Tips by Model Type

For image generation (T2I):

  • Be specific about composition and framing
  • Include artistic style references
  • Mention lighting conditions

For video generation (T2V/I2V):

  • Describe the motion or action clearly
  • Keep prompts focused on one main action
  • Specify camera movement if needed (zoom, pan, static)

For digital humans:

  • Describe appearance in detail (age, clothing, expression)
  • Specify the speaking style and emotion
  • Include background and lighting preferences
