Video Create Mode

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

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

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.

Video Controls

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

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.

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.

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.

First & Last Frame Reference

First & Last Frame lets you guide the start and end of a clip with images. This is one of the best tools for continuity and extending clips across generations.

Why it matters

Video models are great at motion, but they can drift. Reference frames help anchor the clip.

Use it to:

• Maintain the subject’s identity and composition

• Steer the clip toward a specific end pose or moment

• Create smoother loops

• Extend sequences across multiple clips

How it works

• First frame reference: Sets the initial look and composition.

• Last frame reference: Guides where the clip lands.

Pro move for extending clips

1. Generate a clip you like.

2. Take the last frame from that clip.

3. Use it as the first frame reference for the next clip.

4. Repeat to build longer sequences with better continuity.
