Prompt Writing Tips
- Structure: Start with camera movement, then describe the subject, then the environment and lighting
- Be specific about motion: "Slow motion," "timelapse," "tracking shot" give the AI clear direction
- Include atmosphere: Lighting, weather, and mood words dramatically improve results
- Keep it focused: 1-3 sentences. Too many elements competing leads to confused output
- Enable audio: Many of these prompts create incredible synchronized sound effects
