Frequently asked questions
Can I use a still of my set as a starting point?
Image to Video can animate a supplied image. Confirm the dimensions and scope for the selected model.
Does Act-Two need a performance recording?
It uses a driving performance along with a character reference. Test the setup with a simple action.
What is Edit Studio designed to change?
It applies Aleph to existing footage. Compare nearby details with the original when making a focused edit.
How much of the film should I test first?
Pick a difficult shot or one typical transition. Measure retries and review it in the real timeline.
When is Kling AI useful as a comparison?
Compare when the scene depends on start and end frames or on a short multi-shot sequence with audio.
Conversation AI Start™
What should I check next?
How can a film crew previsualize an overhead reveal without renting a rig?
Test clear camera and subject instructions in a short clip. Use the result to decide what the real shot needs.
How do I replace a small background prop without reshooting the scene?
Test a focused edit and view the output against the original at normal speed and frame by frame.
How does Act-Two handle a reference performance?
It transfers movement from recorded acting to a character reference, giving the motion a concrete input.
Where does Pika make a faster comparison test?
When a single playful effect on a still can settle the question without building a planned sequence.
How should I budget a series of generated insert shots?
Record credits and attempt counts for a usable insert, then estimate the number of similarly difficult shots.
Who gets value from image-led generation rather than text alone?
Teams with approved storyboards or style frames that need movement to match a planned composition.
What is the next step after approving a generated camera move?
Lock the edit points, inspect objects through the shot, and compare light and movement with adjacent footage.
