Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
A slow, calm background video of {{subject}}, for {{use_case}}, with text placed on top of it. The clip is meant to loop: the last frame matches the first, so it can repeat without a visible jump. Motion: {{motion}}. The movement is gentle and continuous, at the same pace from start to finish, with nothing that starts or stops abruptly, so the loop point cannot be seen. Camera: a locked-off static shot, or at most a very slow, steady drift in one direction, with no cuts, zooms or changes of angle. Light and style: {{look}}, soft and even, with low contrast and muted colors so white or dark text stays readable over any part of the frame. The {{text_area}} of the frame stays especially calm and plain, with no bright highlights or busy detail. The look should be understated and refined, in the style of a well-designed product homepage. Timing and format: {{duration_seconds}} seconds, one continuous shot, {{aspect_ratio}}. Sound: silence, because background videos play muted. Leave out people, faces, text, logos, watermarks and anything that pulls the eye, such as flashing light or fast motion. If a smooth loop is not possible with this motion, make the motion simpler rather than adding a cut or a fade.
Variables
- {{subject}}
- What is shown, for example "soft morning light moving across a linen curtain" or "slow clouds over a hillside".
- {{use_case}}
- Where it plays, for example "the hero section of our homepage" or "the screen behind the stage at our conference".
- {{motion}}
- What moves, concretely, for example "the curtain sways slightly and the light shifts slowly from left to right".
- {{look}}
- The color and feel, for example "warm, soft focus, slightly desaturated".
- {{text_area}}
- Where the text will sit, for example "left half" or "center".
- {{duration_seconds}}
- A clip length your video model supports; check its settings.
- {{aspect_ratio}}
- 16:9 for most web pages and screens, 9:16 for a phone-first page.
Why it works
- What good looks like. Low contrast, muted color and a calm area where the text goes keep a headline readable over every frame, which is the whole job of a background video.
- Length. Steady motion at one pace and a static or barely drifting camera make the loop point hard to see. Most models cannot promise a perfect loop, so use a loop or end-frame setting if yours has one, or crossfade the ends in an editor.
- What to avoid. No people, text or eye-catching motion, because anything that draws attention competes with the words on top.
