AI video generator guide: prompts, pacing and editing
AI video rewards specific direction. Describe the camera, the subject, the light and the motion — then keep each generated shot short and cut between them.
Write prompts like a shot list
A weak prompt names a subject. A strong prompt names a shot: lens, camera move, subject action, environment, lighting and mood. Generate several short shots rather than one long take — short clips are more reliable and easier to edit.
- Camera: slow dolly-in, handheld follow, static wide, overhead
- Light: golden hour, soft studio key, neon night, overcast
- Motion: what moves, how fast, and in which direction
- Style: cinematic, documentary, product commercial, anime
Add voice and music
Generate the voiceover separately so you can control pacing, then place music underneath at a level that never fights the narration. Captions are not optional for social — most viewers watch muted.
Finish in the editor
Trim the first half second of every clip, cut on motion, and keep the total under the platform's sweet spot. Export the vertical version first — it is the one most people will see.
Frequently asked questions
- How long can an AI generated video be?
- Generate in short shots and assemble them. Long single takes drift; a sequence of tight clips holds attention and stays consistent.
- Can I add my own voice instead of AI voice?
- Yes — record your narration and use the AI voice studio only for languages or takes you cannot record yourself.
