T2V-01-Director

Overview

T2V-01-Director is an advanced AI video generation model that specializes in creating high-definition videos with cinematic camera movements. The model supports 720p resolution at 25fps and can generate videos up to 6 seconds in length.

Camera Movement Control System

Basic Usage

Camera movement instructions can be incorporated in two ways:

  1. Using bracketed commands: [Camera Movement]
  2. Natural language descriptions within the prompt

Examples

  • [Push in] A lamb stands alone in a snowy field, snowflakes gently falling around it.
  • [Pan left, Pan right] A woman in business attire sits at a café, sipping coffee while working on her laptop.
  • A man picks up a leather-bound book from a dusty shelf [Pedestal up], then begins reading it by candlelight [Static shot].
  • Above an ancient battlefield [Pan right, Pedestal down], a close-up reveals a warrior woman’s face, dirt-streaked but determined.
  • [Tracking shot] A red fox moves stealthily through autumn woods, hunting for prey.
  • [Push in, Zoom out] A surprised woman stands in a crowded beach scene, her expression frozen as the background comes into focus.
  • The shot begins from a dark rooftop [Pedestal up, Pan left], revealing a glittering cityscape with a large red moon hanging in the night sky.
  • [Pan left, Tilt up] Starting from a small rabbit looking upward, following its gaze to a bright red balloon floating into the sky.
  • [Pull out, Tilt up] A knight stands amid ruins holding a broken sword, the camera revealing burning city walls and a massive dragon shadow in the sky.
  • [Pan left, Pan right, Tracking shot] A woman in a flowing red dress walks confidently through a modern subway station.

Command Format

  • Single movement: [Movement]
  • Multiple simultaneous movements: [Movement1, Movement2]
  • Sequential movements: prompt [Movement1], second part of prompt [Movement2]

Supported Camera Movements

Horizontal Movements:

  • [Truck left] / [Truck right]: Camera moves horizontally
  • [Pan left] / [Pan right]: Camera rotates horizontally while stationary

Vertical Movements:

  • [Pedestal up] / [Pedestal down]: Camera moves vertically
  • [Tilt up] / [Tilt down]: Camera rotates vertically while stationary

Depth Movements:

  • [Push in] / [Pull out]: Camera moves forward/backward
  • [Zoom in] / [Zoom out]: Lens focal length changes

Special Movements:

  • [Tracking shot]: Camera follows subject
  • [Shake]: Camera vibration effect
  • [Static shot]: Fixed camera position

Best Practices

Movement Combinations:

  • Limit to 3 combined movements for optimal results
  • Place movement commands at the specific point in the prompt where the movement should occur
  • Use comma separation for simultaneous movements
  • Use sequential placement for sequential movements

Natural Language Integration:

  • Example: “The shot begins with a push in towards the subject [Push in], then pans across the landscape [Pan right] to reveal the sunset.”

Preset Shot Combinations

Circling Shots:

  • Left circling: [truck left, pan right, tracking shot]
  • Right circling: [truck right, pan left, tracking shot]

Walking Shots:

  • Left walking: [truck left, tracking shot]
  • Right walking: [truck right, tracking shot]

Dynamic Shots:

  • Upward tilt: [push in, pedestal up]
  • Scenic shot: [truck left, pedestal up]
  • Stage shots: [pan right, zoom in], [pan left, zoom in]
  • Downward tilt: [pedestal down, tilt up]

Usage Notes

For optimal results:
