Your prompt

Create a 8 seconds 4:5 lifestyle video of a man in his forties in casual clothing using a French press and a bag of single-origin coffee in a sunny weekend kitchen. Action over time: he pours hot water over the grounds, watches it bloom, then pours a cup and takes a first sip. Camera: medium close-up that slowly pushes in, natural and slightly handheld, with a shallow depth of field that keeps the product clearly visible. Light: warm morning sun through a side window. Colour: warm browns, cream and soft green. Performance: relaxed, genuine, no looking at the camera, no exaggerated smiles. Sound: water pouring, a quiet kitchen ambience and soft acoustic guitar. Final frame: the product in clear view for the last second, calm space for a CTA. Constraints: no on-screen text, no logos beyond the product's, plausible hands and movement.

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 natural kitchen moment: hot water blooms over coffee grounds, a first sip, warm morning light and a clear final shot of the French press and bag.

Expected format: One clip; shortlist the take with the most natural hands and movement.

How to use it

  1. Keep actions simple and physically plausible.
  2. Reject clips with odd hands or product handling.
  3. Test against a polished version of the same offer.

Limitations

  • Human motion is a common failure area; inspect hands, liquids and facial expressions closely.
  • Check platform and regional rules on disclosing synthetic or AI-generated video.

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.

Kling

Not verified: third-party guidance only · checked 2026-10-11

Only third-party guidance was found for Kling: name the camera move explicitly and give the motion an end point. Treat as unverified and test.

General notes on Kling
  • Only third-party guidance was found. Reported advice: name the camera move explicitly, keep the element count modest, and give motion an end point. Model versions behave differently, so test.

Adobe Firefly Video

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

Adobe's help pages (seen via search snippet) say Firefly Video reads prompts literally and works best with a single subject doing a simple action.

General notes on Adobe Firefly Video
  • Adobe's help pages (seen via search snippet) say Firefly Video reads prompts literally and gives the best results with a single subject doing a simple action; first and last frames can improve coherence.

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.
