AI video prompts: 20 examples you can copy
In video templates you can change the starting clip with words alone. The secret is a short, concrete prompt with one change at a time. Here are 20 examples to copy and adapt.
Hair and face
- “Give him blond hair.”
- “Give him a short, tidy haircut.”
- “Add a short beard.”
- “Give him black sunglasses.”
Clothes
- “Make him wear a black leather jacket.”
- “Turn the shirt into a yellow football kit.”
- “Make him wear a long beige coat.”
- “Add a red baseball cap.”
Background and setting
- “Change the background to a beach at sunset.”
- “Turn the room into a nightclub with coloured lights.”
- “Set the scene on a city street at night.”
- “Add lots of colourful balloons in the background.”
Weather and mood
- “Add a light snowfall.”
- “Make it rain, wet street and reflections.”
- “Golden late-afternoon light.”
- “Add light fog in the background.”
Objects and details
- “Put a microphone in the person's hand.”
- “Add a dog walking in the background.”
- “Remove the hat from the person.”
- “Add a watch on the left wrist.”
How to write them well
- One main change at a time.
- Be concrete (colours, objects, place).
- With several people, say which one (“the one on the left”).
- No need to say what stays the same: movement and audio remain the originals.
To replace a person with someone else you need a photo of the person you want to insert — the sharper and fuller, the better.
