FAQ
Do text-to-video jobs need an uploaded image?

No. You can start with text only; switch to image-to-video or multimodal references when you need fixed subjects or style.

How long should the prompt be?

Use 1 to 3 sentences covering subject, action, setting, camera, lighting, and format while avoiding conflicting style instructions.

Can I test direction at lower cost first?

Yes. Start with a 720p/5s or lighter draft, then upgrade quality or duration once the direction works.
