What the Halloween Video Prompt Controls
The built-in template acts like a compact shot list. It assigns the two references to roles, describes a setting, then asks for a visual transition and an ending. A prompt gives a model direction; it does not guarantee that every frame will follow it exactly.
The sample below is generated from the current product configuration. Image mentions are written as words so the sequence is readable outside the app. Settings selected in the generator can change parts of the request.

Read the prompt as a sequence
- Cast: identify the two references and assign each a role.
- Place: establish an environment the viewer can understand quickly.
- Action: keep the central movement simple enough to read in a short clip.
- Transition: use a change in light or location to mark the emotional turn.
- Sound: request atmosphere that supports the scene without relying on dialogue.
Current two-person template
This is the current English template for two people in a wide frame. Selecting Pet changes the second character description; vertical framing adds composition guidance. It is a product configuration, not a guarantee of the rendered result.
A short photoreal film in two parts, no titles. Part one, the standoff: the bare main room of an abandoned wooden farmhouse after the outbreak, plank floor, two tall windows with grey daylight, dust in the air, open floor between the two of them with no table, counter or furniture in between. The person from reference image 1 stands with a handgun raised in both hands, tears on the cheeks, hands shaking; the person from reference image 1's skin stays clean and human in every shot. The person from reference image 2 has turned into a zombie, fully, whatever their age: ash-grey skin, cracked, peeling and blotched, with dark veins spreading from the face down the neck; sunken, dark-rimmed eye sockets; eyes completely milky white, with no pupil and no iris; dark, cracked lips over yellow, rotten teeth; their own hair, now tangled and dirty; torn, dusty clothes; the same face shape and hair as the photo, with no blood and no wounds. Shot 1 (0 to 2 s): close on the person from reference image 1's wet eyes above the raised gun, the barrel soft in the foreground. Shot 2 (2 to 4 s): over the person from reference image 1's shoulder, the person from reference image 2 comes closer through the doorway, slow and unsteady, plainly a zombie even from there (grey, cracked, peeling skin, completely white eyes, torn and dusty clothes). Shot 3 (4 to 5 s): tight on the turned face inside the farmhouse room, the bare plank wall behind: completely white eyes, dark veins, cracked skin, a low snarl. Shot 4 (5 to 7 s): front medium shot, the person from reference image 1 lowers the gun and opens both hands so it drops and lands on the plank floor at their feet, then opens both arms, eyes closing. Shot 5 (7 to 9 s): wide side-on shot across the room, the dropped gun lying on the floor at the person from reference image 1's feet, the person from reference image 1 on the right with open arms, the person from reference image 2 runs in from the left and leaps, still looking exactly like the zombie of shot 3 (grey, cracked, peeling skin, completely white eyes, torn and dusty clothes), held in mid-air an instant before they touch; the person from reference image 2 only looks healthy after the cut to the meadow. Part two, the memory: warm late-afternoon sun on a hillside meadow of tall grass, both of them as they were before, with no marks, scars or veins on either of them and nothing from the farmhouse in the meadow, no gun. Shot 6 (9 to 12 s): a match cut on the leap (a brief dissolve from the room into the meadow is fine) that carries the same leap, same framing and same body positions into the meadow; the person from reference image 2 is alive and well, clear skin, dressed in light summer clothes, lands in the person from reference image 1's open arms, and the person from reference image 1 spins them around, both laughing, slow motion. Shot 7 (12 to 15 s): close two-shot, foreheads almost touching, sun flare between them, both smiling with eyes closed. Frame: 16:9.
Keep each face and hairstyle exactly as in the photos; ignore the photo backgrounds.
Photorealistic, cinematic light, clean cuts between the shots. No split screen, no captions or text on screen. Sound: wind and shaky breathing in the farmhouse with one low growl and the thud of the dropped gun, then a soft piano theme and quiet laughter in the meadow; no dialogue.The exact wording can change as the product template changes.

What to adjust outside the template
Choose clearer references when identity drifts. Switch the scene world when the opening needs a different atmosphere. Change aspect ratio to match the destination rather than stretching or cropping the finished film afterward.


FAQ
Can I edit the prompt in the product?
The current flow uses a built-in template. The interface exposes reference, world, model, quality and frame settings.
Does a detailed prompt guarantee a better result?
No. Clear instructions can help organize a scene, but model output remains variable. Keep the action readable and inspect the export.
