Workflows
First and Last Frame Workflow
Use first and last frame anchoring when continuity matters more than free-form exploration.
First and Last Frame Workflow
This workflow is for transitions, reveals, and controlled visual movement.
Best For
- before and after scenes
- product reveals
- environment transformations
- character motion between fixed states
Workflow
- Choose a start frame with stable composition.
- Choose an end frame that resolves the action clearly.
- Write motion instructions for the middle, not a second story.
- Keep subject identity and scene logic fixed.
- Review for drift in the transition, not just the endpoints.
What Usually Goes Wrong
- the end frame introduces a different subject
- the middle becomes too chaotic
- motion style fights the scene objective
- the prompt tries to force extra narrative beats
Operator Rule
If the transition is the job, do not overload the clip with additional creative experiments.
