# Video Create Mode

Video Create mode is for artists who want more control over timing, motion character, and consistency.

### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#what-its-for)What it’s for

-   Directly generating video with video models
-   Getting repeatable results by controlling motion and evolution across frames
-   Building clips that you can extend or stitch together

### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#workflow)Workflow

1.  Switch Create mode to **Video**.
2.  Pick a video model / preset.
3.  Set your video controls (length, FPS, cinematic prompt, etc.).
4.  Optionally add **First & Last Frame** references.
5.  Generate, review, iterate.

> **Recommended workflow**  
> Start with defaults, then adjust one setting at a time. Small changes can have outsized impact in video.

### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#video-controls)Video Controls

These controls are specific to video generation and affect motion, detail, and consistency over time. (Exact names may vary by model.)

#### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#cinematic-prompt)Cinematic Prompt

The \*\*Cinematic Prompt\*\* helps guide how your scene moves and unfolds over time. Instead of focusing on what the scene looks like, it adds film-style direction such as camera movement, framing, pacing, and transitions to shape the visual storytelling.

You can use cinematic prompts to influence:

• Camera motion (dolly, pan, zoom, orbit)

• Shot composition and framing

• Scene reveals and scale changes

• Transitions, morphs, and visual continuity

• Overall cinematic mood and rhythm

To make this easy, you can choose from a curated set of cinematic presets, ranging from classic film techniques to more experimental and creative effects. Presets can be used as-is or combined with your own prompt for more control.

Steps

Controls how many refinement iterations each frame gets.

-   Higher steps can improve detail and stability
-   Higher steps also increase render time and cost

**Recommended:** Leave at the default unless you’re troubleshooting artifacts or aiming for maximum fidelity.

#### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#shift)Shift

Offsets how motion and detail evolve over time by subtly shifting the model’s internal sampling progression.

-   Small changes can affect pacing, emphasis, and how details emerge frame-to-frame
-   Larger changes can reduce repetition but may introduce instability

**Recommended:** Keep the default for most results.  
**Creative tip:** If you see repeating textures or looping “micro motion,” nudge Shift slightly and re-render. Tiny adjustments can break repetition without changing the whole look.

#### [#](https://docs.sogni.ai/sogni-create/studio/creating-videos/video-create-mode/#fps-and-length)FPS and length

-   Higher FPS can feel smoother but may amplify artifacts if motion isn’t stable

**Tip:** For social-ready clips, start shorter, then extend using First/Last Frame continuity.
