RenderTide treats each generation as a visual brief. Begin with an image or video you deliberately select, then choose an available video template to give the request a creative direction. The source carries the subject, composition, and context; the template frames how the new result should feel and move. Together, they create a focused starting point for an AI-generated video without requiring you to build every moment on an editing timeline. Start with what should remain recognizable A useful source already contains decisions: a person at the center of a portrait, the shape of a product, the atmosphere of a place, or the visual language of an artwork. Before choosing a template, decide which of those qualities must stay clear in the result. Clear subject placement and intentional framing give the model more concrete context for the request. RenderTide can work with selected images or videos, so the creative brief can begin from a still composition or from media that already contains movement. Let the template define the change Templates are not just labels for appearance. Each available option gives the request a prepared visual direction. Choose one according to the role the result needs to play: a character-focused moment, a product concept, a short mood study, a visual greeting, or another scene built around source media you already have. Changing the template changes the brief, which makes it possible to explore another interpretation without rebuilding the idea from the beginning. Judge the returned result on its own Every generated result is the model's interpretation of the brief. Movement, framing, appearance, and small details may depart from the input or from what you expected. Preview the returned video, use the available editing controls where needed, and review it before exporting or publishing. Submit only media for which you hold the necessary usage rights or permissions, especially when a real person appears in the source. RenderTide must not be used for impersonation, deception, non-consensual media, or conduct that infringes anyone else's privacy, likeness, or legal rights. RenderTide does not require an account or sign-in. Only media you actively select for a request is uploaded for that task. After the service delivers the requested output, it removes the original source file. RenderTide does not create or retain persistent face-identity records or raw facial-feature vectors from media sent for generation. Uploaded media is not used for advertising, user profiling, or AI model pre-training without your explicit consent. The Privacy Policy explains the full handling terms and applicable details. When you confirm a subscription purchase, the charge is applied to the Apple ID account used for that transaction. The plan renews automatically for each new billing period unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel the subscription from that Apple ID account's settings.
