Tips for Better Results

High-Quality Reference Images: Use clear, high-resolution images for better video quality
Appropriate Image Dimensions: Ensure images meet minimum size requirements (300px+)
Clear, Descriptive Prompts: Use specific descriptions to guide the video generation
Motion Description: Include details about desired movement and dynamics
CFG Scale Tuning:
- Lower values (0.3-0.5): More creative, less prompt adherence
- Higher values (0.7-1.0): More prompt adherence, less creative variation
Negative Prompts: Specify unwanted elements to improve quality
Duration Planning: Use 5 seconds for quick concepts, 10 seconds for more complex scenes
Quick Prototyping: Ideal for rapid concept testing and social media content
