FAQs
Where can I make steam stock footage with AI?
You can generate it in your browser on Morphic. Open the Text to Video tool, describe the source, the backlight and the speed of the vapour, and the clip generates in minutes. On a real shoot steam is a weather-dependent gamble, and a prompt lets you order the cold night that makes it thick.
Which steam shots render most reliably?
A backlit street grate, a kettle spout building to a boil, a ladle on sauna stones and vapour off a hot spring at dawn all render as convincing water vapour. The failures are unlit steam against a bright wall, which vanishes, and heavy plumes described without a source, which turn into smoke. One source, one backlight, one dark ground behind it.
How do I keep steam footage from looking like smoke?
Say it is water vapour, name the hot source that makes it, and describe it as white, thin at the edges and fading within a short distance. Smoke is grey or brown, hangs, and comes with fire or a chimney, so leave out every one of those words. Real time also helps, because steam rises faster than smoke and reads wrong when slowed.
How do I get thick, visible steam in a generated clip?
Put cold air in the prompt: a frosty morning, a wet winter night, freezing dawn over a spring. Then backlight it and give it a dark background so the white has something to stand against. Density comes from the source too, so a rolling boil or water on hot stones gives a plume where a warm cup gives a thread. Asking for more steam without those cues just adds fog.
How is this different from a stock library subscription?
A library steam clip was shot on the night the crew got, in whatever light the street offered, which is why so many are a faint grey smear over a bright frame. Generating lets you set the backlight, the air temperature and the density, point the drift the way your cut moves and run the plate as long as the shot holds. No watermark sits over the vapour while you are still grading.
