Best Practices for Writing Prompts
We recommend beginning with a simple, descriptive prompt and iterating by adding more details as needed.
The prompt should describe the desired motion and camera movements, using specific and positive language.
For best results, use high-quality images with a 1280:720 ratio and clear, recognizable subjects.
Be specific about the tone (“luxury,” “minimalist,” “playful”) or occasion (“holiday,” “back to school”).
Use vertical-specific language:
Retail: “Highlight the product with sparkle effects.”
Travel: “Emphasize scenic beauty.”
Finance: “Professional, clean motion with blue overlays.”
