PromptEN537 characters
Black-and-white handheld documentary shot, photorealistic live action. 3am in a 24-hour laundromat. An adult woman sits cross-legged on top of a running washing machine wearing an oversized men's denim jacket open over a black sports bra and cotton boy shorts, bare legs, big headphones on, nodding along to music while the machine vibrates under her. She tips her head back, mouths the lyrics, then hops down and pulls open the dryer door. Fluorescent tubes overhead, wet floor reflections, grainy monochrome 16mm, loose handheld drift.Written in English, exactly as we sent it.

Why this prompt works
The second clip on this page, request and all. Same five seconds, 720p and 16:9 as the shot above it, but the prompt asks for monochrome 16mm and a loose handheld drift — a reminder that stock and camera behaviour are prompt decisions here, not settings.
Settings used
| Setting | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| resolution | 720p | 480p, 720p or 1080p, default 720p, and it feeds directly into the billed quantity. Iterate on prompts at 480p or 720p and raise the tier only for the final take. The tier you pick is the tier the model renders at — there is no upscaling or enhancement step layered on top. |
| aspect_ratio | 16:9 | Defaults to `adaptive`, which lets the model choose the framing from the prompt — say "vertical short-form" and you will usually get a vertical composition. Lock a shape explicitly only when the delivery slot demands it (9:16 for feeds, 16:9 for landscape, 21:9 for widescreen); otherwise adaptive tends to compose more naturally. No effect on billing. |
| generate_audio | true | On by default. Produces a native soundtrack synchronized to the picture — voice, room tone, movement effects. Switch it off whenever the edit will carry its own music or narration: it stops the generated track from clashing with the one you add later. |
| duration_seconds | 5 | 4 to 30 seconds, default 5. The 30-second ceiling is the substantive change in this generation: a complete shot fits in one request instead of being chained together from closing frames. Length scales the billed quantity linearly, so confirm the motion and pacing at 5 seconds before going long. |
