The short answer
The most reliable method starts with one clear commercial goal, coherent references and approval before animation. Platform, length and motion come next.
Vertical video is built for mobile discovery. Landscape works better on YouTube, websites and presentation screens.
Turn the advice into a creation brief
Apply this guide to one concrete campaign rather than your entire communication plan. Write down the intended audience, desired action, publishing platform and the detail that must remain perfectly accurate. Then prepare four or five coherent references from the same place or product. Your first check is: choose one desired action. Compare output with the source files, verify commercial information separately and keep one clean version without text. That master can be adapted for several platforms without rebuilding the visual work, while each caption, price, date and booking link remains easy to update.
Vertical for TikTok, Reels and Shorts
9:16 fills a phone display. Keep logos and text within safe areas, away from platform controls.
Square for flexible feed posts
1:1 remains readable in Instagram and Facebook feeds and can be reused in paid social posts.
Landscape for broader storytelling
16:9 suits YouTube, website hero sections and large-screen listings.
Write a brief that actually helps
Describe the business, audience, desired action and details that must not change. Avoid an overlong camera script: a clear direction gives the model creative room while protecting the reality of the project.
Build the sequence before generation
Order references from context to detail. A 15-second video usually works with four or five images; 30 seconds benefits from six to eight genuinely different views. Remove duplicates and any photo from another place, product or period.
Publish with verifiable proof
Review the output, visible characteristics, rights and final copy. A demo shows a possibility, never an identical guarantee. Keep the master and adapt format, branding or call to action for each platform.

Practical reference
From reality to film
Output depends on your photos, format and duration. You approve the enhanced images before video generation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the same photos be reused?
Yes, for another length or format, provided they still describe the offer accurately.
Will the output match a demo exactly?
No. Results depend on references and settings; you review enhanced images before video generation.
Where should logo and text go?
Inside platform safe areas, composited after generation so typography remains exact.
