Practical Tips Sharing
Professional prompt writing tips to help you create better AI video content.
Clearly mark speakers in prompts using "A says:" format, and specify dialogue time points. Avoid multiple characters speaking simultaneously.
Describe material properties, weight feel, and motion trajectories in detail. For example "basketball bounces in parabolic trajectory, rubber material, natural gravity fall".
Avoid too-fast camera cuts, use descriptions like "smooth transition", "slow push". Specify camera movement duration.
Use specific time markers like "0:03 seconds", describe audio quality characteristics like "crisp", "muffled", "echoing".
Combine weather, time, and season elements to describe scene atmosphere. For example "dusk time, warm color light, gentle breeze, distant mountains like ink" creates poetic effects.
Describe facial expression changes and body language in detail. Use specific descriptions like "slightly furrowed brow", "corners of mouth upturned", "gentle gestures" to enhance realism.
