Prompting Tips
- 1SVD is primarily image-to-video — start with a strong reference image
- 2Works best for camera motion and subtle scene animation
- 3Combine with ControlNet for more precise motion control
- 4SVD-XT generates 25 frames vs. standard 14 frames
- 5Use motion_bucket_id to control the amount of motion
Syntax & Constraints
Image-to-video model. Input: reference image. Parameters: motion_bucket_id (motion intensity), fps, num_frames (14 or 25 for XT). No text prompts — driven by the input image.
