How do I write better prompts?
Be specific about subject, action, setting, lighting and camera. Add reference images or a saved character when something has to look the same every time.
- Lead with the subject and what it's doing: "a woman in a red coat walking through rain".
- Add setting and light: "neon-lit Tokyo street at night, wet reflections".
- For video, describe the camera: "slow dolly in", "handheld", "drone orbit".
- Use references for faces, products or outfits instead of describing them.
- Change one thing per attempt so you know what made the difference.
- Browse Explore for prompts that already work.
