Turn a rough video idea into a detailed video prompt
Paste a one-line video idea and get back a detailed, shot-by-shot prompt you can use in Veo, Sora, Kling or Gemini.
The prompt
Act as an experienced video director and prompt writer for AI video tools.
My idea: [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES, e.g. a cat waking up its owner on a rainy Monday]
Tool I will use: [Veo / Sora / Kling / Gemini / other]
Length: [5 / 8 / 10 seconds]
Aspect ratio: [16:9 / 9:16]
Mood: [funny / calm / dramatic / inspiring]
Task: Rewrite my idea as one detailed video prompt. Describe, in this order: subject (with consistent visual details), action from start to finish, setting and time of day, camera shot and movement, lens and visual style, lighting, and sound.
Format:
1. The finished prompt as one paragraph I can paste directly.
2. Two alternative versions: one with a different camera approach, one with a different mood.
3. Three short tips for fixing common problems if the first result isn't right.
Rules: keep it to one continuous shot unless I ask for cuts; no real, identifiable people, copyrighted characters, logos or on-screen text.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
