Best practices for video generation prompts
Video generation bots
Prompting tips
- Be descriptive, rather than instructive. Unlike for text generation bots, the style prompt should describe the desired video, not be an instruction to the bot. The best prompt structure is:
Style, camera angle, description of character/ scene + verb (doing something) + background/ environment/setting + any additional information
For example:
Artistic. Low angle shot. An elderly woman wearing a floral sundress, tending to her vibrant garden. Golden hour lighting. --aspect 1:1
- Keep prompts concise. Unlike for image generation bots (such as Midjourney), shorter prompts tend to work better.
- Add camera motions Adding camera motions can produce more cinematic results.
- --zoom (in/out)
- --rotate (cw/ccw)
- --tilt (up/down)
- --pan (left/right)
