Required

```
prompt
```

CLI Script

bash

python3 scripts/fal_generate.py \
    --endpoint video-from-image \
    --prompt "Camera slowly pans across the landscape" \
    --image /path/to/photo.jpg \
    --duration 8s \
    --video-resolution 1080p \
    --output video.mp4

Tips

Use descriptive motion language in prompts: pan, zoom, sway, flow, drift
Describe camera movements for cinematic effects: "slow dolly forward", "aerial pull back"
Higher resolution (1080p) gives better quality but takes longer and costs more
Disable audio generation (
```
generate_audio: False
```
) to save credits when sound is not needed
Ensure input image is at least 720p for best results
Shorter duration (4s) generates faster and is good for quick previews
