Recommendations by scenario
Product reveal
Lock the product and ask for one camera move plus one material effect.
Architecture
Describe the camera path, time of day, and one environmental motion.
Social loop
Use a short reversible action and a simple centered composition.
Concrete examples
- 01A ceramic lamp turns on gradually, fixed close shot, warm light spreads across a dark wall, five-second loop, 1:1.
- 02Slow dolly through a concrete courtyard, grasses move gently, blue-hour ambient light, no people, 16:9.
- 03A silver sneaker rotates ninety degrees on a matte plinth, one soft shadow moves left to right, clean 9:16 ad.
Limitations and pitfalls
- Prompting cannot guarantee exact frame-level motion.
- Negative instructions may still be ignored in complex scenes.
- Reference-image quality strongly affects image-to-video output.
