Monkey King Laughing in the Alchemy Chamber
One identity reference image plus an eight-second beat map: Sun Wukong laughs beside the Eight-Trigrams furnace — a shallow fold, a deep fold, a single backward laugh, a dead stop on the silence gap, then a high open palm and a low closed fist.

Handheld Selfie Portrait
A great example of writing camera direction into a video prompt: lock a first-person viewpoint, ask for two sudden close-ups, and keep handheld shake, brief focus misses and phone-camera grain. Copy the phrasing to control the look of your own clip.

These twelve prompts are copyable because each one was rewritten against a finished clip
This is not a gallery of pretty AI videos; it is a reusable list of video prompts. Every entry was generated for real, watched back, and then edited in wording. The structure you see here — lock the subject and action, pin identity consistency, write how the camera moves over time, then add texture and negative prompts — is exactly why these clips reproduce. Pick the one closest to what you want, copy the original, change only the subject or wardrobe, and leave the rest alone; touch the camera and lighting block only when you want a different style. Model, duration and resolution on each card are the ones actually used, all inside the 4–12s tier the model accepts, so you never have to guess parameters.
The four-part structure behind these prompts
01Subject and action
One sentence for who, where and what they are doing, with age and build pinned down (for example an adult East Asian woman, 26–28, petite and slim). A vague description of a pretty girl mostly buys you a random face.
02Consistency locks
Rules such as the same face throughout, a single garment, unchanged hair length decide whether the person survives a camera move. The longer the clip or the more shots, the more these matter.
03Camera and timeline
Write camera behaviour per beat (0–3s, 3–7s and so on) or the model loses any sense of time. Ask only for a slow dolly back and the move often finishes in the first second, leaving the rest static.
04Texture and negatives
Pores, film grain and real handheld shake are what make a clip read as footage. Negative prompts are what keep plastic skin, face swaps, extra fingers, watermarks and subtitles out.
From a prompt to your own clip in three steps
- STEP 1
Pick the right one
Close-up portraits: AB-01 to AB-04. Slice of life: AB-05 and AB-06. DV documentary: AB-07 to AB-09. Story beats: AB-10 and AB-11. Commercial finish: AB-12.
- STEP 2
Change one variable at a time
Swap the subject or wardrobe first and render one clip; only then touch camera or duration. Change three things at once and you cannot tell which line broke it.
- STEP 3
Copy it into the studio
Paste the text, pick a 4–12s tier and an aspect ratio, and generate with a free API key. If the clip misses, come back and edit that one line instead of rewriting the whole block.

Questions these prompts usually raise
How are these different from prompt templates circulating online?
Each one was calibrated against its finished clip: the model, duration and resolution on the card are the ones actually used, not a generic recipe. You can reproduce it directly, and you can see which line does what — something a template cannot show you.
How long should a video prompt be?
Forty to sixty words is enough for a single shot with simple action. Clips that need several beats and identity locks often run past 1500 characters. AB-01 to AB-04 here sit in the middle range, AB-07 to AB-11 are long form — compare them side by side to feel the trade-off.
Should I write prompts in English?
Either works. This library is in English because terms for skin texture, camera movement and film grain are covered more densely in English training data, which also makes prompts portable across languages. Mixing a Chinese subject line with an English style block is common too.
Why is every entry 4 to 12 seconds?
Those are the duration tiers the current model accepts (4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12). Anything longer has to be split into segments or handled by the multi-scene mode; cramming it into one prompt loses action and wrecks the pacing.
Can I reuse a prompt as is?
The prompt text is free to adapt and reuse. How you use the generated clip depends on the model provider terms; every entry here is published on our channel, so you can compare prompt and result directly.
