💡 Usage Tips

For Best Results

  1. Be Descriptive - Include details about lighting, camera angle, movement
  2. Use Camera Controls - Try zoom in, pan, tracking shots
  3. Add Visual Effects - Cinematic lighting, slow motion, etc.
  4. Experiment with Styles - Realistic, anime, 3D render
  5. Keep Prompts Focused - One main subject or action

Example Prompts 

"A golden retriever running through a field of flowers at sunset, 
cinematic lighting, aerial view, slow motion"

"Ocean waves crashing on a rocky shore, dramatic lighting, 
zoom in, golden hour"

"A cat playing with a ball of yarn, close-up shot, 
soft lighting, photorealistic"

📈 Cost Estimation (Replicate)

  • Single video: ~$0.05-0.10
  • 10 videos: ~$0.50-1.00
  • 100 videos: ~$5.00-10.00

Note: Replicate gives free credits for new accounts!

🔒 Security Reminders

  • ✅ .env file is in .gitignore (API tokens safe)
  • ✅ Generated videos excluded from git
  • ✅ Log files excluded from git
  • ✅ .env.example provided for others

Never commit:

  • Real API tokens
  • Personal videos
  • Log files with sensitive data
