Practical Prompting Tips for Better Video-to-Video Results
When remixing this template, keep these prompt best practices in mind:
Be specific, not poetic
- Helpful: “Realistic 3D character, soft studio lighting, 50mm lens look, shallow depth of field.”
- Less helpful: “Beautiful, amazing, epic, cool vibes.”
Describe:
- Art style: 3D render, anime, oil painting, low-poly, comic-book, cel-shaded, photorealistic
- Lighting: studio, golden hour, neon, overcast, rim-lit
- Camera feel: handheld, tripod, dolly shot, close-up, wide shot
- Color & mood: warm, cool, moody, high-saturation, pastel
Protect what matters from the original
- If character identity, layout, or motion are important, name them in your prompt (e.g., “same character silhouette and motion, only change outfit and environment”).
Avoid conflicting instructions
- Don’t ask for “ultra-realistic Pixar anime watercolor comic” in one sentence. Pick 1–2 strong references.

- Already work with video and want to upgrade or rebrand existing footage.
