Writing effective text prompts for video generation

Summary

The article advises being clear and descriptive in your prompts, specifying visual style and defining actions clearly. It recommends structuring prompts like this: Shot Type Description + Character + Action + Location + Aesthetic. Using descriptive adjectives helps set the atmosphere, and providing context or background stories is useful for complex projects.

Key points include:

• Use specific camera angles and movements (e.g., "wide angle shot," "drone footage," "point-of-view") to simulate real-world camera work.
• Include temporal elements like time of day and weather to influence the video's mood.
• Refine prompts through trial and error, starting basic and adding details iteratively.
• Firefly can generate elements useful for editing, such as transition masks, elements on green/black backgrounds, and overlays.
• While there's no strict prompt length limit, vivid details and concrete language yield more predictable results.
