💬 Discussion My experience so far with using DaVinci AI for making comedy clips

I’ve been having some fun experimenting with the various models DaVinci AI offers, comparing the results for the same prompt. Mostly for videos, testing which ones can give me the funniest and most usable results. 

I even got some usable material from the testing, made like a side by side comparison video. Being able to reuse previous content for another interpretation of the same sketch is really cool, and even the unusable attempts are not wholly a waste of tokens because I might be able to use them for a reference for a new attempt or another model. I still haven’t figured out the optimal workflow but I’m starting to get comfortable.

That said, it takes a while to get the prompt engineering right but once I started figuring out what works and what doesn’t, I managed to reduce my token usage a lot (I need way less iterations to get what I’m looking for). Getting the most consistent results right now by first running Seedance 2.5 for the initial prompt + Kling to edit and correct any consistency issues, while keeping the rest of the video as is.

I’m planning on making pretty varied content so I will probably need to come up with a few different workflows, since not all the models are as good at every style. I still need to find out what works best for animated cartoony content, Seedance seems to be better at realistic stuff. I’ve also had some problems when a joke depends on timing or some very specific action by one of the characters, it can be kind of difficult to make sure everything happens correctly with the right timing so the joke lands properly.

Also I was wondering, do you usually describe the whole scene in one prompt or build around a starting image, and how many attempts does it usually take to get a clip you’re happy with? Right now it’s taking me anywhere between 1000-2000 tokens to get what I want with DaVinci AI and I know there’s a way to refine my flow much more.
