Randomness
Seed
A value that initializes the pseudo-random generation process.
Keep it fixed to compare prompt or parameter changes under similar starting conditions.
Seed behavior differs across models and versions.
seed: 48217Sampling
Sampling steps
The number of iterative refinement steps used during image generation.
Raise it only until additional steps stop producing useful quality gains.
sampling steps: 30Prompt adherence
Guidance scale
Controls how strongly generation follows text guidance relative to the model's prior.
Increase for stronger prompt adherence; reduce when results become rigid or oversaturated.
moderate guidance, preserve natural texturePrompt adherence
Prompt strength
Controls how strongly prompt instructions influence an edit or guided generation.
Use lower values for subtle edits and higher values for larger semantic changes.
prompt strength: medium, change only the materialPrompt adherence
Denoising strength
Controls how much an input image may be reconstructed during image-to-image generation.
Keep it low to preserve structure; raise it for substantial variation.
denoising strength: 0.35, preserve compositionReference control
Reference strength
Controls the influence of an image, character, style, or motion reference.
Balance it against text freedom and the amount of variation required.
character reference strength: high; pose reference strength: mediumStyle control
Stylization
Controls how strongly a model applies its learned aesthetic tendencies.
Increase for expressive interpretation; reduce for literal or technical output.
low stylization, accurate product shape and materialsRandomness
Variation
Controls how far alternatives may depart from a source or previous result.
Use small variation for iteration and large variation for concept exploration.
low variation, preserve identity and compositionOutput
Resolution
The pixel width and height of an image or video frame.
Choose it for delivery needs while respecting model-native sizes and cost.
resolution: 1920 by 1080Video
Frame rate
The number of video frames displayed per second.
Use 24 fps for a common cinematic cadence or higher rates for smoother motion.
frame rate: 24 fps, natural cinematic motionVideo
Duration
The total time available for requested actions and camera movement.
Reduce action count when duration is short and sequence complex shots separately.
duration: 6 seconds, one continuous actionVideo
Motion strength
Controls the amount or intensity of subject and scene motion.
Keep it low for portraits and product shots; raise it for action and environmental movement.
low motion strength, subtle breathing and fabric movement
