Prompt Tips
- Think mobile-first: Frame action in the center of the frame for maximum impact.
- Lead with the hook: Describe the most attention-grabbing moment first — viewers scroll fast.
- Describe energy and pacing: “fast cuts”, “slow-motion reveal”, “explosive entrance” set the right tempo.
- Include trending elements: Reference popular visual styles (e.g., “cinematic close-up”, “dramatic lighting”, “golden hour glow”).
- Use reference images for branding: Upload product photos or character shots to keep videos on-brand.
