AI cinematic video prompt generator

AI cinematic video prompt generator

A shot list for a cinematic sequence — logline, number of shots, lens, light, palette and movement — so a video model gets a sequence rather than one adjective-heavy sentence.

How this is calculated

The prompt gives the scene, the number of shots, the lens, light, palette and camera movement, and asks for each shot separately with framing, action and duration, so the shots can be generated one at a time.

  • Continuity between generated shots is not guaranteed — faces, costume and light drift. Keep the descriptions identical where continuity matters, and expect to re-roll.
  • This page assembles a prompt from your own words. It does not contact an AI service, holds no API key and makes no network request: the text appears in this tab, and Copy or Download takes it away. A prompt is an instruction, not a fact — check whatever a model returns against a source, and do not paste personal, confidential or identifying information into a service you have not chosen to trust.

A cinematic sequence is a shot list, not one long sentence. This page writes the brief — logline, shot count, lens, light, palette and camera — and asks for each shot separately. Nothing is sent.

Why the shots are separate

A model asked for a whole sequence in one prompt tends to render the sequence as one shot with the events compressed into it. The builder asks for each shot separately, numbered, with its framing, action and duration, so each can be generated on its own and cut together afterwards. The lens, light and palette are stated once and repeated across the list, which is how continuity is planned rather than hoped for.

The logline is where the scene belongs: one or two sentences that say who is where and what changes. Everything else in the brief is a rendering decision, and keeping the two separate makes it easier to change the look without rewriting the scene.

Continuity is not guaranteed

Faces, costume and light drift between generated shots, because each one is a separate generation with no memory of the last. Repeating the descriptions exactly where continuity matters helps; it does not fix it. Plan for re-rolls, and keep a shot that works rather than regenerating the whole sequence to fix one.

The page also cannot know how long a shot should be for your edit. The durations come back as suggestions from the model; the cut is yours.

Questions readers ask

What if I leave the shot count empty?

The prompt asks for four shots. That is the page choosing a default, and the verdict says so; enter a number if the sequence needs a different length.

Can I generate the whole sequence in one go?

You can paste the list, but a single generation will usually compress it. Generating shot by shot and cutting the results is the approach the list is written for.
