3. Camera & Motion Replication
Replicate camera movements, complex actions, and pacing from reference videos.
Best for: Cinematic sequences, action scenes, professional-grade shots
4. Creative Template / VFX Replication
Reproduce creative transitions, ad templates, and cinematic effects.
Best for: Commercials, social media content, viral clips
5. Story Completion
Auto-generate storylines from storyboard images or scripts.
Best for: Short dramas, narrative content, sequential storytelling
6. Video Extension
Extend existing videos forward or backward with smooth continuity.
Best for: Longer narratives, scene continuation, seamless transitions
7. Sound Control
Voice cloning, dialogue generation, and sound effect design.
Best for: Character dialogue, ambient soundscapes, immersive audio
8. One-Take Long Shot
Generate seamless long takes that flow continuously across scenes.
Best for: Cinematic tracking shots, continuous narratives
9. Video Editing
Modify existing videos: swap characters, alter plots, add/remove elements.
Best for: Revisions, creative variations, content iteration
10. Music Beat Sync
Synchronize visual rhythm precisely with music beats.
Best for: Music videos, promotional content, rhythmic commercials
Prompt Structure
Basic Formula
[Camera/Movement] + [Style/Mood] + [Subject/Action] + [Details]Example
A golden retriever running through autumn leaves, slow motion, cinematic lighting,
golden hour, wide shot, shallow depth of field, film grainTimestamp Storyboarding (for 13-15s videos)
0-3s: [opening scene]
4-8s: [main action]
9-12s: [climax]
13-15s: [closing shot]Advanced Techniques
Technical Parameters
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (horizontal), 9:16 (vertical), 1:1 (square)
- Frame Rate: 24fps (cinematic), 30fps (smooth)
- Color Grading: cinematic, cyberpunk, moody, fresh
- Lens Style: wide-angle, telephoto, macro, fisheye
Negative Prompting
Add at the end to exclude unwanted elements:
no watermarks, no subtitles, no text overlays, no blur, no artifactsMulti-Segment Stitching
For videos >15 seconds, split into 15s segments with explicit continuity points.

Tips for Best Results
Be Specific and Visual - "a woman in a red trench coat walks through rain-soaked neon streets" works much better than "a woman walking"
Use Timestamp Storyboarding - For 13-15 second videos to maintain control over each segment
Separate Dialogue and Sound - From visual descriptions for cleaner results
Specify Negative Constraints - At the end (e.g., "no watermarks, no subtitles")
Match Reference Styles - To your video theme (e.g., ink-wash style for Chinese historical themes)
For Videos >15 Seconds - Use multi-segment plans with explicit continuity points
