🔍 Tips for Better Video Prompts

Writing strong prompts is key to getting better Veo 2 results. Here’s how to guide the model more effectively:

  • Be specific: “a close-up of a camera lens in a neon-lit studio” is better than “camera shot”

  • Include action: Add movement like “a golden retriever in sunglasses surfing a massive wave”

  • Add visual direction: Try mentioning ambiance, lighting, or camera motion like “aerial drone shot of a cyberpunk city at dusk”

  • Use image input if needed: Uploading an image as a starting frame can help guide composition

  • Control generation: Use the negative prompt box to avoid unwanted elements (e.g., "no text overlay")

  • Select settings intentionally: Choose portrait (9:16) for Reels or landscape (16:9) for YouTube
