Designed for:

Prompt

{{shot}} of {{subject}} {{action}} in {{place}}. Camera: {{camera}}, smooth and steady. Lighting: {{lighting}}. Atmosphere: {{mood}}. One continuous shot with no cuts and a single main action. Cinematic look, natural motion, realistic physics, shallow depth of field, 24 fps film style, consistent subject throughout the shot, no text, no logos.

How to use it

Video generators work best with one shot and one action per prompt. Write in this order: shot type → subject → action → place → camera → lighting → mood.

  • Length and resolution are set in each tool's interface.
  • If you start from an image (image-to-video), describe mainly the motion.
  • Generate several versions: results vary a lot between attempts.

Usage example

Shot: Wide establishing shot · Subject: an old fishing boat · Action: slowly returning to harbor · Camera: slow drone push-in · Lighting: blue hour with warm harbor lights.

Frequently asked questions

Why only one camera movement and one action?

Current video models handle simple, single-action shots much better; combining several movements often produces distortions or ignored instructions.

Does it work with image-to-video?

Yes. Upload your start frame and use the prompt to describe the motion, camera and atmosphere; you can shorten the subject description because the image already shows it.
