Advanced Prompt Strategies by Video Type

Different video types require distinct prompt approaches. Here's how to optimize your prompts for specific production scenarios.

Marketing Videos: Product Showcase and Brand Content

Marketing videos demand attention-grabbing visuals, clear product focus, and emotional appeal. The key is balancing aesthetic appeal with product clarity.

Strategic Approach:

• Start with product close-ups to establish detail
• Use controlled camera movements (dolly, crane) for professional feel
• Emphasize lighting that highlights product features
• Include lifestyle context to show product in use
• Keep sequences short (5-8 seconds) for social media compatibility

Example Prompt - Product Launch:

A sleek wireless earbud rests on a minimalist white marble surface, soft morning light streaming from the left creating subtle shadows. The camera begins in an extreme close-up on the metallic charging case, its LED indicator pulsing gently. As the case opens smoothly, the camera pulls back to a medium shot revealing the earbuds nestled inside. A hand enters frame from the right, fingers carefully lifting one earbud. The camera follows the movement in a smooth arc, transitioning to show the earbud against a blurred background of a modern home office. Ambient sounds: soft mechanical click of the case opening, gentle electronic chime. Color grading: clean whites, cool blues, premium aesthetic. 50mm lens, f/2.8, shallow depth of field, stable gimbal movement.

Why This Works:

• Establishes product detail immediately
• Controlled camera movement maintains professional quality
• Lighting emphasizes premium feel
• Human element (hand) adds relatability
• Audio cues enhance product interaction
• Technical specs ensure 4K quality

Pro Tip: For product videos, lock your seed across multiple shots to maintain consistent lighting and color grading. This creates a cohesive brand aesthetic across your campaign.

Educational Content: Tutorials and Explanatory Videos

Educational videos require clarity, pacing, and visual support for concepts. The challenge is maintaining viewer engagement while conveying information effectively.

Strategic Approach:

• Use medium shots for presenter visibility
• Incorporate visual metaphors for abstract concepts
• Maintain steady camera work to avoid distraction
• Include clear transitions between topics
• Design for longer sequences (10-15 seconds) to develop ideas

Example Prompt - Science Explanation:

A science educator stands in a modern laboratory, wearing a white lab coat and safety goggles. The camera holds in a medium shot at chest height as she gestures toward a glass beaker on the counter containing a blue liquid. As she speaks, her right hand moves deliberately toward the beaker, pausing mid-air for emphasis. The camera slowly pushes forward to a medium close-up, bringing both her face and the beaker into frame. Behind her, out-of-focus lab equipment creates depth. Soft overhead fluorescent lighting with warm practical lights from equipment. Her expression shifts from neutral to engaged as she explains. Ambient sounds: quiet lab hum, occasional equipment beep, clear voice with slight echo. Natural motion blur, tripod-locked stability, 35mm lens equivalent.

Why This Works:

• Clear presenter visibility for connection
• Deliberate pacing matches educational content
• Visual focus on demonstration object
• Stable camera avoids viewer distraction
• Professional lab setting establishes credibility
• Audio environment supports educational context

Pro Tip: For tutorial sequences, describe the presenter's gestures and facial expressions explicitly. This helps LTX-2 generate natural teaching behaviors that enhance viewer comprehension.

Social Media Clips: Short-Form Viral Content

Social media demands immediate impact, fast pacing, and emotional hooks within the first second. These videos must capture attention instantly and maintain energy throughout.

Strategic Approach:

• Start with high-impact visuals or unexpected moments
• Use dynamic camera movements (whip pans, quick zooms)
• Emphasize vibrant colors and high contrast
• Keep total duration under 10 seconds
• Design for vertical or square formats when needed

Example Prompt - Lifestyle Moment:

A coffee cup slams down on a wooden table, liquid splashing dramatically in slow motion. The camera whip-pans right to reveal a person's surprised face, eyes wide, mouth forming an "O" shape. Bright morning sunlight streams through a nearby window, creating lens flare. The camera quickly zooms into a close-up of their face as they break into a wide smile. Background: trendy cafe with blurred patrons and hanging plants. Color grading: warm, saturated tones with crushed blacks for social media aesthetic. Upbeat background music with bass drop synchronized to the cup slam. Fast shutter for crisp motion, handheld feel with controlled shake, 24mm wide angle.

Why This Works:

• Immediate action grabs attention
• Dynamic camera movement maintains energy
• Emotional progression (surprise to joy) creates engagement
• Trendy aesthetic matches social media expectations
• Audio-visual sync enhances impact
• Wide angle captures environment context

Pro Tip: For social media content, use keywords like "crushed blacks," "saturated colors," and "lens flare" to achieve the stylized look that performs well on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.

Cinematic Sequences: Film-Quality Storytelling

Cinematic videos require sophisticated visual language, emotional depth, and narrative coherence. These productions demand the highest level of prompt craftsmanship.

Strategic Approach:

• Use film terminology (anamorphic, bokeh, film grain)
• Emphasize lighting mood and color temperature
• Include subtle character emotions and micro-expressions
• Design for longer sequences (15-20 seconds) with narrative arc
• Specify film emulation looks (Kodak, ARRI, etc.)

Example Prompt - Dramatic Scene:

A woman sits alone at a dimly lit bar, amber light from overhead fixtures pooling on the polished wood surface. The camera begins in a wide shot from across the room, slowly dollying forward through the hazy atmosphere. Cigarette smoke drifts lazily through shafts of blue neon light from a window sign. As the camera approaches, it transitions to a medium close-up, revealing her face in three-quarter profile. Her eyes are downcast, fingers tracing the rim of a whiskey glass. A subtle shift in her expression—eyebrows drawing together slightly, lips pressing into a thin line—suggests internal conflict. The camera holds steady, allowing the moment to breathe. Background: muted conversations, distant jazz piano, the clink of glasses. Color grading: desaturated with teal shadows and warm highlights, Kodak 2383 print emulation. 50mm anamorphic equivalent, f/2.0, natural film grain, 180-degree shutter, controlled dolly movement.

Why This Works:

• Establishes cinematic atmosphere immediately
• Slow, deliberate camera movement builds tension
• Detailed emotional cues create character depth
• Layered audio environment enhances immersion
• Film-specific technical language ensures quality
• Color grading reference provides clear aesthetic direction

Pro Tip: When creating cinematic sequences, reference specific film stocks or camera systems (Kodak 2383, ARRI Alexa look) to guide LTX-2 toward professional color science and grain structure.

4K/50FPS Parameter Optimization

Generating high-quality 4K video at 50 FPS requires careful parameter optimization. Higher resolutions and frame rates amplify artifacts, making strategic prompt engineering essential.

Resolution vs. Frame Rate Trade-offs

Understanding the relationship between resolution and frame rate helps you make informed decisions based on your project needs.

Configuration	Best For	Considerations
4K @ 50 FPS	Professional production, smooth motion	Highest quality, longer render times
4K @ 25 FPS	Cinematic look, detailed stills	Film-like motion blur, faster rendering
1080p @ 50 FPS	Social media, quick iterations	Smooth motion, faster workflow
1080p @ 25 FPS	Draft previews, concept testing	Fastest rendering, lower quality

Decision Framework:

• Choose 4K/50FPS for final deliverables requiring maximum quality and smooth motion
• Choose 4K/25FPS for cinematic projects where film-like motion blur is desired
• Choose 1080p/50FPS for social media content prioritizing smooth motion over resolution
• Choose 1080p/25FPS for rapid iteration and concept testing

• Speed: 2-3 minutes per generation
• Quality: Good for previews and concept testing
• Best For: Rapid iteration, testing multiple prompt variations
• Limitations: Slightly reduced detail in complex scenes

Pro Mode:

• Speed: 5-7 minutes per generation
• Quality: Broadcast-ready, balanced quality/speed
• Best For: Most professional productions
• Limitations: Moderate render times

Ultra Mode:

• Speed: 10-15 minutes per generation
• Quality: Maximum detail and stability
• Best For: Final deliverables, hero shots, client presentations
• Limitations: Longest render times

Pro Tip: Use Fast mode for prompt development and testing, then switch to Pro or Ultra mode for final renders. This workflow balances creative iteration with production quality.

Optimizing for Smooth 50 FPS Motion

Achieving smooth motion at 50 FPS requires specific prompt language that guides the model toward stable, coherent movement.

Keywords for Smooth Motion:

• "Steady dolly movement"
• "Tripod-locked stability"
• "Smooth gimbal tracking"
• "Constant speed pan"
• "Natural motion blur"
• "180-degree shutter equivalent"
• "Controlled camera path"

Avoid These for 50 FPS:

• "Handheld chaotic" (causes warps)
• "Shaky cam"
• "Erratic movement"
• "Rapid zoom"
• "Whip pan" (unless intentional)

Example - Optimized 50 FPS Prompt:

A cyclist rides along a coastal road at sunset, the ocean visible to the left. The camera tracks alongside in a smooth gimbal movement, maintaining constant distance and speed. The cyclist's pedaling motion is fluid and natural, with appropriate motion blur on the spinning wheels. Golden hour light creates warm tones across the scene. Steady tracking shot, 35mm lens, natural motion blur, 180-degree shutter feel, no micro-jitter, film-like cadence. Avoid high-frequency patterns in clothing or background.

Multi-Shot Sequencing Techniques

Creating cohesive multi-shot sequences requires strategic planning to maintain visual continuity across cuts.

Seed Locking Strategy

Seed locking ensures consistency in lighting, color, and style across related shots.

When to Lock Seeds:

• Same location, different angles
• Product shots for a single campaign
• Character close-ups in a scene
• Establishing shots and detail shots

When to Unlock Seeds:

• B-roll variety shots
• Different locations or times of day
• Experimental variations
• Creative exploration

Example Workflow:

Shot 1 (Seed: 12345): Wide establishing shot of cafe
Shot 2 (Seed: 12345): Medium shot of barista at counter
Shot 3 (Seed: 12345): Close-up of coffee being poured
Shot 4 (Seed: unlocked): B-roll of customers (variety)

Scene Transition Techniques

Smooth transitions between shots maintain viewer engagement and narrative flow.

Transition Methods:

1. Match Cut - Match visual elements across shots

   • Example: Close-up of spinning wheel → Close-up of spinning record

2. Action Match - Continue action across cut

   • Example: Hand reaching for door → Door opening from inside

3. Light/Color Match - Maintain lighting consistency

   • Example: Warm sunset tones → Warm interior lighting

4. Audio Bridge - Use sound to connect shots

   • Example: Music continues across location change

Pro Tip: Describe the ending frame of one shot and the beginning frame of the next shot with similar visual elements to create natural transitions in post-production.

Common Issues and Solutions

Issue 1: Motion Blur Problems

Problem: Excessive or insufficient motion blur at 50 FPS.

Solution:

• Add "natural motion blur" and "180-degree shutter equivalent" to prompts
• Avoid "fast shutter" or "crisp motion" unless intentional
• For action scenes, specify "appropriate motion blur for speed"

Example Fix:

Before: A car speeds down the highway.
After: A car speeds down the highway, wheels showing natural motion blur appropriate for high speed, 180-degree shutter equivalent, smooth tracking shot.

Issue 2: Character Consistency

Problem: Character appearance changes between shots.

Solution:

• Lock seed for character shots
• Provide detailed, consistent character descriptions
• Include specific clothing and physical details in every prompt
• Reference "same person as previous shot" when applicable

Example Fix:

Shot 1: A woman in her 30s with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a blue denim jacket and white t-shirt...
Shot 2: The same woman with shoulder-length brown hair in blue denim jacket and white t-shirt, now seen from a different angle...

Issue 3: Audio-Video Sync Problems

Problem: Audio and video elements don't align properly.

Solution:

• Use timing cues: "on the downbeat," "at 2.5 seconds"
• Describe rhythmic actions: "footsteps in steady rhythm"
• Specify regular patterns: "constant speed," "even intervals"

Example Fix:

Before: A drummer plays energetically.
After: A drummer's sticks strike the snare on each downbeat, creating a steady rhythm. Each hit produces a sharp crack synchronized with the stick contact. The camera holds steady in close-up, capturing the precise moment of impact.

Issue 4: High-Frequency Pattern Artifacts (Moiré)

Problem: Brick walls, mesh, or fine patterns create visual artifacts in 4K.

Solution:

• Add "avoid high-frequency patterns" to prompts
• Specify "smooth textures" or "soft focus on background"
• Use shallow depth of field to blur problematic areas
