This repository keeps my notes on [Yeri AI](https://yeri.ai), an online tool that turns prompts and photos into images and short clips. A plain Markdown file is the easiest way I have found to keep prompt variants, model choices and settings together.
## Video
Text-to-video clips are short, so plan one idea per clip and cut several together afterwards. I generate a clean still first, then animate it. That gives much more control than describing everything in one video prompt.
## Editing tools
The image expander (outpainting) is handy for turning a square photo into a 16:9 banner without cropping the subject. Upscaling and enhancement fix soft or low-resolution sources before you animate them, which noticeably improves video results.
## Image prompts
When matching a brand look, upload one or two reference images and describe only what should change; the model keeps the rest. Start with the subject, then the setting, then light and lens. For example: 'ceramic mug on a linen table, soft window light from the left, 50mm, shallow depth of field'.
## Models
I usually draft on a lighter model, keep the seed and prompt, then re-render the best two or three on a higher-quality model. Model choice matters more than prompt length. Fast models are fine for exploring ideas; switch to a pro model only for the final render to save credits.
