Start with a written description when you do not have a reference image. Describe the subject, setting, action and camera, and include dialogue, ambience or music in the same prompt. Text generation offers six aspect ratios for landscape, portrait and square formats. Select duration to see the credit quote before submitting.
Start from an existing character, product or scene image by uploading it as the first frame. You can also add a last frame to provide the ending image, then describe the action or changes you want between them. Upload order determines each frame’s role, and the output follows the first frame’s aspect ratio.
Build a video draft around a visual starting point, camera direction, native sound and your selected output settings.
A video idea includes more than its picture: what a character says, the sounds of a location and the role of music all contribute to the scene. Draft Mode generates native audio alongside video. Describe dialogue, ambience, sound effects and music in your prompt, then play the finished picture and sound together in the workspace. Review the result before deciding what to change in your next draft. Native audio is included in the generation quote.
Composition and camera movement shape how a subject appears on screen. Describe lighting, subject position, framing and camera direction as part of your video prompt. A wide view of the setting or a closer shot following an action can both begin as written descriptions. Review how the generated draft presents your input, then revise the prompt and create another result to compare creative directions.
When you already have a visual idea, frame inputs offer a starting point beyond text. Upload one first frame and describe the character action, object movement or scene changes you want. Add a last frame to also provide the ending image. Existing character images, product photos and storyboard panels can serve as inputs. The images provide visual references while your prompt describes how you want the video to unfold.
A draft can show a brief action or a short scene combining movement and sound. Select a duration from 4 to 15 seconds in whole seconds before generating. Duration determines the quote, which appears in the workspace before you submit. Play the completed draft to review its action and audio pacing, then choose the description and duration for your next generation.
Draft Mode produces 720P videos with 4–15-second durations, text or frame inputs and native audio. Describe the scene, action and sound, then select the duration and applicable aspect ratio for your draft. Generation costs 5 credits per second with native audio included. Review the workspace quote before submitting, then play and download the completed result for a creative review or an individual shot presentation.
Play completed videos in the workspace to review picture, action and sound together. Task history keeps your creation records so you can return to check progress and completed results. Download a video to include it in a creative review, storyboard presentation or editing workflow. Your next version can start from a revised prompt or frame inputs and is submitted as a new generation task.
