Tips for Better Results

1. Detailed Prompts Work Better

# Instead of:
/generative video "a dog"

# Try:
/generative video "A golden retriever puppy playing fetch in a sunny park, slow motion capture, warm afternoon light, shallow depth of field"

2. Specify Camera Movement

/generative video "Aerial drone shot flying over a tropical beach, camera slowly descending toward the water"

3. Include Lighting Details

/generative video "Portrait of a person with dramatic Rembrandt lighting, dark background, moody atmosphere"

4. Reference Artistic Styles

/generative video "Cyberpunk city at night in the style of Blade Runner, neon lights, rain-soaked streets"

5. Use Quality Keywords

/generative video "Ultra HD, 4K quality, professional cinematography, cinematic color grading"
