Use it to assist, not to deceive or mislead. No deepfakes or likenesses of real individuals. Do not use AI to impersonate real people or create deceptive media. Respect privacy and identity boundaries. Avoid copyright issues. Don’t reproduce, imitate, or distribute content (like songs, artworks, or written works) that you don’t have the rights to. Respect data and privacy. Never share personal, confidential, or sensitive information in prompts. Cross-check the output. AI can sound confident but still produce errors or misinformation. Always verify facts. Avoid harmful or inappropriate content. Don’t use AI to create or promote anything abusive, biased, or otherwise unsafe. Keep human judgment in the loop. You are ultimately responsible for what you create, share, or publish with AI.

Examples Training Safety Training scenarios can be costly and difficult to stage safely, especially in hazardous or tightly regulated environments. With generated video clips, you can create realistic, controlled visual clips that simulate safety procedures. Example: Fire Safety Prompt:Medium shot and instructional cinematic shot for fire safety training. Inside a hallway filled with thick, realistic grey smoke billowing near the ceiling. A white-collar worker is demonstrating the "Low Crawl" technique, moving purposefully on hands and knees with their head kept low in the clear air zone near the floor away from the fire. The lighting is dim with a flickering orange glow from a distant fire source, creating a sense of urgency. The camera follows the person at eye level (low angle) in a smooth tracking shot. Create short, impactful visuals for training modules or internal communications. Ideal for demonstrating proper response techniques or safety awareness. Examples Fire safety Smoking Spillages protocol Location Specific Use a reference photo of your location to showcase events happening there. Example: Drone shot Prompt: A realistic aerial view of the scene in the image. The camera behaves like a drone, smoothly flying over and around the area, capturing the full landscape from above. Soft natural lighting highlights key details, with gentle motion and cinematic framing. Professional, clean, and visually engaging style, total duration 4 seconds, perfect for overview or location showcase. Filming on-site can often be expensive or disruptive, especially in controlled environments like laboratories or production facilities. Now, you can upload a photo of a specific location and generate a realistic video clip inspired by that space. Examples Laboratory Pharmacy Store Display Product Shot in MotionStatic product photos are great and motion helps products come alive. You can transform a single product image into a dynamic, eye-catching video clip that feels professionally filmed. Example: Display Enhancement Prompt: Place the bottle centered on dark volcanic rocks. Surround it with vibrant pink peony flowers and fresh red cherries. Add soft swirling smoke in the background with a dark, moody backdrop. Enhance lighting to be cinematic and high contrast, highlighting the red liquid and gold cap. Keep the same perfume bottle design and shape unchanged while upgrading the environment to a rich, high-end fragrance advertisement style. Take a basic product shot and enhance the display. Examples New backgrounds on a product shot Add non-realistic elements Exciting Interstitials These videos capture abstract concepts, so you can pretty much use text to video clip without starting references and generate something interesting to liven up your video or use between slides in a presentation. Example: Cybersecurity Prompt: Photorealistic, cinematic cybersecurity aesthetic, cool blue and teal color palette with high-contrast dramatic lighting, sharp focus, sleek modern technological atmosphere. A dark silhouette of a hooded figure sitting at a multi-monitor setup, screens displaying cascading green binary code, In the foreground, there is a digital visualization of a padlock. The digital padlock then shatters into pieces, and does not appear again. The camera pans slowly across the monitors. Great for abstract concepts like AI, goal setting, commuting and blurring reality.
