Plan your shot
Start with text mode for a new scene, image mode to animate a photo, or reference mode to guide appearance and movement. Describe the subject and action first, then the camera and sound. For image mode, an ending frame can help define the final composition.
A useful starting point
Separate what each reference contributes. For example, use one image for the product and a short video for camera movement. Describe what should stay consistent instead of leaving the relationship between assets ambiguous.
Example prompt
A pair of running shoes on a wet city pavement at dawn. The camera tracks slowly past the shoes as a runner steps into frame. Close detail on the laces and sole, with light footsteps and distant city ambience.

PricingBefore you generate
Video references use a different credit tariff from text or image input. The quote can rise even when duration and resolution stay the same. Check the estimate again after attaching a video.
