Structure
Great prompts read like a mini-script: setting → subject → action → mood → shot type. Example: "Golden-hour beach, a runner in slow motion crests a dune, triumphant, wide cinematic shot."
Anchor the style
Reinforce the visual style you selected. Words like 'anamorphic', 'shallow depth of field', or 'high-key studio lighting' produce noticeable, consistent looks.
Avoid names of real people
Real celebrity names get blocked by AI safety filters. Use archetypes — 'legendary striker in blue and white' — or let ClipForge auto-sanitize.
Series prompts
For a series, give each episode a distinct hook but reuse the same character description and location for continuity.
