Basic Controls, Parameters, and a breakdown of what each feature does

Updated this week

Basic Controls

The video editor in neural frames—also known as the video synthesizer—is the core tool for crafting AI-generated visuals. From managing timelines, prompts, and rendering settings to using features like turbo mode, prompt enhancement, and snap-to-grid, this editor gives you full control over your video creation process.

Whether fine-tuning frames or experimenting with AI-driven suggestions, our intuitive interface makes it easy to refine your project.

Parameters

The video synthesizer in neural frames allows for frame-by-frame AI animation, offering precise control over motion, transformations, and artistic effects. This tutorial covers key settings like strength, flicker, edge echo, and smooth, explaining how each impacts your visuals. By feeding AI-generated frames back into the system, neural frames enables seamless transitions and dynamic morphing effects. Whether fine-tuning prompts or experimenting with AI-driven animation, mastering these controls unlocks endless creative possibilities.
