Video Prompt Guides

Make it move

A video prompt tells an AI video tool what should move after the starting image. Keep each clip simple. One clear action usually works better than many events at once.

Use a video tool with an image-to-video option and a starting image you may use. Check the clip length, cost and credits before generating. A text-only chat cannot perform this lesson by itself.

  1. Starting image — attach the picture you want to animate.
  2. Main movement — describe the main movement.
  3. Background motion — add only what helps the scene.
  4. Camera — keep it still or name one simple move.
  5. Keep the same — say what must remain unchanged.
Use the attached image as the starting frame.
The student turns one notebook page and continues reading.
Rain moves naturally outside the window.
The camera moves slowly closer. Keep the face, clothing and room unchanged.
No text or new objects.

Review the clip for changing faces, extra fingers, warped objects and sudden camera jumps. If something is wrong, simplify the movement and check the cost before trying again.

The film-specific Finish pages show how the generated clips were edited together.
