When to pick it

  • Drafts and prompt tuning — Mini or Fast.
  • The final clip — 2.0 or 2.5.
  • A clip about a specific person or product — 2.0 and newer: they take image, video and audio references.

Tip

Write the prompt like a director: shot size (close or wide), camera movement, action, light. For multi-scene clips, lay it out by timecode — "0s–5s: …", "5s–12s: …".
