Work through the steps

  1. 01

    Write visible story beats

    Describe beginning, change and ending in three sentences. Replace slogans with observable actions.

  2. 02

    Lock recurring assets

    List recurring characters, clothing, locations and props. Supply references on the actual platform; text alone does not attach them.

  3. 03

    Build the storyboard brief

    Fill in the topic and length and save the brief. Use a text tool to draft shots, then save individual shot prompts as projects.

  4. 04

    Simplify failed shots

    Reduce actions, subjects or camera movement before adding adjectives. Record the shot number and reason for each revision.

  5. 05

    Review the full edit

    Review the used frames and play the joins at normal speed. Check audio, subtitles, safe areas and output ratio.

Reusable prompt brief

Plan a {{duration}} short video about {{topic}} for {{audience}}. Visual direction: {{style}}. Inventory available assets and gaps first. Produce a shot list with shot number, story beat, subject, framing, action, camera movement, intended sound and edit-target duration. Use one main event per shot and preserve characters, clothing, locations and props. Do not promise that a model can directly output the edit-target length. Then provide one English prompt per shot and a review checklist.
