Understanding Generation Modes

• When you don't have reference images

How to use:

2. Write your prompt describing the scene
3. Choose your settings
4. Click generate

Example: "A butterfly landing on a flower in a garden, soft morning light"

Frames to Video

What it is: Generate videos using start and end frame images

• Creating consistent sequences

How to use:

1. Select "Frames to Video" mode

5. Click generate

Tips:

• The AI will create smooth transitions between frames

References to Video

What it is: Generate videos using reference images and style guidance

Best for:

• Matching specific aesthetics
• Using existing artwork as inspiration

Extend Video

What it is: Extend an existing video with additional content

• Making videos longer
• Adding continuation to existing clips
• Creating sequences
• Building on previous generations

How to use:
