AI video prompts
60 copy-paste AI prompts for video
Every prompt here carries the constraints that decide whether the output is usable — runtime, audience, spoken word count, banned phrasing, and the failure mode it is written to avoid. Grouped by the job you are doing, with the tools that finish the work.

Give the four constraints
Runtime in minutes, the audience and what they already know, the single takeaway, and a banned-phrase list built from your own edits. Most bad output is a missing constraint, not a weak model.
Split the job into stages
Outline, then hook, then body, then shot list, then narration markup. Approving an outline takes a minute and saves a full regeneration.
Use camera language for clips
Video models respond to shot size, lens, movement and lighting — not to story. One subject, one motion, one camera move per generation.
Audit every claim
Ask the model to table every statistic, date and quote with a confidence rating before you publish. Plausible invented figures are the most common failure in AI-assisted video.
Next step
Prompts write the script. Tools ship the video.
Once the script is right, pick the engine that renders it — compare AI video generators, captioning tools, voice engines and repurposing tools side by side.
