AI video models like Google Veo, OpenAI Sora, Runway, Kling, Luma and Grok Imagine can produce remarkable clips, but they're even more sensitive to the prompt than image models. A video prompt has to describe not only what's in the frame but what happens over time and how the camera moves. Vague prompts give you drifting, aimless footage. This free AI video prompt generator walks you through the elements professional prompt writers include. These are the subject and the action (what moves and how), the setting, the shot type (wide, medium, close-up), the camera movement (slow dolly in, orbit, tracking shot, handheld, drone fly-over, static tripod), lighting, visual style (cinematic 35mm film, documentary, anime, stop-motion, product commercial), pacing, and optional sound or dialogue cues for models that generate audio. You also choose the clip length and aspect ratio, such as 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. The prompt is assembled in the order video models tend to respect most: shot and camera first, then subject and action, then the look. Add a negative list to steer away from text, warping or flicker. Nothing here calls an AI. It writes the prompt in your browser for you to paste into your video tool.

How to write AI video prompts
- Describe one clear action. Short clips can’t fit a whole story.
- Name a single camera movement.
- Set the look with lighting and style.
- Keep it to one shot per prompt; stitch shots together in an editor.
Camera moves explained
- Dolly in/out: the camera physically moves closer or further.
- Orbit: the camera circles the subject.
- Tracking: the camera follows a moving subject.
FAQ
Which AI video tools does this work with?
Any text-to-video tool, including Veo, Sora, Runway, Kling, Luma, Pika and Grok Imagine.
Why does my video drift or warp?
Too many actions or vague motion. Use one action, one camera move, and add “warping, flicker” to the avoid list.
Does this generate the video?
No. It writes the prompt; paste it into your video tool.
Is my input stored?
No. Everything stays in your browser.
