Basic Workflow

1. Write Your Prompt

Enter a descriptive text prompt in the main text field. The more detail you provide, the better the results.

Good prompt:

“The camera slowly pans across a misty forest at dawn, with rays of golden sunlight filtering through the trees”

Less effective:

“forest”

2. Choose a Preset

Select a preset from the dropdown to quickly configure parameters:

Preset	Resolution	Frames	Steps	Best For
Fast Preview	512×320	25	25	Quick tests
Standard	640×384	49	40	Balanced quality
High Quality	768×512	65	50	Best results
Portrait	384×640	41	35	Vertical videos
Square	512×512	41	35	Social media
Cinematic	768×320	49	40	Wide format

3. Generate

Click the Generate button. The button shows:

• Spinner while generating
• “Complete!” (green) when finished

4. View Results

• Queue sidebar shows real-time progress with step count
• History tab displays all generated videos with thumbnails
• Click a video to preview it with looping playback

Writing Effective Prompts

Include Camera Movement

"The camera slowly pans left revealing..."
"A drone shot flying over..."
"Close-up tracking shot of..."
"The camera pushes in toward..."

Describe Motion

"waves gently crashing on the shore"
"leaves falling in slow motion"
"clouds drifting across the sky"
"a person walking through..."

Specify Lighting

"at golden hour with warm lighting"
"under dramatic storm clouds"
"illuminated by neon city lights"
"in soft diffused morning light"

Add Atmosphere

"with fog rolling through the valley"
"rain drops falling on the window"
"dust particles floating in sunbeams"
"snow gently falling"

Using the Queue

Add Multiple Generations

1. Write your prompt
2. Click Add to Queue (instead of Generate)
3. Modify the prompt or parameters
4. Add more to the queue
5. Videos generate one after another

Batch Variations

Click the batch menu (stack icon) to:

• Generate 3 variations
• Generate 5 variations
• Each uses a random seed for different results

Queue Management

• Cancel the current generation with the X button
• Remove pending items from the queue
• Reorder items via right-click context menu
• Clear the entire queue with the Clear button

History Features

Browse Videos

• Thumbnails show a frame from each video
• Sort by newest, oldest, or prompt alphabetically
• Search prompts to find specific videos

Video Details

Click a video to see:

• Full video preview (loops automatically)
• Original prompt and negative prompt
• All generation parameters
• Timestamp and generation duration
• Seed value for reproducibility

Actions

• Show in Finder - Reveal the video file
• Share - Share via macOS share sheet
• Reuse Prompt - Copy prompt to clipboard
• Regenerate - Create again with same seed
• Delete - Remove video and thumbnail

Tips for Best Results

Start Small

• Use Fast Preview preset first
• Iterate on prompts quickly
• Only increase quality for final renders

Use Negative Prompts

Click the disclosure arrow to add negative prompts:

worst quality, blurry, jittery, distorted, watermark

Reproducible Results

• Note the seed value of good generations
• Enter the same seed to reproduce results
• Useful for making variations with slight prompt changes

Memory Management

• Higher resolutions use more memory
• Close other apps if you encounter issues
• The app automatically uses memory-efficient techniques
