When to use it
Set it before every generation; a video's first-frame image and the video must share the same ratio.
02

Sample prompt · generate an image directly
The technique comes first, followed by the subject, scene, details and aspect ratio. Paste it straight into an image model and swap in your own subject.
Vertical 9:16 short-drama cover: the front door of a family home on a snowy night, a young man with a backpack stands in the lower two thirds of the frame looking up at a lit window, a large area of deep blue night sky and falling snow above for the title text. Cinematic, warm window against a cold night. (Also select 9:16 in the tool's ratio option.)
04
Common pitfalls
- Generating horizontal and cropping to vertical cuts half the person off.
- The first frame and the video have different ratios, so the image gets stretched or letterboxed.
05
Parameter tips
9:16 for short drama and TikTok; 16:9 or 2.39:1 for cinematic landscape; set it in the tool's ratio option, not just in the prompt.
