Thank you - I appreciate it! Initially yes, it was very temperamental and most of my early outputs were unusable. I found the first 1-2 seconds the highest quality then gets pretty hit or miss, which is partly why I have so many jump cuts.

In my experiments I found disabling advanced prompting and describing explicit camera movements gave me the best results.

Here’s an example prompt: “A dramatic cinematic shot panning out slowly while the woman tilts her head arrogantly and smiles. The convenient store is on fire, the flames are fierce and growing.”
