Tips for effective prompting

Great text to video prompts are often built through iteration.

  1. Start with one or two basic sentences. Click Enhance to refine and expand the prompt.

  2. Break down your scene into clear components. Add more details for better accuracy.

  3. Generate a video and evaluate it. Spot gaps between the output and your vision.


If a generation does not work for you, try regeneration. Repeat the same prompt before changing your prompt. This can sometimes resolve issues without having to come up with a new, more complex prompt.
