Media Parameters

Reference for image and video generation parameters — model, size, steps, guidance, seed, duration, and provider options.

Parameters exposed by the Image and Video generation studios. Availability depends on the connected engine; administrators set the defaults (Images (Admin), Videos (Admin)).

Image parameters

ParameterMeaningGuidance
ModelThe generation engine behind the picture.Choose by style need (photoreal vs illustration vs speed).
Size / resolutionOutput dimensions, e.g. 512x512, 1024x1024, or an aspect ratio.Match the destination: 16:9 banner, 1:1 post, 9:16 story.
StepsIterations of refinement.More detail, slower. ~20–30 drafts, 40–50 finals.
Guidance / CFGHow literally to follow the prompt.High = literal but stiff; low = looser and more surprising.
SeedRandomness start.Fix to reproduce; randomise for variations.
Number of imagesVariations generated per run.Generate a few and choose.
Negative prompt / exclusionsWhat to keep out ("text, watermark, blur, extra fingers").Often the most useful control.
Style / presetEngine-specific style packages.Reuse team presets for consistency.
Input image (image-to-image)Starting picture to transform or animate from.Use for edits and restyle.

Video parameters

ParameterMeaningGuidance
ModelVideo engine — strengths vary widely.Test with one clip before committing.
Size / resolutionOutput size, e.g. 1280x720.Match the playback context.
Duration / lengthClip length in seconds.Keep short; regenerate rather than lengthen.
FPSFrames per second.Defaults are fine; higher costs more.
Image-to-video start frameAttach a still to animate.Best composition control — generate the still first.
Motion / camera descriptionsPrompt-level motion cues.Describe one action per clip.
SeedReproducibility across takes.Fix it when a take is close.

Writing better prompts (both)

  1. Subject → setting → style → lighting → (motion), in that order.
  2. State what to exclude via the exclusion field.
  3. Iterate in small increments — one change at a time so you learn what works.
