Use it every day

Honestly didn't expect to like it this much. Style and camera control options is exactly what I needed, and decent motion smoothness and visual quality. but I reach for it almost every day now and it just clicks.

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is prompt iteration and variations — handled better than most — and simple prompt-based workflow. Credit or subscription costs can add up is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.
