Turning a Visual Brief into a Still and a Short Video Concept in SentX

You can take a visual brief to a still image and a short clip in SentX by working through its three creative surfaces in sequence: chat, where you compare concepts and settle the direction; the image generator, where the brief becomes a still; and the image-to-video tool, where you upload that still and describe one motion to get a short clip.

What goes into the brief?

Start by writing the brief down in plain language: the subject, who it's for, the mood, the framing you need (square, portrait, or landscape), and the deliverable — for example, one hero still plus a short clip concept built on it. A few minutes here pay off later, because every prompt you write gets judged against that paragraph.

How do I settle the direction?

Use chat before you spend a single generation. Lay out two or three directions — different angles, palettes, or compositions — and ask which serves the audience best. You're using the conversation to settle strategy, so when you finally prompt the image generator, the wording is already tight rather than exploratory.

What should I check before generating?

Before you generate, get clear on what you actually have available. The pricing page lists what each current plan covers, including its media benefits, so read that first. Then sign in and check your own account for the media allowance and wallet remaining, and work from those live numbers instead of assuming what applies to you.

How do I turn the brief into a still?

1. Generate the still with a prompt that names subject, style, mood, and framing.Source: SI Image Generator
2. When it comes back, review three things: does the subject actually match the brief, is the composition usable at the size you need, and is any visible text legible and correctly spelled?
3. If something's off, edit the prompt — but change one variable per pass. Adjust the lighting before you swap the subject, or you won't know what fixed what.

2. Describe one clear motion: a slow camera push-in, the subject turning toward the lens, background elements drifting. Keep it to a single instruction.
3. Watch the resulting clip, and if the movement isn't right, adjust only the motion description and generate again.

Save what you keep: the chosen still, the final clip, and the brief text, somewhere external in your own folder or notes. Projects that exist only inside a chat session are easy to lose track of.

One privacy note, since it shapes what you put in: SentX's published policy says submissions are not confidential, and text can enter training or shared memory. Work with public material or anything you're permitted to share, and leave sensitive details out of both the brief and the prompts.
