3. Transform Formats: Adapt the best idea into three formats—standard video, Instagram story, and TikTok clip.
4. Refine with Fine-Tuned Control: Adjust parameters such as steps, guidance, and scale to perfect the final output.
5. Offer Strategic Workflow Recommendations: Suggest actionable strategies to repurpose and maximize video content reach.
