Before you begin

Prepare one scene, one main action, and one camera move. This lesson uses text-to-video; no image or video upload is required.

A continuous shot with a readable beginning, action, and ending. Duration, quality, and cost depend on the current model controls.

  1. 01

    Define one simple event

    Start with who does what and where, such as a pedestrian passing a museum. Avoid combining running, turning, aerial views, and explosions in the first version.

    CHECK THIS

    The subject action fits into one sentence.

    Open video workspace
  2. 02

    Describe the camera separately

    Add one camera move and a framing distance. The example uses sideways tracking and a medium shot. You can change it to a static camera without adding another move.

    CHECK THIS

    The subject and camera directions do not contradict each other.

    Check video model settings
  3. 03

    Review before generating

    Use the prompt, choose a supported ratio, and review the estimated credits. Unavailable duration, keyframe, or audio controls are not part of this workflow. Text direction is not a precise timeline.

    CHECK THIS

    Pricing is confirmed and the prompt describes one main shot.

    Edit and review the shot
  4. 04

    Watch the whole clip before iterating

    Watch the entire result for anatomy, speed, background, and ending. Reuse the input from the creation detail and change the problematic action. Do not resubmit automatically after a temporary network interruption.

    CHECK THIS

    Motion direction and setting stay coherent from start to finish.

What to check and change

The clip cuts to another scene

Shorten the scene, keep one person and action, and specify a continuous shot. Avoid requesting multiple locations in one prompt.

Motion is too fast or confused

Give the subject and camera separate directions, remove extra orbiting or zooming, and test a simpler move.
