Stones to Castle video: why does it feel faster than the original?

Updated:

Short answer

The original film runs 30 seconds and our videos run 15, the longest the model makes, so every shot is about half as long. That is expected. For a calmer post, slow the clip a little in the TikTok or CapCut editor, or let the last window shot hold on a freeze frame.

Make it feel calmer

  • Use the 15-second full video, not the preview.
  • Set the speed to about 0.8x in the editor.
  • Hold the final window shot as a freeze frame.
  • Pick a slow, epic song to carry it.

Why it is 15 seconds

The video model makes clips of up to 15 seconds, so we keep every shot of the original in order and give each one about half the time.
