Prepare and review keyframes
Generate shot images in the Shots stage after saving your storyboard. Each image is a chance to catch framing, character and style problems before producing motion. Review the images together, because a beautiful frame can still be wrong for the sequence around it.

Before you start
Use an approved storyboard and the intended aspect ratio. Have your character reference and concept nearby. Check the credit amount on each Generate action; creating images and creating scene videos are separate paid operations.
Steps
- Open the project, finish any Storyboard edits and continue to Shots. Read each scene description beside its image area. Confirm that the wording still describes the subject and action you want to see.
- Generate one image when you need to test a difficult composition. Use Generate all when the remaining scene descriptions are ready. The displayed amount reflects the relevant operation; review it before you submit.
- Inspect the face, clothing, hands, props and frame edges. Compare the color palette with neighboring shots. Use the character consistency checklist when the same performer appears more than once.
- If an image fails the check, revise the relevant description or regenerate the affected image. Use its version history to select the image you prefer. Confirm the selected version before continuing to Video and following the clip generation tutorial.
Worked example
For a wide bridge scene, the cyclist might need room on the right side of the frame to move forward. A centered portrait can look attractive but leave no space for that action. Fix the composition at the image stage rather than asking motion generation to invent missing space.
Check the result
You should have one selected image for every scene required by the next stage. Compare the first and last images as well as adjacent pairs. A change in costume or lighting can be easier to spot when you review the whole sequence without playing audio.
If something goes wrong
If Video remains unavailable, check that every scene has a selected shot image and that generation has finished. If repeated images crop the same prop, simplify the pose and describe the framing more clearly. Do not assume that a still image will preserve perfect anatomy once it moves; motion needs another review.
