Limitations

• Creative Focus: Designed primarily for creative video synthesis from text; not intended for generating factually accurate or reliable content.
• Inherent Biases: As with any data-driven model, outputs may reflect biases present in the training data.
• Input Sensitivity: The quality and consistency of generated videos depend significantly on the quality of the input text; subtle variations may lead to output variability.
• Resolution Limitation: This model is optimized for 480p video generation and does not support higher resolutions like 720p.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model and its derivatives may not be used in any way that violates applicable national, federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, including but not limited to:

• Exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm minors, including solicitation, creation, acquisition, or dissemination of child exploitative content.
• Generating or disseminating verifiably false information with the intent to harm others.
• Creating or distributing personal identifiable information that could be used to harm an individual.
• Harassing, abusing, threatening, stalking, or bullying individuals or groups.
• Producing non-consensual nudity or illegal pornographic content.
• Making fully automated decisions that adversely affect an individual’s legal rights or create binding obligations.
• Facilitating large-scale disinformation campaigns.
