2

Generate a draft clip

Mini turns your text or image reference into a short motion clip in seconds. Review the composition, pacing, and motion direction immediately.

3

Iterate and refine

Adjust the prompt, try a different angle, or change the reference image. Mini is built for fast iteration so you can explore multiple directions quickly.
