Simple Video Prompt Examples

Ready-made examples for text-to-video and image-to-video — copy, paste, and generate short videos

Simple Video mode only needs a "Video Description". The more specific the description, the closer the footage matches your imagination. The examples below can be copied and used directly, or you can swap out the scene, subject, or style for your own version.

#1Lakeside Dusk in Autumn

Example Prompt
A lakeside town at sunset, golden sunlight sparkling on the water, gentle ripples drifting across the surface, a few egrets gliding slowly overhead, the camera slowly pushing in, the trees on the distant hills dyed orange-red.

With all three elements in place — scene (lakeside), lighting (sunset, golden sunlight), and subject (egrets) — adding a "slow push-in shot" keeps the footage from feeling static.

#2Croissant Close-Up

Example Prompt
A close-up of a freshly baked croissant, golden crispy layers, a crisp crunch as it is cut open, butter slowly melting, steam rising gently, set in a cozy café with warm-toned lighting.

Close-ups are great for showing texture. Detail words like "crisp crunch" and "gentle steam" give the footage a more lived-in feel.

#3Neon Street After Rain

Example Prompt
A city street at night, the rain-soaked ground reflecting neon lights, pedestrians walking past with transparent umbrellas, the camera panning slowly to follow a pedestrian, long light trails stretching behind distant traffic.

Combining lighting (neon, reflections) with camera movement (tracking pan) works well for atmospheric street videos.
