Из обычной картинки реально вытащил плавный клип для рекламы, движение камеры приятное.

The image-to-video workflow in Gen-4 finally clicked for me after the second lesson, and my test shot actually held camera motion without warping.

I went in just wanting to animate a few concept stills and came out understanding shot composition way better than before. The instructor breaks down camera moves and pacing in a way that actually translates to short film work, not just random clips. My first attempt at a dolly-in shot looked shockingly close to something I'd see in an actual trailer.

Endlich habe ich verstanden, wie man aus einem Standbild mit Gen-4 ein sauberes Clip macht, ohne dass die Figuren flackern. Die Beispiele für Werbespots waren super praktisch. Bei den Kamerafahrten hätte ich mir noch ein, zwei zusätzliche Übungen gewünscht, aber insgesamt klar empfehlenswert.
