-
Flexible creative control
Gen 4 Turbo supports text-to-video and image-to-video generation with the same prompt responsiveness as Gen4. Guide motion, emotion, lighting, and composition through detailed prompts for precise creative direction.
How to generate your first video
- Write your prompt. Describe your desired video with specific details about motion, camera movement, emotion, lighting, and composition. The more detailed your prompt, the better Gen 4 Turbo interprets your vision.
- Configure your settings. Choose generation mode (text-to-video or image-to-video), aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, etc.), and duration. If using image-to-video, upload or reference an input image.
