A better fit for turning ideas into motion quickly, especially for concept videos, visual experiments, and early-stage scene exploration.
Audience
Best fit

Scenarios
Use cases
- Concept video prototyping
- Mood-board and world-building demos

Workflow
How to use it
- Start with one very specific shot idea

Tradeoffs
What to watch
- It is often stronger for exploration than for every commercial production workflow
