Your prompt

Create a 6 seconds 9:16 transformation video using a locked-off camera (no camera movement) on a cluttered home-office desk. Start: papers, cables and cups scattered over the desk, in flat, neutral light. Transition: at the midpoint, a smooth wipe from left to right reveals the change. End: the same desk tidy, with cables hidden in a cable tray and a single notebook, in brighter, cleaner light, same framing, same position, same angle. Realism: the change must be plausible and modest. Do not exaggerate the result; keep the same objects that exist in both states. Style: clean, bright, realistic. Sound: soft whoosh on the wipe, quiet room tone. Constraints: no on-screen text, no logos, no people unless stated: none.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

A locked-off 6-second shot of a messy desk that wipes into the same desk tidied, same angle and framing, brighter light after the wipe.

Expected format: One short clip.

How to use it

  1. Lock the camera; transitions work best with identical framing.
  2. Check that both states clearly look like the same scene.
  3. Check platform policies on before/after content for your category.

Limitations

  • Platforms restrict before/after ads for health, body and some financial categories; check current rules.
  • AI-generated transformations are illustrations, not proof; do not present them as real customer results.

Platform notes

Google video models (Gemini Omni Flash, Veo 3.1)

Official docs read · checked 2026-10-11

Google's Gemini API docs describe Veo 3.1 as generating video with native audio, and name Gemini Omni Flash as the recommended default; check current limits for duration and resolution, which the docs page did not list.

General notes on Google video models (Gemini Omni Flash, Veo 3.1)
  • Google's Gemini API docs name Gemini Omni Flash as the recommended default and Veo 3.1 for native audio, video extension and first/last-frame control.
  • Google's detailed Veo prompt guide could not be fully read, so structure here follows general video-prompt anatomy, not Veo-specific claims.

Runway (Gen-4.5 and earlier)

Official docs only partly readable · checked 2026-10-11

Per Runway's help center (seen via search snippet), with image-to-video the image is the first frame, so describe the motion rather than the scene.

General notes on Runway (Gen-4.5 and earlier)
  • Per Runway's help center (seen via search snippet), Gen-4.5 supports text-to-video and image-to-video. With image-to-video the image is the first frame, so describe the motion instead of re-describing the image.

Any text-to-video or image-to-video tool

Official docs only partly readable · checked 2026-10-11

Plain scene description that any text-to-video tool can use. OpenAI shut down Sora 2 and its Videos API on 2026-09-24, so no prompt here targets Sora.

General notes on Any text-to-video or image-to-video tool
  • Written as plain scene descriptions: subject, action over time, camera, lighting, style, aspect ratio. Duration, resolution and aspect ratio are usually settings in the tool, not words in the prompt.
  • OpenAI shut down Sora 2 and its Videos API on 2026-09-24, so none of these prompts target Sora.
