What this tool does
The AI Video Prompt Generator writes prompts for AI video tools like Sora, Runway, Pika, and Veo. Video prompts need what image prompts don’t: motion, camera behavior, pacing, and duration.
Describe your shot and it returns a director-style brief — subject, action, camera move, lighting, and mood — ready to paste.
AI video is where AI image was two years ago: magical, glitchy, and improving monthly. The directors getting great results think in shots, not movies — one clean, well-described shot at a time. This generator teaches that shot discipline, so your clips look intentional instead of accidental. Marketers are already cutting full ads this way — five good shots beat one shaky minute.
See it in action
You type: a drone shot over ocean cliffs
You get a prompt like: “Slow aerial drone shot gliding along dramatic sea cliffs at sunset, waves crashing white against dark rock below, golden light flaring off the water, camera drifting forward and slightly down, epic and serene, 4 seconds, photorealistic.”
How to use it
- Describe the scene and what moves in it.
- Choose a camera move: pan, dolly, orbit, static.
- Set the mood and pace.
- Generate, copy, and run in your video tool.
Tips for better results
- One shot per prompt — video models do single shots best.
- Name the camera move explicitly; “slow push-in” beats “nice camera”.
- Keep motion simple: one main action per clip.
- Mention duration or pacing when the tool allows it.
- Generate variations and stitch the best shots together.
- Describe the first and last frame; the model fills the middle.
- Water, fire, and hair are still tricky — keep them simple.
