Tips for Better Visual Results

Use Specific Prompts

The single biggest factor in video quality is prompt quality. Specific, detailed prompts produce better results than vague ones. See Writing Effective Prompts and Prompt Writing Best Practices.

Specify Colors Precisely

Use hex codes or specific color names rather than generic terms:

  • Instead of "blue background" → "deep navy background (#0f172a)"

  • Instead of "colorful" → "coral (#ff6b6b), teal (#4ecdc4), and warm yellow (#ffe66d)"

Use High-Quality Images

When uploading your own images:

  • Use PNG for logos and graphics (supports transparency)

  • Use high-resolution images (at least 1080p)

  • Avoid blurry or compressed source images

Keep Animations Purposeful

More animation isn't always better:

  • Every animation should serve a purpose (draw attention, show sequence, create mood)

  • Subtle, smooth animations often look more professional than flashy ones

  • Consistent timing across elements creates a polished feel

Optimal Video Duration

Use CaseRecommended Duration

Social media clip

5–15 seconds

Product feature highlight

15–30 seconds

Explainer video (single scene)

20–45 seconds

Full presentation (multi-clip)

1–3 minutes

Shorter videos tend to render faster and maintain viewer attention better.

Browser Performance Tips

For the best preview experience:

  • Use Chrome — Best compatibility with the preview player

  • Close unused tabs — Free up browser memory for smoother playback

  • Use a modern device — Complex animations preview better on newer hardware

  • Don't judge by preview alone — The exported video is always higher quality than the browser preview

Recommended Export Settings by Platform

Social Media (Instagram, TikTok, Twitter)

  • High resolution for crisp visuals

  • Keep videos under 60 seconds for best engagement

  • Consider aspect ratio requirements (9:16 for Stories/Reels, 1:1 for posts)

Presentations (PowerPoint, Google Slides)

  • Standard resolution is sufficient

  • Keep individual clips short (10–20 seconds)

  • Use subtle animations that complement slide content

Website / Landing Page

  • High resolution for full-screen backgrounds

  • Loop-friendly animations (seamless start/end) work well

  • Keep file size reasonable for web loading

When to Use Batch vs. Single Generation

ScenarioRecommendation

Exploring a concept

Single generation — iterate through chat

Creating a multi-scene video

Batch — generate all scenes at once

Testing different styles

Single — try one style, refine, then duplicate

Producing a video series

Batch — generate all episodes together for consistency

Tips

  • Export is higher quality than preview — Don't worry if the preview looks slightly rough; the final render is polished

  • Iterate before exporting — It's faster to refine through chat than to re-export multiple times

  • Save your best prompts — When you find a prompt that produces great results, save it for reuse
