Understanding Prompt Engineering
The quality of your generated videos in Pusa App depends heavily on how well you craft your text prompts. Unlike simple image generation, video creation requires understanding of temporal dynamics, motion, and narrative flow. This guide will help you write prompts that produce the best possible results.
Core Principles of Effective Prompts
1. Be Specific and Descriptive
Vague prompts lead to generic results. Instead of "a car," specify "a red sports car with chrome wheels." Include details about:
- Objects: Color, size, material, brand, style
- Actions: Specific movements, speed, direction
- Environment: Lighting, weather, location, time of day
- Camera: Angle, distance, movement
2. Structure Your Prompts Logically
Organize your prompt in a logical sequence that the AI can follow:
Subject + Action + Environment + Camera + StyleExample: "A golden retriever running through a sunlit meadow, camera following from behind, cinematic style"
3. Consider Temporal Flow
Videos have a beginning, middle, and end. Structure your prompts to guide this flow:
- Setup: Establish the scene and subjects
- Action: Describe the main movement or transformation
- Resolution: Indicate how the scene concludes
Advanced Prompt Techniques
Using Temporal Markers
Include words that indicate timing and sequence:
- "Then" - for sequential actions
- "Gradually" - for slow transformations
- "Suddenly" - for quick changes
- "While" - for simultaneous actions
- "After" - for cause-and-effect sequences
Motion Descriptors
Be specific about how things move:
- Speed: Slowly, quickly, rapidly, gently
- Style: Gracefully, clumsily, smoothly, jerkily
- Pattern: In circles, back and forth, up and down
- Direction: Forward, backward, sideways, diagonally
