💡Prompt Tips

Whether you’re generating a cinematic trailer, a talking animal, or a surreal dream sequence — your prompt sets the stage.

🧩 1. Be Specific

Avoid vague phrases. The more detailed your prompt, the better the output.

✅ Good: A stylish gorilla in a velvet suit walking through neon-lit Tokyo at night, cinematic lighting, wide-angle

❌ Bad: Cool monkey in city

💡 Think of your prompt like directing a scene. Set the tone, visuals, and mood.


🎨 2. Use Visual Descriptors

Add depth and richness using words that evoke style, color, and movement.

  • Phrases like: slow-motion, soft lighting, in the style of anime, close-up shot help guide the AI visually.


🧠 3. Include Emotions or Intent

Want a sad robot? A joyful alien? A dramatic reveal?

Add emotional direction to create engaging narratives.

⚠️ Prompts without tone or emotion can feel flat or generic.


🔊 4. Add Dialogue (Optional)

You can include quotes in your prompt for the AI to generate synced audio.

Example:

A talking cat wearing a detective hat says “I always land on my feet.” — animated, 4K, soft lighting

🗣️ REEL supports native audio and lip sync, so take advantage of it!


📏 5. Keep it ~20–40 Words

Too short = lack of detail. Too long = risk of confusion.

Find a middle ground with key elements clearly defined.

🧪 Experiment! The best prompts often come from iterating.


🚫 Common Pitfalls

  • Don’t overload with too many styles in one prompt (e.g., anime, Pixar, hyperrealism, cyberpunk, noir)

  • Avoid conflicting directions (e.g., daylight + nightclub)

  • Don’t just say “make it cool” — describe what makes it cool.


📌 Quick Checklist

✅ Who or what is in the scene?

✅ Where is it happening?

✅ What are they doing or saying?

✅ How should it look or feel?
