Advanced Prompting Techniques
- Step 1
Structure your audio prompts
Use quotes for dialogue ('Hello there,' she whispered), specify sound effects (tires screeching, wind howling), and describe ambient noise (bustling cafe, ocean waves).
- Step 2
Define camera and motion
Include specific camera movements (tracking shot, aerial view, close-up pan) and shot composition (wide shot, medium shot, POV) for cinematic results.
- Step 3
Control visual aesthetics
Specify lighting (golden hour, neon-lit, natural light), color palettes (muted tones, vibrant colors), and artistic styles (photorealistic, animated, film noir).
- Step 4
Use reference images effectively
For Image-to-Video, choose high-quality starting frames that represent your desired first scene. Describe the motion and audio you want added to the static image.
Example Prompts
Text‑to‑Video: A wise old sailor on a ship's deck gestures toward the churning sea, 'This ocean commands your awe with every breaking light,' he says. Medium shot, grey stormy lighting, pipe smoke, ocean wind sounds
Text‑to‑Video: Close-up of diced onions hitting a scorching hot pan with dramatic sizzle. Slow-motion, steam rising, kitchen ambiance, satisfying cooking sounds
Image‑to‑Video: Portrait reference of a child; gentle head turn and smile, soft window light, birds chirping outside, camera slowly pushes in, warm and peaceful mood
Text‑to‑Video: Paper boat sailing through rain-filled gutter, navigating with grace toward storm drain. Tracking shot follows boat, rainfall sounds, adventurous music
