Prompting
Prompt structure that works better for video
Move from adjective stacking to a structured four-part prompt: subject, motion, camera, style.

Four-part prompts are more reliable
Models respond better to structured instructions than emotional adjectives.
Split your prompt into subject, motion, camera, and style for consistency.
- Subject: the main character, product, or scene.
- Motion: clear action, no ambiguity.
- Camera: movement, angle, framing.
- Style: color palette, texture, brand tone.
Create reusable team templates
Once templates are validated, only swap variables.
Document them so new team members can ship faster.
- Keep 3-5 core templates.
- Pair each with its best-performing camera settings.
- Note the best placement channels.
