CanvaTry it →Watch full video →The Pennywise Owl ·

Demo summary

The user demonstrates refining a Canva AI video by adding specific details like 'front view shot', 'blonde', and 'hyperrealistic' to the prompt to change the model's appearance and camera position.

Step-by-step

  1. Enter a detailed prompt specifying the subject, clothing material, and audience actions
  2. Define the camera angle by adding 'front view shot' and 'without any camera movement'
  3. Specify physical attributes like 'blonde' and 'wearing high heels'
  4. Add 'hyperrealistic' to the prompt to improve visual stability
  5. Remove background elements to focus on the model's generation first

Options

  • Simplify the scene by removing background elements before adding them back later

Watch out for

  • AI-generated videos may experience glitching at the start of the clip

Tips

  • Define more specific details within the prompt to see a clear difference in the generated output
  • Use 'hyperrealistic' as a keyword to help the prompt's quality
  • Focus on getting the shot of the subject correct before moving forward with complex background elements

Highlights

it is glitching at the start a bit, but I don't think that this is a very stable shot
