How It Works
When you click a recipe, it loads into your Prompt Bar with everything pre-configured:
Example: Orbital Reveal
- • Prompt: Product centered in frame with smooth orbital rotation...
- • Negative: static, jerky motion, boring, low contrast, text, watermark
- • Format: 9:16 vertical
- • Duration: 4 seconds
- • Audio: On
- • Presets: FPV camera, Macro lens, Hard studio lighting
Some recipes require a starting image—the app automatically opens the image picker when needed.
From there, you can generate immediately or tweak any setting before generating. Recipes give you a starting point that works—you decide how much to customize.
