Prompt Guide

Get better videos with better prompts

Seven quick tips and a free builder to turn your idea into a prompt that actually delivers.

Tip 01

Be specific

Vague prompts get vague results. Describe the subject, lighting, camera movement, audio, and length. The more detail you give, the closer the output matches what's in your head.

Vague

"a house video"

Specific

"a bright modern kitchen walkthrough with warm lighting, smooth camera pan, upbeat background music, 10 seconds"

Tip 02

Control the motion

The default AI tends to render motion on the slow side. Always specify the pace you want. Add one of these to your prompt:

natural speedslow cinematicfast energetic

Pro tip: for product reveals and social, lean fast energetic. For real estate walkthroughs, natural speed feels most realistic.

Tip 03

Set the mood

Mood words shape color, lighting, and pacing. These reliably work:

Audio is included automatically in Fast mode ⚡. Cinematic mode 🎬 generates video only — add your own audio in editing.

Tip 05

Real estate tips

Upload your actual property photos and describe the vibe in words. The AI will animate your real listing instead of inventing a generic space.

Example

"Modern apartment kitchen, stainless appliances, natural light, cinematic pan, professional, 10 seconds"

Tip 06

Social media tips

Go vertical, lead with fast energy, and hook viewers in the first 2 seconds. Short, punchy, scroll-stopping.

Example

"Energetic product reveal for a skincare brand, bright studio lighting, fast cuts, vertical format, 10 seconds"

Tip 07

Ad tips

Lead with the problem or the wow moment. Emotion sells — show a feeling, not just a product.

Example

"Real estate agent showing keys to excited couple, sunny day, warm colors, emotional, cinematic, 10 seconds"
