Integration Points

  • Google Slides Storyboard: Provides video embeds for presentations
  • Content Orchestrator: Receives video generation requests
  • Social Commander: Delivers platform-ready video content
  • Image Generation: Source imagery for video sequences

Quality Guidelines

Camera Movements

  • static - No movement
  • pan - Horizontal sweep (left/right)
  • tilt - Vertical sweep (up/down)
  • zoom - In/out movement
  • dolly - Forward/backward movement
  • orbit - Circular movement around subject

Lighting Styles

  • studio - Professional controlled lighting
  • natural - Daylight simulation
  • dramatic - High contrast, moody
  • soft - Even, diffused lighting
  • neon - Colorful accent lighting

Error Handling

Error Recovery
Generation timeout Reduce complexity, retry
Low quality output Enhance prompt specificity
Motion artifacts Simplify camera movement
Audio sync issues Regenerate with adjusted timing

Cost Considerations

  • Fuel Cost: 20-80 PTS per video
  • Optimization:
    • Use shorter clips when possible
    • Batch similar style requests
    • Cache reusable motion graphics
    • Generate at 1080p, upscale if needed
