Official tutorials

Step-by-step walkthroughs from the DreamOddly team, covering script, storyboard, characters and image generation.

Handheld, subtle or urgent

Choose handheld-subtle for documentary passages and handheld-urgent for chases or tense passages.

Settle, move, resolve

Let each shot settle before it moves and resolve before it cuts, giving the viewer a static beat to get oriented.

Sword dance in the moonlight

Under moonlight a sword dance lifts the dust off the ground, and every time the blade is sheathed it lands exactly on the drumbeat.

One clear motion per clip

Give each clip a single dominant move, a push or a lateral track or an orbit, instead of stacking a dolly, a spin and a handheld shake at once.

Unboxing, layer by layer

A locked high-value parcel is opened layer by layer, and what is finally waiting inside is not the product but a stranger's fingerprint.

Serve correct page meta

Confirm the public page carries correct title, description, and cover meta so link previews expand properly wherever the link is posted.

Youth drawing the buried sword

Lock three traits, tied-back hair, a worn cloth shirt and an old wrist scar, then let only his gaze move from hesitation to resolve.

Follow the subject (tracking-follow / gimbal-follow)

Use tracking-follow to trail the subject or tracking-lead to move ahead of them; both work for documentary and action.

Recycle the takes you drop

Return good takes that lose their slot to the asset library for later use instead of discarding them.

Arc and orbit

Use arc-left or arc-right for a short curved move.

Butterfly lighting (style: butterfly-lighting)

Place the key light above the lens for a butterfly-shaped shadow under the nose and a soft, symmetrical look, suited to women's beauty shots or S6 romantic close-ups.

Climbing as practice

Treat the climb to the summit as a discipline, threading morning fog and the first gold light on the peaks into one ascent.

The ferryman collects obsessions

A ferryman takes one lingering obsession from every soul he carries across the water, until he meets a passenger he cannot ferry.

The sword that only glows for its owner

In a burial ground of broken swords, a boy pulls free the one blade that lights up only for the master it chooses.

Check your balance first

Video generation cannot use promotional credits, which apply only to scripts and images.

Sweep for sync drift

Walk the cut shot by shot before export and check every mouth movement, action, and effect for drift, since this is a zero-tolerance correctness item.

Parallel crosscut

Alternate two storylines with parallel-crosscut to build mounting tension as they approach a meeting or collision.

Uniforms and workwear

For a clerk, caregiver, or fisher uniform, specify its color, pockets, and badges.

Run preflight

Run preflight before exporting and report this machine's real capabilities, since export compute is client-side, including supported codecs and resolutions.

Hold one screen direction

Fix the screen direction of a run or a cross before you design the shots, then keep every clip moving that same way.

Wide-angle perspective

Use a wide lens to exaggerate near-large, far-small perspective for impact and a stronger sense of space.

Land effects on the action

Place each sound effect on the exact frame of its action, a hit or a door closing, and confirm the alignment at frame level.

The last train loses one rider

On the last subway train every night, the same carriage is missing one more passenger than it was the night before.

Final check before delivery

Play the finished cut back after export and confirm all three: the opening hooks, the rhythm breathes, and the ending resolves.
