Best Practices

Core Principles

1. Be Specific: The clearer and more precise your prompt, the less likely you'll get unpredictable or bizarre results.

2. Less is More: Don't overload subjects or actions with too many modifiers — it blurs the focus.

3. Leverage References: When text alone can't describe a complex composition, camera movement, or effect, find suitable image and video assets to assist.

4. Physical Plausibility: Avoid describing physically impossible scenarios — the model relies on real-world physics to some extent.

💡 Universal Starter Formula

[Scene type] + [Subject 1][State 1] + [Subject 2][State 2] + [Environment] + [Lighting & Mood] + [Camera Movement]
