Choose a scene that fits the clip
Describe who is present, what moves and where the camera is. If the workflow starts from an image, make sure the objects needed for the action are already visible. Asking for an action involving a missing object can give the model conflicting directions.
An adult traveler stands beside a station window, holding a paper ticket. She turns toward the departure board. Slow camera push-in, soft evening light, one continuous shot.
Test a simple movement before combining several events. Keep the prompt consistent with the starting image and any selected action preset.
Length and quality affect the quote
Video needs active subscription access and the applicable balance or bundle allowance. Longer duration, quality changes, enhancement, extension and added audio are separate settings or actions. Review the total shown for the selection.
The coin-cost guide gives a standard short-video example. It is not a universal price for every model or export. Inspect the current control before adding more seconds to a completed result.
Image-to-video and GIF expectations
Use an image-to-video option only where it is offered for an eligible result. It is a video workflow, not a promise that every picture or upload is accepted. Review the source image before spending on animation.
A short clip and a GIF are different file types. Check the available download format rather than assuming a GIF export exists. A video-shaped preview on a page does not establish which file will be downloaded.
If generation fails
Keep the exact failure message and time. For an error marked Refunded, check the balance before submitting another request. Contact support if the action failed and the expected credit is still missing.
Use generation-error checks for a technical failure. For unwanted framing or motion, simplify the scene and revise one instruction rather than repeating the same complex prompt.
