Use a clear reference frame
Prompt what should change
Download or iterate from history
For image-to-video, the still frame already carries subject, composition, and style. The text prompt should focus on movement: camera drift, environmental motion, product rotation, character gesture, or lighting change.
Keep the reference image readable
Use images with one dominant subject, stable framing, and enough negative space for motion. If the source image is crowded, the model has less room to interpret movement cleanly.
