+# Notes on making AI images and short videos with Yeri AI: quick reference
+
+This repository keeps my notes on [Yeri AI](https://yeri.ai), an online tool that turns prompts and photos into images and short clips. A plain Markdown file is the easiest way I have found to keep prompt variants, model choices and settings together.

+
+## Use cases
+
+Typical uses: product photos for small shops, YouTube thumbnails, ad creatives, concept art, and short promo clips. I mostly use it for blog headers and short social videos, but it also works for quick mockups when pitching an idea.
+
+## Templates
+
+Video templates and photo effects are the fastest way to get something social-ready; swap in your own photo and adjust the text. The prompt library is useful when you are stuck: copy a prompt, change the subject, keep the lighting and composition terms.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Check hands, text and logos at full size before publishing.
+- Keep a log of prompt, model and seed for every image you plan to reuse.
+- Use the same reference image across a series to keep characters consistent.
+
+## Video
+
+I generate a clean still first, then animate it. That gives much more control than describing everything in one video prompt. Text-to-video clips are short, so plan one idea per clip and cut several together afterwards.
+
+## Image prompts
+
+Short, concrete nouns beat long lists of adjectives. 'Rainy Tokyo alley at night, neon reflections' works better than ten style words. Start with the subject, then the setting, then light and lens. For example: 'ceramic mug on a linen table, soft window light from the left, 50mm, shallow depth of field'.
