Start with the right input
Use text for exploration, a script for narration-led work, an approved image for identity or product control, and character references for recurring cast. The starting asset should express what must remain stable.
Write a shot contract
Specify subject, action, environment, camera, timing, light, sound, aspect ratio, and exclusions. For each scene, state the continuity carried in from the preceding shot.
Select and test a model
The official catalog can include Seedance, Kling, Veo, Sora, Wan, and Hailuo options, but names and availability are time-sensitive. Test the hardest shot, inspect usable seconds, and confirm plan access before scaling.
Review the full sequence
A successful clip can still damage the edit if its color, screen direction, costume, voice, or pacing breaks the story. Review both frame-level artifacts and the emotional logic of the complete cut.
