Choose your starting material before choosing a model. Text-to-video helps explore a scene; image-to-video starts from an approved frame; reference-to-video accepts the references its mode supports. Test motion and subject continuity across a complete clip, not only the first frame.
- Short campaign clips
- Start from image-to-video for an approved frame, or text-to-video for a script. Watch the entire clip for subject drift.
- Storyboard development
- Validate one action and composition per shot before judging continuity between shots.
- Motion concepts
- Test direction and pacing in a short shot. Include audio or reference controls only where the selected mode supports them.
