Use cases
Starting points you can copy into the generator above.
| Use case | Good for | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|
| Action scenes | Stunts and fights that feel real. | A parkour runner vaults over a railing and flips off a wall on a city rooftop, tracking camera, golden hour |
| Emotional close-ups | Faces that act. | Close-up of an old man reading a letter, his lips tremble and he slowly smiles, soft window light |
| Anime clips | Stylized animated scenes. | Anime style: a girl with a red scarf runs along a seaside train platform as petals blow past, dramatic camera swing |
| Dance | Fluid choreography. | A ballet dancer performs a grand jeté across a dark stage under a single spotlight, slow motion |
