Generation Modes

The generation mode is one of the most impactful settings for your project. It shapes how scenes are planned, how visual prompts are crafted, and what kind of video is produced.

Available Modes

Music & Live

Performance

Designed for music videos centered on a performer or vocalist. The pipeline plans scenes around stage presence, vocal delivery, and audience engagement. When speech alignment is available, this mode injects lip-sync cues into video prompts so the generated performer appears to sing along.

Best for: music videos, live performance visuals, artist content

Narrative

Story

Plans a narrative arc with characters, settings, conflict, and resolution across scenes. The treatment builds dramatic progression that follows the music's emotional curve — building tension in verses, peaking at choruses, and resolving in the outro.

Best for: narrative music videos, short stories, emotional pieces

Commercial

Advertising

Optimized for commercial and branded content. Scenes are planned around product shots, brand identity, call-to-action framing, and commercial pacing. Reference images are especially valuable here for maintaining product consistency.

Best for: product launches, brand videos, commercial spots

Animation

Anime

Applied anime visual conventions throughout: dynamic poses, expressive character reactions, stylized environments, speed lines, dramatic lighting, and characteristic anime cinematography.

Best for: anime-style music videos, animation, fan content

Art & Cinema

Short Film

Plans cinematic compositions with atmospheric lighting, deliberate pacing, minimal dialogue, and visual storytelling. Prioritizes mood, composition, and cinematic language over narrative exposition.

Best for: art films, mood pieces, cinematic experiments

Factual

Documentary

Plans observational scenes with natural lighting, diverse locations, informational composition, and a documentary visual language. Emphasizes realism, environmental context, and authentic human moments.

Best for: documentary-style videos, factual content, social media

Choosing a Mode

The mode is set at project creation and applies to the entire project. Consider:

  • Performance mode is the default for music-led content and produces the best results when the audio has vocals.
  • Story mode works best with tracks that have a clear emotional arc (tension → release).
  • Advertising mode pairs well with reference images of the product or brand.
  • Modes can be changed by updating the project settings before regenerating the treatment.
