Advanced Prompting Tips for Better Text-to-Video

To get more control and repeatability from this template, structure prompts like a mini-director’s brief:

Scene & Context
- “Early morning in a modern startup office, sunlight through large windows, minimalistic furniture, soft shadows”
Subject & Action
- “A founder presenting a live product dashboard on a large screen, camera slowly tracking from behind the audience”
Style & Aesthetic
- “Cinematic, realistic, subtle depth of field, neutral color grading, inspired by contemporary tech ads”
Purpose / Use Case
- “Designed as a 10-second hero section video for a SaaS homepage, loopable, clean composition with empty space for overlaid text”

Include any production-specific language you use today (e.g., “A-roll/B-roll,” “macro shot,” “parallax movement”) — Magic Hour’s models typically respond well to film and design terminology.
