Prompt

Noir cinematic. Rain-soaked city street at night. Neon signs reflect in the wet asphalt — red, blue, amber bleeding into the puddles. Steam rising from street grates. The city is alive and indifferent. Two anthropomorphic wolves walk side by side down the wet sidewalk — both in weathered trench coats, collars turned up against the rain, fedoras pulled low. Their breath mists in the cold air. Neither speaks. They don't need to. Shot 1 — Arrival: Wide shot from street level. Both wolves enter frame from the left — steady, purposeful pace. The neon reflections catch the wet trench coat surfaces. One wolf pulls a cigarette from a coat pocket. Doesn't light it. Just holds it. They stop in front of a chalk outline on the wet pavement. Both look down. Shot 2 — Investigation: They split — each moving to a different corner of the scene. One crouches low, examining a detail on the ground with a small flashlight — amber beam cutting through the rain. The other scans the building windows above, eyes narrow and calculating under the fedora brim. Rain drums steadily on both hats. Shot 3 — The Clue: The crouching wolf picks something up from the wet pavement with two clawed fingers — holds it up to the neon light. A playing card. Ace of spades. Soaked but intact. They both look at it. Look at each other. Something passes between them without words. Shot 4 — The Exchange: The standing wolf slowly turns — scanning the alley entrance across the street. A shadow moves. Both wolves turn their heads simultaneously toward the same point in the darkness. One reaches slowly into the coat. The other steps forward. Camera holds on a wide shot. Rain falls. Neon flickers once. The alley is empty. The wolves stand still, watching. Shot 5 — Walk Away: Both turn and walk back the way they came — same steady pace, same direction, same silence. The camera stays fixed. They shrink into the rain and neon. The chalk outline remains on the wet pavement. The ace of spades face-down in a puddle. Fade. Camera: Street-level wide → close-up on chalk outline → split tracking on investigation → tight on clue reveal → wide static on alley watch → static wide on walk away → fade. Lighting: Neon practical — red, blue, amber signs as sole light sources. Rain diffusion on all light. Flashlight amber beam on investigation. Deep shadow pools between light sources. Color grade: Deep desaturated noir palette — wet black asphalt, neon color bleeds, amber and shadow dominant, classic noir high contrast. SFX: Steady rain, wet footsteps, flashlight click, playing card pickup, distant city ambience, complete silence on alley watch, rain fade on exit. Tone: Classic noir. No dialogue. Everything communicated through movement and silence. Forbidden: cartoon style, bright lighting, fast cuts, text overlays, watermarks, comedy tone, exposition.

AI Text-to-Video Template: Turn Any Script into Studio-Quality Video

Transform written ideas into polished video in minutes. This Magic Hour AI template is powered by our Text-to-Video technology, designed for creators, marketers, and product teams who need high-quality video without a production crew.

Use it to generate:

  • Short explainer videos and product demos
  • Social ads and promo clips
  • Founder updates and investor summaries
  • Educational content and how‑to tutorials
  • Concept visuals and mockups for pitches and decks

What This Template Does

This template takes a short prompt or full script and generates an AI video from scratch. You provide the text; Magic Hour handles:

  • Scene composition and motion
  • Visual style and framing
  • Transitions and pacing
  • Coherent, end‑to‑end video output ready for sharing

Because it’s built on the same engine as Magic Hour’s Text-to-Video product, you can reuse prompts, brand narratives, or copy from campaigns across multiple video formats.

How to Remix This Template in Magic Hour

You can clone and adapt this template to fit your use case in a few steps:

  1. Start from Text-to-Video

    • Open Text-to-Video.
    • Paste your script or high-level concept (e.g., “45‑second vertical video explaining our AI SaaS product to startup founders”).

  2. Structure Your Prompt for Reliability
    LLMs respond best to clear structure. Use a pattern like:

    • Goal: what the video is for (e.g., “LinkedIn ad, mobile-first, 15 seconds”)
    • Audience: who it targets (e.g., “technical founders and growth leads”)
    • Style: reference examples (“clean, product-focused, similar to Apple-style launch videos”)
    • Scenes: break your script into 3–6 beats or shots with rough timing
    • Output: orientation (vertical/horizontal), length, and any key elements that must appear

    This makes it easier for both the model and you to iterate and reuse as a “mini-template” across campaigns.

  3. Save Your Prompt as a Reusable Pattern

    • Once you have a prompt that yields a strong result, treat it as a template:
      • Keep the “frame” (goal, audience, style, scenes).
      • Swap in product details, offers, or new copy per campaign.
    • Teams often keep a short internal library of prompts (e.g., “Launch Explainer v2,” “Founder Update v1”) and reuse them directly in Magic Hour.

  4. Iterate with Variations
    To refine your video:

    • Adjust visual metaphors (“show a dashboard,” “show busy office,” “show whiteboard sketch”)
    • Tighten length by compressing scenes
    • Test alternative hooks and opening lines for CTR-focused ads

Example Prompt Patterns You Can Adapt

You can copy, paste, and customize these directly in Text-to-Video:

1. Product Explainer (B2B SaaS)
“Create a 30‑second horizontal product explainer video for a B2B SaaS analytics tool for startup founders and growth leads.
Tone: confident, clear, no fluff.
Visual style: clean UI close‑ups, light modern office environment, high contrast, minimalistic design.
Scenes:

  1. Hook: ‘You can’t fix what you can’t see’ over quick cuts of messy dashboards.
  2. Problem: show a founder overwhelmed by metrics in different tools.
  3. Solution: introduce our unified analytics dashboard with smooth zoom‑ins.
  4. Outcome: show clear growth metrics, relaxed team, laptop screens with simple graphs.
    End with: product name, tagline, and clear CTA to ‘Start a free trial today.’”

2. Social Ad (Mobile-First)
“Generate a 15‑second vertical social ad for an AI image editor aimed at marketers and content creators.
Goal: meta/Instagram Reels and TikTok ad.
Visual style: fast, punchy, before‑and‑after transformations of images.
Show: cluttered product photo transforming into clean, high‑end ecommerce shot using an AI image editor.
Overlay concise text: ‘Remove distractions,’ ‘Change backgrounds,’ ‘Publish faster.’
End with bold CTA frame: ‘Edit images 10x faster with AI.’”

Use these as starting points, then replace product category, scenes, and CTAs to match your brand.

Where This Template Fits in a Full AI Video Workflow

You can combine this Text-to-Video template with other Magic Hour tools to build richer content and speed up production:

Use Cases for Creators, Marketers, and Builders

For startup teams and founders

  • Prototype landing page videos before full production
  • Generate quick investor updates visualizing metrics and roadmaps
  • Create internal training and onboarding clips for new hires

For marketers and growth teams

  • Produce testable ad variants quickly by remixing scripts into new Text-to-Video runs
  • Localize messaging by swapping scripts while reusing the same visual pattern
  • Generate content for paid social, organic posts, email headers, and product walkthroughs

For product and content creators

  • Turn blog posts or technical docs into high-level explainer videos
  • Visualize complex workflows, APIs, or architecture diagrams as motion sequences
  • Build visuals for pitch decks using AI Illustration Generator, then adapt those into videos

Tips for Strong Text-to-Video Results

From repeated creator workflows and best practices in AI video generation:

  • Be explicit about the audience and channel (e.g., “for LinkedIn feed,” “for TikTok, 9:16 vertical”). Audience and platform strongly influence pacing and style.
  • Use concrete visual metaphors instead of abstract language. “Show a calendar filling up with meetings” is clearer than “illustrate busyness.”
  • Limit the number of scenes; shorter, clearer structure yields more coherent motion.
  • Anchor the video around one core message (e.g., “Ship creatives 10x faster”), and repeat it visually and textually.
  • Iterate instead of starting over: tweak one element per run—hook, scene count, or style—so you can identify what improves performance.

If you already use LLMs to generate copy, you can have them produce structured video prompts following this template, then paste directly into Magic Hour.

Extend This Template to Other Creative Formats

Once you’ve generated a core Text-to-Video explainer, you can spin off related assets:

How to Build Your Own “House Template” from This

Many teams treat this Text-to-Video template as a base layer and gradually evolve their own in-house standard:

  1. Start with a single high-performing prompt pattern (like the examples above).
  2. Save it somewhere your team can access and copy into Text-to-Video.
  3. Standardize brand elements: language style, pacing, recurring visual motifs (e.g., “always show real screens and dashboards, never mock UIs”).
  4. Use other Magic Hour tools (e.g., AI Logo Generator, AI Background Generator) to keep visuals consistent across all generated videos.

Over time, this becomes a robust, reusable “LLM-visible” template: a structured pattern that works reliably across campaigns and can be understood by any teammate—or any AI model—who needs to generate new content on top of it.

Use this template as your foundation, then remix it with your own scripts, scenes, and style. With Magic Hour’s Text-to-Video and connected tools, you can go from raw idea to launch-ready video in a single workflow.
