How to write prompts for Grok

How prompt creation works

You write a simple description of your idea in everyday words,and then our AI automatically enhances it into a professionalprompt with the correct structure.

After enhancement the prompt gets a detailed structure: description of the scene, action, camera, lighting, style, and other technical parameters. You don't need to write this by hand —The AI will do it for you!

You have a choice:

• Standard prompt: AI creates a coherent description without timestamps

• Prompt with timings: AI adds timestamps [00:00–00:03], splitting a 6-second video into stages

💡 The "Prompt with timings" toggle is available in the generator form

"Text → Video" mode

What to put in the initial prompt

Describe your idea in plain language. Try to include:

Subject or scene (person, landscape, city)

Action or motion (walks, flies, approaches)

Where and how objects/camera move (up, forward, around, left)

Atmosphere or style (sunset, fog, neon lights)

Examples of simple prompts (BEFORE AI enhancement)

Example 1: Nature

"Ocean waves roll onto the beach at sunset, camera rises, golden light"

Example 2: City

"A Tokyo street at night with neon signs, the camera moves forward, rain, cyberpunk style"

Example 3: Space

"A spaceship flies past Saturn left to right, the camera follows, stars in the background"

Example 4: Fantasy

"A red dragon launches from behind a cliffside medieval castle up into the sky, epic atmosphere"

✅ After clicking "Enhance": AI automaticallywill add camera description, lighting details, audio atmosphere, and technical structure.If timings mode is on, it will split into time segments [00:00–00:03], [00:03–00:06].

"Image → Video" mode

What to put in the initial prompt

Describe what's in the picture and how you want it animated:

Briefly describe the content (characters, objects, background)

What should come alive (character, camera, objects)

Where and how it moves (turns head, looks left, camera rotates)

How it moves (smoothly, quickly, naturally)

💡 Mode advantage: A reference image significantly boosts generation quality and stability!

Examples of simple prompts (BEFORE AI enhancement)

Example 1: Portrait

"In the photo: a girl against a city backdrop. She slightly turns her head right, blinks and smiles, her hair flowing in the wind"

Example 2: Landscape

"In the photo: mountains and a lake. The camera slowly dollies forward, clouds drift left to right, ripples on the water"

Example 3: Object

"In the photo: a statue in a museum. The camera smoothly orbits the statue counter-clockwise, lighting shifts, dramatic shadows"

Example 4: Animals

"In the photo: a cat sits on a windowsill. He slowly turns his head left, gazes into the distance and blinks; outside it's raining"

✅ After clicking "Enhance": AI will turn your descriptioninto a detailed prompt with technical parameters for camera motion, lighting, and atmosphere.If timings mode is selected, the animation will be split into sequential stages.

Universal prompt-writing tips

Write clearly and simply — describe the idea in plain words

Mention motion — "walks", "flies", "approaches", "rotates"

Specify direction — "up", "forward", "left to right", "around"

Add atmosphere — time of day, weather, mood

Use "Enhance" — AI turns a simple description into a professional prompt

Experiment with timings — try both modes for different effects

Be specific — "a red sports car" is better than just "a car"

About timing modes

Standard mode: AI will create a single unified descriptionfor the entire 6-second video without splitting into time segments. Best for smooth, continuous scenes.

Timed mode: AI will split the prompt into time stageswith markers like [00:00–00:03], [00:03–00:06]. Useful for scenes with several sequential actions.

💡 Both modes work equally well — the choice depends on your task. Try both variants and pick the one that fits!

💡 Usage tips

1.
Be specific

Instead of "beautiful sunset" write "orange sunset over the ocean with flying gulls, beach view, golden hour"

2.
Specify motion

Add action description: "camera slowly dollies in", "character walks forward", "waves roll onto the shore"

3.
Experiment

Thanks to the low price, you can generate several variants and pick the best one

4.
Use styles

Add stylistics: "cyberpunk style", "Wes Anderson film look", "cinematic lighting"

5.
Use the prompt enhancement feature

AI optimizes your description, adding professional details about composition, lighting and camera motion
