How to use it well
- Start from an image. Add one effect. Export at 5–8 seconds.
- Do not chase photoreal cinema here — that is Luma/Flow.
- Batch on Wi-Fi; the editor is web-heavy on mid-range Androids.
Myanmar notes
Fine for nightlife teaser gags. Keep file sizes small before posting to Facebook from mobile data.
