Generating Video
Video generation creates an animated clip for a scene block. It is a 3-step process.
Requirements​
scene_block:frame:generatepermission (for Step 1 and 2)scene_block:video:generatepermission (for Step 3)
Step 1 — Generate a Start Frame​
The start frame is the first image of your animation — it defines the visual starting point.
- Hover over a block → click the 🎬 film icon
- The video generation modal opens to Step 1
- Configure the image prompt (location, characters, composition)
- Click Generate Image
- When happy with the result, proceed to Step 2
Step 2 — Generate an End Frame (optional)​
The end frame defines where the animation ends. Without it, the AI will freely animate from the start frame.
- If you want a controlled motion (e.g. camera pan, character movement) → generate an end frame
- If you want free motion → skip this step
Click Skip to go directly to Step 3.
Step 3 — Generate Video​
With a start frame ready, configure the video parameters:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Prompt | Describe the motion — what should happen in the video |
| Negative Prompt | Things to avoid (blurriness, shaking, distortion) |
| Duration | How long the clip is (1–8 seconds) |
| Frame Rate | 24, 25, or 30 fps |
| Resolution | Width × height (e.g. 1920×1080) |
| Steps | Higher = better quality but slower (default: 28) |
| Guidance Scale | How strictly the AI follows your prompt (default: 3) |
| Seed | Set a number for reproducibility, or leave blank for random |
Optimize your prompt first​
Before clicking Generate, click Optimize Prompt — this rewrites your motion description into a format the AI model understands better. The prompt box turns green when optimized.
Generate​
Click Generate Video. This may take a minute. The video appears below the settings when complete.
Tips​
- Keep motion descriptions simple — "slow camera push in", "character turns head left" work better than complex descriptions
- Use the end frame for any motion that has a clear destination
- Seed — if a generation looks great, note the seed number so you can reproduce similar results
- Duration — shorter clips (2–4s) generate faster and loop more naturally
Deleting a video​
Click the 🗑 Delete button on the generated video card. Requires scene_block:video:delete permission.
Warnings​
- If there is no start frame, the Generate button is disabled — you must complete Step 1 first
- If there is no end frame, a note appears explaining the video will use only the start frame — this is fine, generation still works
