Prompt playbook

auto_fix_highStart with these three moves

Scan the quick playbook first. Open the full guide only when you need deeper do/don't rules or example prompts.

1
Think in shots, not clips — describe each shot as part of a sequence. Label shots with framing, subject, and motion details.
2
Anchor subjects early — define core characters at the prompt's beginning with consistent labels like [Character A: Black-suited Agent].
3
Describe motion explicitly — specify both subject movement and camera behavior. Use: tracking, following, freezing, panning.

More tips

4Use native audio intentionally — indicate who speaks and when. Include tone labels: [Agent, raspy deep voice].
5Leverage longer durations — up to 15 seconds allows real narrative development. Describe progression over time.

✓ Do this

Structure prompts as: Scene Setting → Characters → Action → Camera → Audio & Style
Use cinematic language: profile shots, macro close-ups, tracking shots, POV, shot-reverse-shot
For multi-character dialogue, use structured naming: [Character Name: Description, vocal quality]
For image-to-video, treat the input image as an anchor — focus the prompt on how the scene evolves FROM the image
Use negative prompts for realism: -smiling, -cartoonish, -3D render, -smooth plastic skin, -floating limbs

✗ Avoid this

Compressing multiple scenes into a single vague paragraph produces poor results
Inconsistent character naming across shots breaks identity consistency
Generic voice descriptions without emotional context reduce audio quality
Very fast camera movements in a single shot may cause artifacts
Text rendering within video is not reliably supported

Example prompts

Cinematic / Multi-shot

“A dimly lit jazz club. [Shot 1] Wide shot: A female singer in a red dress steps up to the microphone, spotlight slowly brightening. [Shot 2] Close-up: Her face, eyes closed, begins singing. [Singer, warm smoky voice]: 'The night is young, and so are we.' Soft piano accompaniment fills the room.”

Landscape / Nature

“Aerial drone shot slowly descending over a misty mountain lake at sunrise. Camera tracks forward, revealing a lone wooden cabin on the far shore. Morning birds singing, water lapping gently. The mist parts as golden light breaks through.”

Product / Commercial

“Close-up of a barista's hands pouring steamed milk into a latte, creating rosetta art. Camera holds steady, shallow depth of field. The ambient sound of a busy café — espresso machine hissing, quiet chatter.”
