CinematicShort film concept
01. Cinematic Rainy City
Create a cinematic video of [main character] walking along a rain-soaked city street at night. Begin with a wide establishing shot, then slowly track forward behind the character.

Maintain consistent clothing, body proportions and environmental details throughout the shot. Duration: [5–8 seconds].
ProductBrand concepts

Use a dark elegant background, smooth camera motion and a clean final composition with negative space for later text overlays. Duration: [5–7 seconds].

Use refined colour grading, believable anatomy and an uncluttered background. Avoid unnatural limb movement or fabric flicker. Duration: [6–8 seconds].
CinematicSci-fi concepts
08. Futuristic City Reveal
Create a science-fiction city at dusk, filled with towering futuristic architecture and distant moving transport. Begin between two tall buildings, then slowly crane upward to reveal the skyline. Animated advertisements glow softly, atmospheric haze separates the buildings and distant vehicles move at a consistent speed. Use coherent architectural geometry, cinematic depth and controlled highlights. Keep the camera movement continuous and the visual design consistent throughout the shot. Avoid unreadable close-up text and rapidly changing structures. Duration: [6–9 seconds].

09. Peaceful Forest Waterfall
Create a realistic nature-documentary video of a waterfall flowing through a lush forest. The camera slowly moves forward along the riverbank, revealing moving water, moss-covered rocks and leaves swaying gently in a light breeze.

How to Write Better AI Video Prompts
A video prompt needs to describe change over time, not just a static image. Use these elements to make the intended motion easier to understand.
1. Subject and action
Identify the main subject and describe one clear action, such as walking forward, opening a door or turning toward the camera.
2. Camera movement
Choose a movement that supports the scene: slow push-in, tracking shot, gentle pan, tilt or a steady fixed camera.
3. Environment and lighting
Describe the setting, time of day, light direction and how the background should move. Keep details consistent with the mood.
4. Duration and framing
Use a duration supported by your tool and specify vertical 9:16, square 1:1 or wide 16:9 framing when available.
Common AI Video Problems and Fixes
Objects change shape between frames
Describe important visual features clearly and ask for consistent subject design, proportions, clothing and background details.
Movement looks unnatural
Give the subject one simple action and specify a natural pace. Complicated actions may work better as separate short shots.
The camera moves too much
Request one specific camera movement rather than combining several incompatible movements in a short clip.
Text and logos look incorrect
Generate a clean area for branding and add exact text or logos in a video editor after generation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI video prompt?
It is a text instruction used to guide a video-generation system. It can describe the subject, action, camera movement, setting, lighting and visual style.
Can I use these prompts with different AI video tools?
Generally, yes, but tool capabilities differ. Some support image-to-video, camera controls, negative prompts or specific duration settings, while others may not.
How long should an AI-generated video be?
Choose a duration supported by your tool. Short clips with one clear action are often easier to control than long scenes with multiple events.
Why does the output look different from the prompt?
Results depend on the model, settings, input images and how the system interprets instructions. Adjust one or two details at a time and review the result.
Can I use AI-generated videos commercially?
Check the generator's current terms and any applicable rights relating to people, music, brands, artwork and other assets before publishing or selling a video.
