Images & videos / Beginner
Turn ideas into short videos
Choose one scene, one movement, and a duration that fits the model.
AFTER THIS GUIDE, YOU CAN
One short clip that can be played, reviewed and downloaded.
Before you start
- One scene idea.
- Aim ratio, for example vertical for mobile phones.
- Credits applicable to Generate Video.
Shape, resolution, duration: what is the difference?
Shape (ratio) is the ratio of the width and height of the frame. 9:16 looks tall, while 16:9 looks wide.
- Resolution = number of pixels
- Pixels are small dots that make up an image. Example of horizontal video: 1280 × 720 pixels (720p) and 1920 × 1080 pixels (1080p) are both 16:9. The second one has more pixels, not a longer duration.
- Duration = length of video or sound
- Example: a 5 second video finishes faster than a 10 second video. Still images do not have a playback duration. Duration options follow the available models.
- AI model = the engine that creates your result
- Each model can have different shape, resolution, duration, sound and cost options. Start from the options available on the tool, then read the cost calculations.
- Quote = the price shown before generation
- Check the SC (SCENRA Credits) amount before pressing Generate. Changing the model or settings may change the price. Academy exercises do not use credits.
These examples explain the terms. The available settings and actual prices depend on the SCENRA tool when you open it.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Follow one by one.
STEP 01
Select Generate → Video
Choose a suitable model. Frames uses start/end images; References uses references. Replace+Move replaces a performer using a photo and video; Video to Prompt turns video analysis into text direction. Check model support when switching modes.
One simple movement is easier to direct and review.

- Select Generate → Video
Choose a suitable model. Frames uses start/end images; References uses references. Replace+Move replaces a performer using a photo and video; Video to Prompt turns video analysis into text direction. Check model support when switching modes.
- Write short scenes
Describe the subject, action, environment, and one camera movement. Don't ask for a long story with lots of location changes in one clip.
- Set duration and format
Use the duration actually available on the model. If audio is an option, determine whether it is required. The ratio and resolution follow the settings list.
- Check prices then get started
Review final costs and run once. Tasks are processed on the server; check the saved status when you return to the page.
- Watch till the end
View the beginning, middle, and end of a clip. Look for deformed objects, strange hand movements, broken text, and unsolicited camera movements.
EXAMPLES TO TRY
Start with this prompt.
Change the product, name and details to suit your own. This example is not an automated command and does not guarantee the same results.
A single continuous commercial shot of a green product bottle on a natural stone pedestal. The camera slowly pushes in while soft morning light moves across the surface. Subtle leaf movement in the background, realistic reflections, stable product shape. No scene cuts, no added text.
TRY IT, THEN CHECK IT
Are you ready to move?
Perform or understand the following checks. Check honestly; This progress is to help you learn.
ONE SHORT QUESTION
The model only provides 8 seconds. The prompt asks for 30 seconds. What's right?
Avoid common mistakes
Request a video longer than the model option
Create several clips or choose a model that really supports these needs. Don't assume the prompt text changes the duration limit.
