Subject
a red fox
One main subject keeps the motion clean.
Action
leaps over a frozen stream
Use one verb the viewer can see. Six seconds is one shot.
Setting
snowy forest at dawn
Place and time of day set the look.
Camera
slow tracking shot
Name the move: dolly in, pan, handheld, aerial.
Light & mood
soft golden light
Light changes the mood more than adjectives.
Style
cinematic, shallow depth of field
Add a style word or two, not a list.
A sneaker rotating on a pedestal, studio light, slow orbit.
Waves crashing on black rocks at sunset, aerial shot.
A robot barista pouring latte art in a cozy cafe.
Neon street in the rain at night, camera moving forward.
Syrup pouring over a stack of pancakes, close-up, slow motion.
Block out a scene before shooting or animating it.
One shot per prompt
Six seconds fits one action. Split longer ideas into several clips.
Describe motion
Say what moves and how fast. Static descriptions give static videos.
Write prompts faster
Use the AI Video Prompt Generator to turn an idea into a shot-by-shot prompt.
Match the platform
Pick the aspect ratio before generating; cropping later loses detail.
Avoid text on screen
Video models still struggle with readable words.
Scale through the API
Batch generate variations through the API once a prompt works.
