The quality of generated media depends heavily on the prompt. These tips help you get usable results faster.

Prompt tips

  • Be specific about subject, setting, style, and mood.
  • For video, describe the motion or action you want, not just the scene.
  • Generate a few variations and pick the best for your timeline.
  • Refine the prompt and regenerate rather than settling for a near-miss.
