Establish the scene
Name the subject, environment, and framing. Choose details that matter to the motion rather than describing every object in the setting.
Video / Use case
Describe a scene.
Give it a next moment.
Develop a motion brief from text by separating the scene, the subject’s action, and the camera’s behavior.
Text to Video starts without a fixed visual reference. That gives you room to explore, but it also means the brief needs to explain how the scene is arranged and what happens over time. Aim for a coherent shot rather than a list of unrelated moments.

Give the scene a purpose.
From input to intention
Plan one shot worth watching.
Prepare the input, express the intention, and review what actually changed.
Describe the action separately
State what the subject does and what the camera does. Give the movement a clear direction and avoid competing instructions that cannot coexist in one shot.
Define and inspect the ending
Decide whether the shot should settle, continue moving, or transition. Review the actual sequence from beginning to end for coherence and unwanted cuts.
Start with a useful brief
A direction you can adapt.
Use this as a starting brief, then adjust it to your own source and intention.
Example direction
A lone cyclist travels along a quiet coastal road in soft morning light. The camera follows at a steady distance from the side. Gentle fabric movement, stable road geometry, no sudden cuts. Finish as the cyclist moves toward the open stretch ahead.
Illustrative creative brief. It is not the recorded prompt for the displayed sample.
01
A video prompt needs temporal structure
A description such as “a beautiful coast” defines appearance but not progression. Add an action and explain how the shot develops.
For a first attempt, keep the progression simple enough to evaluate. A camera move, a subject action, and a small environmental change may be plenty without adding several scene changes.
02
Avoid contradictory camera instructions
A locked camera, a fast orbit, and a slow push-in are different intentions. Combining them without timing or priority can make the desired shot unclear.
Choose the main behavior first. If a change of camera behavior is essential, describe the sequence and review whether the output actually follows it.
03
Use the result to refine the brief
If the subject is correct but the motion is wrong, revise the motion sentence. If the composition is unstable, consider whether an image-led starting point would communicate the visual structure more clearly.
Available settings and costs must come from the current workflow. This page does not promise a fixed duration, frame rate, audio mode, or output resolution.
The useful details
A few good
questions.
Should I write a story or a shot description?
For a simple generation, start with a shot description. A story may require multiple separately planned shots rather than one overloaded prompt.
Can I control camera movement through text?
Describe the intended movement where the workflow accepts it, but evaluate the actual output rather than assuming exact adherence.
When is Image to Video a better choice?
When the starting composition or subject appearance is already important and a supported image reference can express it clearly.
Does a text-to-video prompt include audio automatically?
Do not assume that. Audio behavior depends on the selected and connected mode.
