01
Paste it whole
Copy the entire prompt rather than a paragraph of it. Shortening a master prompt usually removes the part that was holding continuity together.
- Open the prompt and use Copy prompt
- Paste it as the first message
- Only then start changing details
02
Change the variables, not the frame
Swap the specific details — subject, location, wardrobe, duration — and leave the structure and camera language untouched.
[SUBJECT] — who or what is on screen
[LOCATION] — one environment only
[STYLE] — photoreal, 3D, documentary
[DIALOGUE] — or explicitly “none”
03
One location, one light, one camera move per beat
Most failed generations come from stacking changes mid-shot. Keep one location and one lighting rule for the whole clip, and give each beat a single camera behaviour.
If a model refuses a prompt, rerun the same text on a different model before rewriting it.
