Tip:To include text in the generated video, place it within double quotes. For example, if you want the video to display the word CAT, include "CAT" in the prompt.
Provide a text prompt that will be used in combination with the uploaded images to help generate a video.
Note:- A text prompt is necessary if you've uploaded only the first keyframe.
