Timing and results depend on your chosen tool. This is a shot plan, not a downloadable project file or a tested model preset.

From a prompt to your own edit.

  1. 1. Read the shot plan.

    Explore the illustrated beats, framing and timing. Use the complete prompt for a continuous scene or a single beat for a shorter shot.

  2. 2. Copy and adapt.

    Copy the visible text and adjust it for your external video tool. Review its costs and privacy terms before uploading an authorized photo there.

  3. 3. Review the result.

    Check motion and continuity, then trim your clip. Use consenting adults and label the performance as AI-generated and fictional when sharing.
