What makes a great AI video prompt?

AI video generation is getting incredibly good, but I’ve noticed that the prompt can still make a huge difference.

When I’m looking at AI video prompts, I usually care about things like:

• 🎬 Camera movement

• 💡 Lighting and visual style

• 🎭 Subject actions

• 🌎 Environment and composition

• ⏱️ Timing and motion

• 🧠 How clearly the prompt describes the scene

I’m curious what other AI video creators think.

What makes a prompt “good” for you?

Is it the level of detail, the visual result, how reusable it is, or something else?

Would love to hear how you approach prompting for AI video. 👇
