🪄 Prompt Formula
Basic Formula
Prompts are used to describe the content and motion process in videos. They are the key factor in controlling video content and effects. The more complete, precise, and rich the prompt description, the higher the quality of the generated video and the closer it is to the expected content. To help you get started quickly, we provide two typical formulas for different usage needs:
The basic formula is suitable for new users trying AI video for the first time and users who use AI video as inspiration. Simple and free prompts can generate more imaginative videos.
Formula: Subject + Scene + Motion
Subject: The main object of the video content, which can be people, animals, plants, objects, or imaginary objects that don't physically exist.
Scene: The environment where the subject is located, including background and foreground, which can be physically existing real spaces or imagined fictional scenes.
Motion: Includes the specific motion of the subject and the motion state of non-subjects, which can be static, small movements, large movements, local movements, or overall motion.
Advanced Formula
The advanced formula is suitable for users with some AI video experience. Adding richer and more detailed descriptions on top of the basic formula can effectively improve video quality, vividness, and storytelling.
Formula: Subject (Subject Description) + Scene (Scene Description) + Motion (Motion Description) + Aesthetic Control + Stylization
Subject Description: Detailed description of the subject's appearance characteristics, which can be listed through adjectives or short phrases, such as "a black-haired Miao girl wearing ethnic minority clothing" or "a flying fairy from another world, wearing worn but gorgeous clothing, with a pair of strange wings made of ruins fragments spread behind her back."
Scene Description: Detailed description of the environmental characteristics where the subject is located, which can be listed through adjectives or short phrases.
Motion Description: Detailed description of motion characteristics, including the amplitude, rate of motion, and the effects of motion, such as "swaying violently", "moving slowly", "breaking glass".
Aesthetic Control: Includes light sources, lighting environment, shot size, perspective, lens, camera movement, etc. Common lens language can be found in the prompt dictionary below.
Stylization: Description of the visual style language, such as "cyberpunk", "line drawing illustration", "post-apocalyptic style". Common stylization can be found in the prompt dictionary below.
Image-to-Video Formula
Since the image has already determined the subject, scene, and style, the prompt mainly describes the dynamic process and camera movement requirements.
Formula: Motion + Camera Movement
Motion Description: Combined with elements in the image (such as people, animals), describe their dynamic process, such as running, greeting. You can control the degree and speed of dynamics through adjectives, such as "quickly", "slowly".
Camera Movement: If there are specific requirements for camera movement, control it through prompts such as "camera push", "camera left shift". If you want the camera not to change, you can emphasize it through "fixed camera".
🪄 Cinematic Aesthetics
By crafting prompts with different dimensions, you can enhance the controllability and expressiveness of generated videos in specific aspects. We have carefully prepared common dimensions and prompt examples for your reference. Feel free to explore more creative ways to use these controls.
