1. Pick your starting point
Use text mode when you are building a scene from nothing and want to choose the canvas shape. Use image mode when the opening composition already exists — a product photo, an illustration, a still from earlier work — and you want it to move. Only upload images you own or have permission to animate.
2. Describe one shot
Taomate H3 works best with one coherent shot rather than a list of unrelated ideas. Name the subject, the single main action, the camera move, the light, and a short line of sound direction.
A silver train glides through a rain-lit city at dusk. Slow side-tracking shot, warm windows against blue reflections, gentle rail sounds and distant traffic.
3. Choose length, resolution and framing
Start drafts at 480p and 5 seconds: it is the cheapest way to check whether the motion reads correctly. Move to 768p or a longer clip once the direction works. In text mode choose the aspect ratio for where the video will be shown — 9:16 for vertical feeds, 16:9 for landscape players, 1:1 for square placements.
- Durations: 5, 10 or 15 seconds.
- Resolutions: 480p for drafts, 768p for more detail.
- Higher resolution and longer clips cost more credits; the quote updates as you change settings.
4. Check the quote, generate and download
Sign in to submit. Credits are reserved when the request starts; a slow job keeps running even if you leave the page, and you can return to your history to review it. When it finishes, download the MP4. If the provider confirms a failure, the reserved credits come back automatically.
5. Refine one instruction at a time
Compare the result with what you asked for. Keep what worked and change only one thing in the next version — the camera move, the light, or the action. Small, deliberate changes teach you more than rewriting the whole prompt.
