Control Pika video parameters
Demo summary
The tutorial shows how to append parameters like aspect ratio (-ar), frames per second (-fps), motion strength (-motion), and camera controls (-camera zoom/pan/rotate) to Pika commands.
Step-by-step
- Type your prompt followed by a space gap to add parameters
- Use -ar followed by width:height to set the aspect ratio
- Add -fps to customize frames per second between 12 and 24
- Add -motion followed by a value from 0 to 4 to set motion strength
- Use -camera followed by zoom, pan, or rotate commands
- Add -gs followed by a value between 12 and 24 to set guidance scale
- Use -neg to define negative prompts for elements to exclude
Options
- Set camera rotation to clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW)
- Adjust camera pan to move right, left, up, or down
Watch out for
- 2K and 4K resolutions cannot be achieved; video is limited to approximately 1280x768 pixels
- If using reference images, aspect ratios must be close to the original or the video will be distorted
- Camera effects like zoom, pan, and rotate cannot be combined in a single command
Tips
- Use the camera parameter often as it can significantly enhance the quality of the generation
- Increase the motion value for higher intensity and speed in the generation
Highlights
“this camera parameter can significantly enhance the quality of the resulted generation so consider to use it often”
