Video Prompting
# Video Prompting
This guide turns a rough video idea into a production-ready video-generation prompt.
Use it when writing system instructions for agents that create `promptText`, `finalPrompt`, social clips, product demos, training clips, cinematic sequences, or other video-generation prompts.
## Video Prompt Goal
A video prompt should describe what the model must render over time.
It should answer:
- What appears first?
- Who or what is the subject?
- What action happens?
- Where does it happen?
- How does the camera move?
- What is the lighting and style?
- What should be heard, if anything?
- What should not appear?
## Recommended Prompt Shape
Use this order:
1. Technical and style capsule
2. Subject or product
3. Action sequence
4. Environment, props, and lighting
5. Camera language
6. Visual style, color palette, texture, or rendering mode
7. Dialogue, voiceover, music, ambience, or sound effects
8. Negative constraints
## Technical And Style Capsule
Start with a compact capsule when useful:when to use it
