Task state and drafting
Different task states need different prompt structures. Confirm the current state before drafting.
Before writing a long prompt, match your current task state in the table below and follow the corresponding path.
| Current state | What to do first | What you should have when this step ends |
|---|---|---|
| The idea is still vague | Clarify who, where, what changes on screen, and which frame the clip ends on | A short brief, then a prompt |
| The scene is already clear | Write a full prompt with the field order later in this guide | One prompt ready to generate |
| You need a short prompt | Remove adjectives and keep action, camera move, and endpoint | A compressed version of about 30–100 words |
| You need several connected clips | Split the story into clips and write only the next one | A clip map plus the Clip 01 prompt |
| You are continuing a previous take | Start from the accepted ending of the previous clip | A continuation prompt |
| You already have image, video, or audio references | Assign one clear role to each reference | A reference role map plus the prompt |
| You need first frame to last frame | Write the continuous path between them; the last frame is an end state, not a vague mood | A first/last-frame prompt |
| The take is wrong or blocked | Change one variable at a time so you can tell what mattered | A diagnosis plus a repaired prompt |
| The request involves a celebrity, brand, or real person | Keep the creative function, but replace protected identity with original or licensed content | A compliant rewrite |
