AI video generation

AI video generation is the process of creating video with a generative model using prompts, references, workflow settings, and iteration.

Text-to-video

Text-to-video is an AI video workflow where a written prompt describes the subject, action, scene, camera, lighting, style, duration, and ending.

Image-to-video

Image-to-video starts from a still reference image and uses motion instructions to animate the subject while preserving visual continuity.

Video-to-prompt

Video-to-prompt means reverse-engineering a video into reusable prompt parts such as subject, action, scene, camera, lighting, style, and payoff.

AI video prompt

An AI video prompt is a set of generation instructions that tells the model what should appear, how it should move, how it should be filmed, and where the clip should end.

Prompt anatomy

Prompt anatomy is the breakdown of a video idea into subject, motion, scene, camera, lighting, style, audio, duration, constraints, and final payoff.

Motion prompt

A motion prompt describes the action, timing, transformation, or interaction that should happen in the generated video.

Camera prompt

A camera prompt specifies shot scale, angle, movement, lens feel, framing, and whether the clip should feel handheld, locked-off, macro, aerial, or cinematic.

Model signal

A model signal is a clue that an AI video example may have been created with a specific model or workflow such as Sora, Kling, Veo, Runway, Seedance, or a mixed pipeline.

Source signal

A source signal is evidence from the original post or creator context, such as prompt notes, model clues, workflow hints, timestamps, or engagement signals.

Prompt readiness

Prompt readiness measures whether an example has enough visible structure or source detail to be rewritten into a clean, testable AI video prompt.

Remix playbook
