Monet Vision Tutorial: Compare Models Without Wasting Credits

Do not browse models randomly. Start with a shot contract and a scoring rubric, then spend credits in stages: cheap composition tests first, high-quality finishing last.

01

1. Define the outcome

Write audience, channel, duration, aspect ratio, subject, action, camera, audio, required details, and prohibited changes.

02

2. Prepare source truth

Collect approved images, product geometry, logos, scripts, faces, voices, and rights. Mark references that must remain unchanged.

03

3. Shortlist models

Pick two or three current models based on the shot: native audio, identity, motion control, editing, duration, resolution, or draft speed.

04

4. Run a low-cost test

Keep prompt and references constant. Start at the lowest useful setting to compare composition and instruction following.

05

5. Lock the direction

Choose the strongest result, record the model and settings, then refine one variable at a time.

06

6. Apply specialist tools

Use lip sync, video swap, motion control, extender, long-take, or conversational editing only where the shot needs them.

07

7. Review frame and sound

Check anatomy, object permanence, identity, product truth, camera intent, flicker, dialogue, ambience, and synchronization.

8. Calculate usable cost

Record credits, retries, usable seconds, editing time, and rights checks. Choose the workflow with the best approved-output economics.
