Your first generation
- Write a one-sentence brief. Name the subject, action and intended use. A five-second product detail is a clearer starting point than a complete advertisement.
- Open the official Everygen site. Sign in there, choose the video tool and select the model. This guide never needs your account credentials.
- Set duration, resolution and aspect ratio. Use 9:16 for a vertical draft or 16:9 for a horizontal draft. Confirm that your selected model and plan support them.
- Attach any references, then review the credit quote. Check rights to uploaded images and get consent for identifiable people.
- Generate once and inspect. Check the first frame, last frame, identity, geometry, text and sound. Save the prompt and settings alongside the output.
- Iterate with a fixed budget. Change the camera move or action, rather than rewriting everything. Stop when the attempt budget is spent.
Four model starting points
Seedance 2.5
Try it for: A deliberately paced product shot or a scene that needs more than 15 seconds. Start with a short draft before committing to a longer take.
Suggested starting settings: 5-second draft · 720p · 16:9. These are an example brief, not an output we generated.

Kling 4.0
Try it for: A shot anchored to a reference image. Upload media you have permission to use and specify which details must remain fixed.
Suggested starting settings: 5-second draft · 720p · 16:9. These are an example brief, not an output we generated.

MiniMax H3 Max
Try it for: A short moment where the action and its sound matter together. H3 Max Turbo is a separate option with different limits, including up to 1080p.
Suggested starting settings: 5-second draft · 720p · 16:9. These are an example brief, not an output we generated.

Grok Imagine
Try it for: A compact stylized idea. Keep the action readable and evaluate visual consistency before attempting more complicated motion.
Suggested starting settings: 5-second draft · 720p · 16:9. These are an example brief, not an output we generated.

What to check in the result
A successful render is not automatically a usable clip. Watch it once without sound, then listen without looking at the picture. This separates motion problems from audio problems.
| Check | What to look for | What to change next |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Does the subject change shape, color or face? | Simplify the action and reuse a clear reference. |
| Motion | Do objects intersect or hands multiply? | Use one action and a slower camera move. |
| Sound | Does speech match the intended words? | Shorten the line; separate dialogue from ambient sound. |
| Brand details | Is a label distorted or invented? | Avoid readable text in generation; add exact typography in editing. |
| Delivery | Is the framing right for the destination? | Confirm aspect ratio and resolution before generating again. |
Do not use a polished sample from a provider as a promise of the result you will get. The official model pages above offer real provider examples; our prompts are original and have not been run.
Keep retries in the budget
Record every attempt, including rejects. If a clip takes four attempts, its effective credit cost is roughly four times the cost shown for a single render, before editing and export costs. Use our cost calculator to compare that with your plan.
For a useful model comparison, keep the brief, duration, resolution and reference media constant. Compare usable outputs and total credits rather than one selected frame.
