Best Practice

A quick guide to getting the best results — what to upload, what to avoid, and how to brief your story.

Overview

Getting started

This guide walks through everything that makes a generation succeed — from the photo you upload to the story you brief.

Skim the topics on the right, or read top to bottom. It takes about five minutes.

Product images

Product photos that work

Start from a clean, well-lit shot of your product. The clearer the source, the more faithful the result.

Plain, uncluttered background
Sharp focus, even lighting
Product fills most of the frame

Photos to avoid

These make it hard to isolate your product and usually lead to weaker results.

Busy or distracting background
Blurry or low resolution
Heavy watermarks or text

Topics we don't cover

To keep results safe and brand-friendly, a few categories are out of scope.

  • Regulated goods aimed at the wrong audience
  • Medical or health claims
  • Real public figures and look-alikes
  • Anything hateful, explicit, or unsafe
Constraints

Limits & constraints

A few practical boundaries to plan around as you generate.

  • Short-form clips, optimized for ads
  • A handful of scenes per video
  • 720p and 1080p output tiers
  • One product per generation
Storytelling

Writing a great story prompt

The story prompt steers the narrative. Be concrete about the feeling, the moment, and the payoff.

  • Lead with the single idea you want to land
  • Describe the mood, not just the facts
  • Name the setting and the moment
  • Keep it short — one strong beat beats five weak ones
