Prompt examples

Known limitations
- Motion continuity can weaken when a prompt asks for several actions at once.
- Small text, logos, and packaging labels may deform between frames.
- Queue time and available output options depend on the upstream provider.
- Generated provider links are temporary, so Kansova must persist completed assets.
