Creator questions
Can AI video handle anime dialogue?
Use short reaction-oriented shots and add final dialogue timing in editing or a separate voice workflow rather than relying on long continuous lip sync.
Should I use a two-shot or close-up?
Use a two-shot to establish the relationship and a close-up when one character experiences the key emotional change.
