Start with a decision you can judge
Choose one subject, one action and one camera move. For a product shot, decide whether you are testing the silhouette, lighting or camera path. Keep the other choices steady so each Draft answers a useful question. Use references you have permission to use and give them clear names in the project.
Save a video prompt in Kivo, then open Drafts and select Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. Keep the prompt and references together so the next comparison uses the same starting point.
Use the smallest useful Draft
Kivo defaults Omni Drafts to 360p, with 720p available when fine details matter. Choose a short clip first and one or two candidates. Inspect subject shape, continuity, camera direction and audio before increasing the batch size. Search the result filter by your prompt name when a project has many shots.
Write what should happen on screen, then describe the camera and the sound. The example below is an original starting prompt; select a matching five-second duration in the controls.
One continuous five-second product shot. A matte ceramic teacup rests on a dark wooden table in soft morning window light. The camera slides slowly from left to right while a thin ribbon of steam rises. Keep the cup silhouette and handle shape consistent. Quiet room tone and a gentle ceramic touch; no music or text.
Optimize for the model you will use
In the prompt editor, choose Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash as the optimization target before running Optimize. Kivo uses model-specific guidance: natural descriptions of subject, action, camera and sound for Omni, and reference-role guidance suited to Seedance for Seedance. Your original language, quoted dialogue and asset bindings are preserved. This choice guides rewriting; select the matching generation model separately in Drafts.
Omni can create multiple shots by default. Ask for one continuous shot when you need continuity; keep intentional cuts when a sequence is part of your idea. For a small revision, describe the exact change and what should stay the same. The optimizer does not change resolution, duration or price.
Choose the take before the resolution
From a successful Omni Draft, choose Generate Production. Select 1080p or 4K and check the source name, duration and quote before confirming. Kivo uses that Draft as the basis for the final; a Seedance Draft cannot be turned into an Omni final.
Higher resolution is not a substitute for a good motion take. If the camera move or subject continuity is wrong, revise the prompt and test another Draft first. Preview the completed final before adding it to the asset library.
Compare the full creative cost
Kivo’s Omni rates are 4 credits/second at 360p, 8 at 720p, 16 at 1080p and 24 at 4K. For five seconds, that is 20, 40, 80 or 120 credits per result. Two five-second 360p Drafts followed by one five-second 1080p final total 120 credits when all three are successfully delivered. These are Kivo credit rates, not Google’s API dollar prices.
New accounts receive 20 welcome credits once. Three seconds at 360p quotes 12 credits, so begin with a small test rather than a large batch. Review the current quote; final generation is a separate charge.
