Write Better Video Prompts for CloudMySite

A good video prompt tells CloudMySite what to show, how it should move, and where the clip will be used. You do not need production language. Plain, specific instructions work best.

What to Include​

Strong prompts usually include:

  • Purpose: homepage hero, social post, product demo, ad, app preview, or background
  • Subject: the person, product, place, app, food, service, or object to show
  • Style: realistic, cinematic, clean, playful, premium, minimal, cozy, energetic
  • Mood: calm, trustworthy, exciting, luxurious, friendly, fresh, professional
  • Colors: brand colors or color direction
  • Motion: slow push-in, camera slide, orbit, light sweep, product rotation, gentle background motion
  • Text rule: ask for no text if you plan to add text later in your website
  • Avoid list: anything you do not want, such as text, distorted hands, changing logos, or busy backgrounds
