Overview

What is Lemon?

Lemon is Mage's all-round video model, available only on Mage, built to sit between the entry-level models and the top end on quality and price.

It pins a first and a last frame, or takes saved Characters, reference images, reference videos, and voices, and it makes clips from short loops to long scenes, with generated audio when you want it.

Best at

  • Clips pinned between a first and a last frame
  • Character video with a consistent voice
  • Motion and style taken from reference videos

  • Below Cherry 2 Pro for final-quality work
  • Reference-video seconds bill like output seconds

Prompt guide

How to prompt Lemon

Tips that work on this model, then example prompts to start from.

Tips

  • Choose the mode first: frames (a first and a last image) or references (Characters, images, videos).
  • With frames, describe the motion between them, not the frames themselves.
  • With references, say what each one is for: "@ana wears @red-coat and moves like the reference video".
  • Turn audio on and describe the sound you want, or leave it off for a clip you will score yourself.
  • Keep drafts short and low resolution, then lengthen the keeper.

Example prompts

  • From a first frame to a last

    she tosses the towel over her shoulder, spins once, and the laundromat turns into a mirrored ballroom around her; the camera circles her

  • A Character with a voice

    @yourcharacter turns from the window and walks to the door, the handheld camera follows, warm evening light, and she says: "I'm ready."

  • A macro reveal

    a lemon on a marble cafe table splits open slowly to reveal a tiny glowing golden city inside, macro lens, soft morning light
