Start from a stable reference image
Image-to-video works best when the source image already contains the subject, composition, and visual style you want. Treat the image as the visual contract and the prompt as motion direction.
Write prompts in layers
Begin with the subject, then add camera movement, motion, lighting, and pacing. This keeps prompts reviewable and makes it easier to compare outputs across model versions.
Keep a reusable prompt library
Save prompts that produce reliable results for product demos, hero loops, onboarding videos, and social clips. A shared library reduces one-off experimentation and helps teams scale production.
Review with product constraints
Check whether the generated video preserves the product shape, brand colors, and important interface details. Reject visually impressive clips when they drift from the source asset.
