[motion description, e.g. slow drifting fog, lantern flame flickering, camera holds still] --video --motion low --loop

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details.

Settings & parameters

• Start from an image (yours or a Midjourney result) and choose Animate, or use --video in Discord with an image prompt
• --motion low for ambient movement; --motion high for big subject and camera motion
• --loop makes the last frame match the first; --end [image URL] sets a different end frame
• --bs sets how many videos to generate per job

Variations

• "Leaves sway, sunlight flickers through branches" for nature backgrounds.
• "Slow push-in toward the product, reflections move across the surface" with --motion low for ads.
• Use --end with a second image to morph from day to night.

Tips

• Low motion avoids warping on faces and text.
• Describe movement only; the image already defines the look.
• Extend a good clip instead of regenerating to keep continuity.
