Tips for Best Results

1. Start with Strong First Frame — A clear, well-composed first frame yields better motion
2. Adjust Motion Settings — Experiment with motion strength and camera path before generating
3. Be Patient — Video generation typically takes 2-3 minutes; you can work on other shots meanwhile
4. Try Multiple Attempts — Each generation is unique; regenerate if motion isn’t right
5. Review and Iterate — Watch the result, adjust settings, and regenerate until satisfied

⚠️ Processing Time: Video generation is computationally intensive. Most models take 1-4 minutes. You can navigate away from the page while rendering—Automat processes in the background.
