Choose Rivya quality, duration, aspect ratio, resolution, cost, speed, and review settings before spending credits on image, video, or audio.

Use this guide before increasing quality, duration, resolution, or aspect ratio settings on a Rivya generation task.

These settings affect cost, speed, review expectations, and whether the output fits its final placement.

What These Settings Change

Settings can affect:

how detailed an output can be
how long a video or audio result runs
how the asset fits a page or channel
how expensive a run may be
how long the task may take
how easy the result is to reuse

Do not increase settings just because they are available. Match them to the job.

Quality

Higher quality settings can be useful when the direction is already proven and the output needs more polish.

Use lower or standard settings when:

testing a direction
comparing prompts
checking a model fit
exploring a style
validating references

Use higher settings when:

the prompt is already working
the output is close to final use
the asset needs more detail or finish
the cost is justified by the placement

Duration

Duration matters most for video and audio.

Shorter durations are useful for:

product motion tests
social clips
quick voice checks
proof-of-direction runs

Longer durations are better only when the script, motion, or story needs the time. If one short clip is overloaded, split it into multiple assets instead of stretching duration.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio should come from placement.

Common choices:

square for flexible social use
vertical for short-form platforms
horizontal for website heroes, product demos, or presentation-style assets
custom crops when the page layout requires it

Choose aspect ratio before generation when composition matters. Cropping afterward may remove the product, text, or main action.

Balance Cost, Speed, Certainty

A practical workflow is:

run a lower-risk first run
confirm the direction
adjust prompt or references
increase quality or duration only when needed
download or reuse the most useful result

This helps avoid spending more credits on an unproven direction.

Generation Settings Checklist

Before spending more credits on heavier settings, check:

Confirm the final placement or channel.
Decide whether the current run is a test, draft, or near-final asset.
Choose aspect ratio before generation when composition matters.
Increase quality or duration only after the direction works.
Save or download the most useful result before branching into another workflow.

The goal is to match settings to the job instead of increasing every control by default.

When To Recheck Settings

Recheck settings when the output target changes, the crop no longer fits, credits are limited, or a longer video needs a clearer script.

In those cases, adjust placement, prompt, references, or model choice before running a heavier task.
