Step-by-step onboarding
The basic flow is simple: describe what you want, click generate, and wait for the output.
Follow these steps first, then iterate on prompts to improve results.
- Log in and open the creation screen.
- Write a clear prompt describing the scene.
- Set parameters as needed (style, duration, resolution). Start with defaults.
- Generate and wait for the output.
- Preview, download, or tweak the prompt and regenerate.
Tips that improve results
Specific prompts work best. Describe the shot, not a slogan.
Multiple generations are normal, not a failure.
Start simple and add details in steps.
- Example: futuristic city night, blue neon, slow push-in, cinematic.
- 1st run tests direction, 2nd adjusts details, 3rd refines output.
- Lock subject and motion first, then add camera and style.
Common issues and fixes
Failures, weak results, or slow loading are usually solved by simplifying prompts or avoiding peak hours.
- Generation failed: simplify the prompt or try again later.
- Weak output: add details like style, camera, or lighting.
- Slow load: use off-peak hours.
