Notes​

  • Video generation requires processing time; results are not instant
  • More detailed prompts generally produce better results
  • Different models excel at different types of content
  • Generated videos are unique each time based on AI interpretation
  • Consider aspect ratio before generation (can't be changed after)
  • Video File URL provides downloadable access to generated content
  • Combine with Online Video Player for instant preview in workflows
