Include Technical Details
Specify camera movements, lighting conditions, and atmospheric effects in your prompts. Terms like "drone shot," "rack focus," and "golden hour lighting" produce better results.
Browse Past Creations
Access your previous videos easily through the "Recent" section in the Gemini interface. All your past chats and generated videos are saved for future reference.
Experiment with Styles
Try different artistic styles like "animated in watercolor style" or "shot like a Hollywood action scene" to achieve unique visual aesthetics for your videos.
