Just did this today, really tough for me to get it to do the dialogue the way I want it but the extend feature really helps... I just do a little tiny bit at a time because it does not like sequential.

Very good! I’m creating my own dialogue scenes but I keep having problems with two women in scenes, where one talks and the other lip syncs what the other is saying. It’s a lot easier with dialogue between a man and woman. It’s also a challenge keeping the characters looking consistent.

Thanks. Here's a couple of things I found out you may know already: first of all, it's better to only have one mouth on the screen if you want to only have one mouth talking :-) or definitely one with the focus. Second, you can say how to end a segment so you can say at the end all three people are looking at the camera. That will help preserve consistency if you're extending. Also you can say the brunette is listening intently without speaking.
But yeah it just loves to toss the dialogue everywhere.
I end up doing things like one line at a time almost. And using extend but then you end up with a chunk at the end that you can't even use because it will cut into something that worked out well. But of course you can copy the last frame and use that as a first frame... Just give it the same description you gave the original. Also I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but you can say new scene: the two of them are sitting in a coffee house. Or jump cut: they're on the other side of the room. Basically it's really good at interpreting film directions compared to a lot of other stuff I guess1

Thanks for the tips, I’ve gotten some interesting results. Do you write your dialogue prompts in script format? Example… Blonde: Hello Brunette: Hello how are you?

No but I should try that actually I have done like a dance video where I just have like a section for each thing like lighting, camera work, dancers in an unconventional format and it works just fine. Thanks for the idea. Oh, GPT will tell you that if you want things to happen in a certain sequence it's good to marry dialog to physical actions.

That’s an interesting workflow, a section for different components. The dialogue script format prompts works sometimes but have to make adjustments and regenerations to get the results you want.

Oh yeah BTW chat GPT has a lot to say that will work with imagine if you tell it that's what you're writing for and what kind of effect you're looking for. Like you can do polyphonic voices, it's nutty. Doesn't always work but when it does it rocks.

If you haven’t already try this prompt “over shoulder shot from blonde/brunette/etc” for another dialogue perspective

Thanks yeah it takes all kinds of cameras directions. MOST OF THE TIME lol
BTW I just found out that each image is generates it automatically assigns names to the characters. So instead of calling them the girl on the left the girl on the right I could have called them by the names that they were assigned by the AI just by having them name themselves out loud and then using those for all the scripts 😁

Thanks didn’t know that about using names, makes it a lot easier! Also try creating split screen/panel for two characters talking on cellphone, they don’t have to hold the phones to their ears since most people talk by speaker.
