI creates video starting from your image
Image-to-video is great for bringing still concept art or photos to life.

​
Video Extension

Extend existing videos: 
Extend this video by 5 seconds, continuing the same 
motion and style
Useful for making clips longer or adding transition time.

​
Style Transfer

Apply artistic styles to video: 
Convert this video to look like a watercolor painting 
in motion, with soft, flowing brush strokes
Transform realistic footage into artistic renditions.

​
Text Overlay

Add text to videos: 
Create product demo video with text overlay: 
"Introducing the Future" appearing at 2 seconds
Combine video with text for marketing materials.

Best Practices

Begin with straightforward scenes:
  • Clear subject
  • Simple motion
  • Defined camera movement
  • Short duration
Build complexity as you learn what works well.
❌ “Things moving around”
✅ “Camera pans left while subject walks right, trees sway gently in breeze”Detailed motion descriptions yield better results.
Videos work best when motion is realistic:
  • Objects fall downward
  • Water flows naturally
  • Light behaves correctly
  • Movements have appropriate speed
Avoid requesting impossible physics.
Mention cinematography styles:
  • “Wes Anderson style”
  • “Nature documentary”
  • “Music video aesthetic”
  • “Commercial product video”
Helps AI understand visual language.
Generate videos with editing in mind:
  • Leave space at start/end for transitions
  • Consider how clips will sequence
  • Generate multiple angles of same scene
  • Create complementary B-roll

​
Limitations & Considerations

Current limitations:
  • Limited to 10 seconds maximum
  • Some complex motions may not work perfectly
  • Text in scenes can be challenging
  • Human faces and hands are improving but not perfect
  • Generation takes 1-5 minutes
  • Cannot currently include audio/sound

​
What Works Well

✅ Natural scenes (landscapes, water, sky)
✅ Simple camera movements
✅ Product showcases and rotations
✅ Abstract animations
✅ Architectural visualizations
✅ Weather and atmospheric effects

​
What’s Challenging

⚠️ Complex human movements
⚠️ Precise character animations
⚠️ Detailed facial expressions
⚠️ Text that must be readable
⚠️ Multiple interacting characters
⚠️ Very fast action sequences
