Learn more about text-to-video generation

Describe one filmable shot with a clear subject, action, setting and camera intention. Your agent can turn that direction into a bounded first generation.

Write a shot, not a whole story

Specify what is visible during a short period: subject appearance, action, environment, framing, camera movement, lighting and mood. Split scene changes into separate shots.

How detailed should a text-to-video prompt be?

Include details that affect the visible result and omit instructions the camera cannot show. Prioritise subject consistency and physical action over long backstory or several competing style references.

Approve a short draft before extending

Review motion, anatomy, camera behaviour, unwanted objects and the ending frame. Refine the shot before requesting more duration or matching shots for a sequence.

Example prompt

This prompt keeps the generation to one observable shot.

Example prompt to give your agent

Use Scrollport's Text-to-video capability to create a [DURATION] [ASPECT RATIO] shot for [USE]. Show [SUBJECT] [ACTION] in [SETTING]. Frame it as [SHOT SIZE], move the camera [CAMERA MOVEMENT], and use [LIGHTING AND MOOD]. Preserve [IMPORTANT DETAILS], avoid [EXCLUSIONS], and show me the price before the paid run.
