Mastering Prompt Engineering for Video Generation
💡 Pro Tip: Successful video generation starts with effective prompts. Be specific about motion, direction, speed, and style.
Prompt Structure Guidelines
Basic Structure:
[Subject] + [Action/Motion] + [Style/Quality] + [Technical Details]
Example Breakdown:
"A majestic eagle soaring through cloudy skies with graceful wing movements, cinematic slow motion, professional wildlife documentary style, golden hour lighting, 24fps smooth animation"
Motion Descriptors That Work Best
- Natural Movements: "flowing," "swaying," "drifting," "floating"
- Directional Cues: "from left to right," "zooming in," "panning across"
- Speed Indicators: "slow motion," "fast-paced," "gradual," "sudden"
- Style Modifiers: "cinematic," "cartoonish," "realistic," "abstract"
Common Prompt Pitfalls to Avoid
| Pitfall | Problem | Solution |
|---|
| Vague descriptions | Random or poor motion | Use specific action verbs |
| Contradictory terms | Confusing the AI | Be consistent in descriptions |
| Too many elements | Overwhelming the model | Focus on 2-3 main motions |
| No motion direction | Static or minimal movement | Include directional cues |

Parameter Optimization Guide
Resolution Choices: 480p vs 720p
480p (832x480 for 16:9):
- Best for: Quick prototypes, social media previews, rapid testing
- Advantages: Faster generation, smaller file sizes, adequate for mobile viewing
- Use when: Speed matters more than maximum quality
720p (1280x720 for 16:9):
- Best for: Final presentations, professional deliverables, larger displays
- Advantages: Higher quality, more detail, better for full-screen viewing
- Use when: Quality is the primary concern
Frame Rate Considerations
- 24fps: Cinematic standard, smooth natural motion
- Lower frame rates: Can create stylistic effects or reduce file size
- Higher frame rates: Require more frames (increased generation time)
⚠️ Important: Pricing is based on video duration at 16fps. Higher frame rates may affect cost calculations if you're using paid tiers in the future.

Aspect Ratio Strategy
Landscape (16:9):
- Traditional video format
- Ideal for YouTube, presentations, desktop viewing
- Matches most camera and screen proportions
Portrait (9:16):
- Mobile-first format
- Perfect for Instagram Stories, TikTok, Snapchat
- Vertical scrolling compatibility
Advanced Parameter Tweaks
Seed Control:
- Leave blank for random variations
- Set specific seed for reproducible results
- Useful for comparing parameter effects
Sample Shift (Default: 12):
- Affects motion smoothness and creativity
- Higher values can increase variation
- Lower values maintain more consistency
Number of Frames:
- 81 frames: Standard duration, balanced results
- 121 frames: Longer videos, more complex motion
- Adjust based on desired video length
