Make a result you can actually use
Start with one shot
Choose a source and composition that fit your intended post.
Control the brief
Plan an opening shot, a clear middle and a closing frame. Generate each shot separately, keep the same image references where appropriate, and export a vertical composition. A generated clip is not automatically a finished captioned Short or a scheduled YouTube upload.
Review before export
Inspect the whole result, especially faces, product labels and motion. Download files you want to keep.
