Choose the job for the clip
Decide what the clip needs to communicate and where it will be used. A product detail, an atmospheric shot and a character moment need different movement. Pick the aspect ratio and a realistic shot idea before choosing a model.
Check the reference
Use a clear image with a subject that reads well at the intended crop. Inspect faces, labels, hands and edges before animating. A flaw in the still image can become harder to correct in motion. Keep the original reference and make sure you have permission to use it.
Describe one main action
Separate subject movement from camera movement. A useful starting brief might be:
A slow camera push toward the bottle. The bottle stays upright on the table. Soft side lighting remains steady. Keep the label facing forward and the background calm.
Avoid asking for an orbit, zoom, scene change and several actions in the same short shot. Start with the simplest movement that communicates your idea. Available durations, reference types and audio options vary; check the selected model in Video Studio.
Inspect the whole result
Watch at normal speed and inspect the beginning and end. Look for changing product shapes, drifting text, extra limbs, sudden cuts and movement that contradicts your brief. Review any generated audio separately. Do not assume a successful job status means the clip is ready to publish.
Iterate with a reason
If the subject changes too much, simplify the action or improve the reference. If the camera is wrong, rewrite the camera instruction. Change one factor at a time and review the displayed credit cost before a new paid attempt.
For a sequence, define the role of each shot and inspect continuity between them. Add reviewed titles, voiceover or music in the appropriate editing workflow. Check the final export format and playback on a phone before delivery.
