Frequently asked questions

What details make an image-to-video prompt useful?+

A useful prompt names the subject from the image, the intended motion, camera behavior, pacing, style, and the details that should remain visually stable.

How can I keep image-to-video prompts concise and clear?+

Focus on one main motion idea, then add camera movement and style. This keeps the prompt easier to test while still giving the video model a clear motion brief.

How can I adapt prompts across different video models?+

Use the prompt as a reusable starting point, then adjust wording after comparing outputs. Different models may emphasize references, motion, or pacing in different ways.
