3 Rules for Realistic AI Video Generation (Kling)
Prompt formula and best practices for realistic AI video generation
A practical framework for structuring prompts and selecting input frames when generating video with Kling AI. It emphasizes concise language, a structured sequence covering subject, setting, action, and camera controls, and prioritizing quality initial keyframes over complex text.
How it works
Rule 1: Don't overload the prompt with long descriptive sentences. More words do not equal better results. Keep prompts short and focus only on essential scene details.
Rule 2: Write your prompt sequentially in this specific order:
1. Subject (e.g., 'a guy in a Blue Jacket')
2. Environment (e.g., 'at Stadium')
3. Action (e.g., 'playing basketball')
4. Camera Angle (e.g., 'close up')
5. Camera Movement (e.g., 'handheld camera')
Rule 3: A great start frame matters more than a great prompt. In image-to-video, using a high-quality keyframe with an average prompt consistently outperforms an average keyframe with an elaborate prompt.
