Video prompts

Video prompting should sequence shots like a storyboard, not like a paragraph with motion verbs.

The useful prompt controls scene order, camera movement, transitions and final frame so the generator has less room to drift into incoherent motion.

Storyboard prompt for short-form video

For trailers, product demos or launch ads with coherent visual beats.

Write a 20-second video prompt with scene-by-scene beats, camera movement, subject action, lighting, environment, transition logic and final brand frame. Keep every shot physically coherent.

Video block

Product cinematic loop

For homepages and hero areas that need a seamless loop instead of a messy storyboard.

Generate a seamless product loop. Specify hero object, background atmosphere, camera path, motion speed, material highlights, prohibited artifacts and ending frame that can restart cleanly.

Video block

Explainer cutdown scaffold

For converting a long product story into a short, clear, scene-based sequence.

Turn this product story into a 15-second explainer cutdown. Return opening hook, three visual beats, on-screen text, motion cues and closing CTA frame.

Creative directives

Useful when the motion prompt still needs brand voice, claims and review rules attached.

Still relevant when the video pipeline starts from styleframes or reference stills.
