Start with the preset
Every template has an intended effect. Leave the prompt blank on your first attempt if the sample already matches what you want. A blank customer prompt uses the existing template preset.
Describe one small change
Keep the instruction short and focused on visible movement, atmosphere or expression. For example: “gentle movement, relaxed expression, soft lighting.” Avoid a long list of conflicting directions.
Keep the instruction consistent with the effect
A customer prompt guides the result; it does not turn the selected template into a different model or add a setting the effect does not support. Choose another template when you want a substantially different scene.
Check the actual controls
Quality and duration choices come from the options available for the selected template. Writing a resolution or duration in the prompt does not replace those settings or their credit quote.
Review before spending credits
AI results can vary even when your input is the same. Check your photo, prompt and quoted cost before submitting. A repeated generation is a new job, so do not assume an extra attempt is free.
