Advanced Creation Techniques
- Step 1
Structure effective prompts
Follow the pattern: Main subject → Action → Details → Scene → Style → Camera → Reinforcer. Use natural language with specific visual descriptions for best results.
- Step 2
Master camera movements
Specify cinematic movements like 'tracking shot', 'crane up', 'dolly forward', or 'aerial view' to achieve professional cinematography in your videos.
- Step 3
Utilize keyframe control
Set start and end image keyframes to create specific narrative flows and seamless transitions between different scenes or camera angles.
- Step 4
Optimize with Ray2 Flash
Use Ray2 Flash for rapid iteration and concept testing at 3x speed and cost efficiency, then switch to Ray2 for final high-quality output.
Example Prompts
Text‑to‑Video: Overhead shot follows a vintage car winding through autumn mountain roads, polished surface reflecting fiery canopy above, fallen leaves swirling in wake, cinematic lighting
Text‑to‑Video: Extreme close-up of cello bow causing horsehair to fray, slow motion vibrations on strings, dust particles floating in concert hall light, anamorphic lens flare
Image‑to‑Video: Portrait reference; woman blowing kiss to camera with pastel lighting, gentle head movement, soft focus background, tracking camera push-in
Text‑to‑Video: Mesmerizing neon-lit woman with cybernetic elements, billion-gigapixel detail, Christopher Nolan cinematography style, tilt-shift depth of field, hyper-realistic textures
