Prompt formula: subject + scene + shot + camera movement + action + lighting + constraints.

Why prompts matter

AI video prompts are not magic words. They are instructions for visual decisions. When you describe the shot clearly, the tool has a better chance of producing motion that feels intentional.

Prompt example

“Medium close-up of a creator explaining an AI video workflow in a bright studio, slow push-in camera movement, natural smile, soft window light, realistic motion, stable hands, no text.”

Common mistakes

  • Using too many actions in one short clip.
  • Leaving out camera movement.
  • Asking for text or logos when the model handles them poorly.
  • Skipping editing and judging only the raw output.
