Inputs

Prepare these inputs before running

Prepare the required Motion direction, Aspect ratio, Duration, Resolution, at least one of Reference images, Reference videos (2–15 seconds total) before starting Reference To Video.
Use a small representative source first; keep an untouched original for comparison.
State one desired change and a measurable pass condition instead of combining unrelated requests.

Result checks

What a usable result should pass

Watch the full Reference To Video result for subject or identity changes between frames.
Check that the requested action and camera movement are readable rather than implied by a single frame.
Inspect the first frame, last frame, motion continuity, visible text, audio timing, and export duration.

Limitations

What this workflow may not guarantee

Generation can produce artifacts; inspect the result before publishing or delivering it.
Do not upload media or use a person, voice, logo, or copyrighted work without permission.
Short-video limits and source quality can prevent stable motion, faces, text, or audio.

Publish checks

What must work before publish

Required inputs are validated before a run starts.
Progress, errors, and retry state remain visible.
The result can be inspected before download.
Failed remote jobs do not consume credits.
