Discussion How are you keeping UI mockups and text stable in generative video?
I feel like this gets discussed a lot, but I find it personally quite frustrating, so here we go. Running commercial ads or UI mock with standard video generators, the text, 8 times out of 10, gets messed up. The background, great! Even the lighting, spot on! When the motion hits, brand assets especially those with text, starts wrapping.
Of course, we have the “minor” changes from the client. This looks great, but… this is something that I really hate hearing. I can’t isolate the spot. I can’t isolate the logo. So that means I have to somehow replicate what I did. Which is almost impossible.
That was what I used to do. The thing that I also realize that each model has its own perk. Seedance its cinematic output, and motion, some works better with faces/ character consistency etc.
This is somewhat new to me. I also subbed to MiniMax H3 just because it has some new releases that I read about it. Give it a mix of image, text, and video references helps anchor the actual UI layout and brand structure, that was supposedly what it does well.
I am still playing with it and still learning. If what it says is true, it would save me time with the localized replacement and multimodal editing. I am getting a hang of it with targeting specific areas to edit. No overhaul of everything, just targeted edit.
One thing I noticed, is that the image reference has to be high res. Otherwise, wrapping still happens.
How do you all keep brand elements stable for commercial work (text and whatnot)? Are you comping everything in post, relying on localized edit passes, or some other magic tricks that you know up your sleeves?
