Frequently asked questions
What does the Golden Hour style do?
Warm backlit sunset look. Technically it adds a prompt recipe to whatever you describe: your subject, golden hour lighting, warm backlit sunset, soft lens flare, cinematic color grading, glowing rim light. It nudges the model toward that look but does not guarantee it, and results vary by model and subject.
Can I use Golden Hour with any model?
Yes. Presets are plain prompt text, so they work with every video model on ShadowTeck. Pick the model per generation and compare results under one credit balance.
Can I combine Golden Hour with another style?
Yes. You can combine up to one preset per category (cinematic, stylized, product), and the recipes are merged into a single prompt.
Does using a preset cost extra?
No. A preset only changes the prompt. The credit cost depends on the model, resolution and clip length you choose, and is shown before you generate.
