What is a Prompt?
A prompt is the text or phrase that describes your vision. It is the primary way you communicate with the AI to generate images or videos.
A prompt can range from a few keywords to a detailed paragraph. The more specific and descriptive, the more unique and compelling the results will be. Take a moment to define your vision, and let your words guide the creative process.
Prompting Tips & Tricks
While modern generative models are more powerful, well-crafted prompts remain essential. Using detailed descriptions and specific techniques is still the best way to unlock the full potential of the AI and achieve truly exceptional results.
Core Prompt Structure:
Subject + Style + Action & Scene + Visual Details + Camera / Quality
You can adjust the order or omit parts as needed, but include at least the first four elements.
⭐ Practical Tips:
- Start with 'Subject + Style', then gradually add details.
- Separate keywords with commas for better parsing.
- The more specific the prompt, the more stable the result.
- If results are unsatisfactory, adjust the subject description or style first.
Detailed Best Practices:
1. Define a Clear Subject. Clearly define what matters most in the output to avoid vague or off-topic results.
What to include:
- Subject type: person, animal, object, scene, or concept
- Quantity: single or multiple, if multiple, be specific with numbers (eg, five women)
- Key traits: age, gender, appearance, role, or identity
Example: A single young Asian woman with long black hair, wearing a white dress
2. Specify the Visual Style. Define the artistic direction.
What to include:
- Art style: photography, illustration, 3D, anime, oil painting, stock image
- Medium or use case: cinematic, commercial, concept art
- Quality level: realistic, stylized, ultra-detailed
Example: A futuristic city skyline in the style of a cyberpunk 3D render
3. Refine with Details (Composition & Lighting). Enhance the atmosphere by adding keywords for composition, lighting, color palette, or mood.
Common elements:
- Composition: centered, wide shot, close-up, cinematic composition
- Angle: eye-level, low angle, top-down
- Lens details: 35mm, 50mm, shallow depth of field
- Lighting: soft lighting, backlight, neon lights
- Color: warm tones, cool blue tones, high contrast
- Mood: moody, peaceful, dramatic
Example: Close-up portrait, dramatic sunset lighting, warm golden tones, serene mood
4. Quality & Constraints (Optional). Reduce low-quality outputs and unwanted artifacts.
What to include:
- Quality boosters
- Negative constraints
Example: Ultra high resolution, highly detailed, no blur, no distortion
