Prompt
Vertical 9:16 first-person POV clip, as if the camera were at the eye level of the person doing the action. Only their hands and forearms are visible, {{hands}}, as they {{action}} on {{surface}}. Handheld camera with a very slight, natural sway, no shake, following the gesture. Wide lens equivalent to 24mm, focus on the hands and a softly blurred background. Lighting: {{lighting}}. Visible tactile details: material textures, steam, crumbs or droplets depending on the action. {{palette}} palette, realistic look of footage shot on a high-end phone, calm pace. No faces, no text, no logos.How to use it
- Pick an action that reads from the hands alone: cooking, wrapping a parcel, drawing, making coffee.
- Leave clear space at the top of the frame if you will add text in Instagram.
- Always check the hands and fingers in the result: that is where generators fail most; regenerate if needed.
Usage example
Hands: with thin rings and a knit sweater sleeve · Action: brew pour-over coffee · Surface: a light wood countertop · Lighting: morning window light.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the POV format work on Reels?
It puts viewers in the shoes of whoever is doing the action and needs no faces, so it works as a background for text, voiceover or tips.
How do I avoid distorted hands?
Ask for slow, simple gestures and few objects in the scene, and generate several takes. When one works, use it as the starting image for later clips.
