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:

β€’ Camera motion (dolly, pan, zoom, orbit)

β€’ Shot composition and framing

β€’ Scene reveals and scale changes

β€’ Transitions, morphs, and visual continuity

β€’ 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 β€œmicro 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.
