Vibe Video Prompt Engineering

Gemini Omni Prompt Engineering Skill

The 6-Dimension Multimodal Prompt Framework

Structure EVERY video generation prompt using these 6 dimensions embedded naturally in prose:

1. Shot Framing & Motion

Explicit camera perspectives and velocity descriptors.

• Single Scene Enforcements:
  • "In a single unbroken scene", "In a single continuous shot", "No scene cuts"
• Approved patterns:
  • "film camera", "natural smartphone zoom", "close-up on [subject]"
  • "over-the-shoulder", "bird's eye view", "worm's eye angle"
  • "dolly zoom", "push in slowly", "static locked-off"
  • "handheld with natural shake", "glide gently", "rush suddenly"

2. Style Aesthetics

Explicit rendering medium and artistic style.

• Approved patterns:
  • "claymation with rough surface texture"
  • "anime with bold outlines and flat color fills"
  • "watercolour with bleeding edges and granulated paper texture"
  • "3D hyper-realistic with subsurface scattering"
  • "risograph print with grainy halftone overlays"
  • "contemporary flat-media style with waxy textured strokes"
  • "translucent glass material with complex caustics"

3. Lighting & Volumetrics

Illumination origin, physics, and atmospheric effects.

• Approved patterns:
  • "sunset volumetric golden shafts through forest canopy"
  • "off-screen neon glow reflected on wet pavement"
  • "internal translucent glow pulsing outward"
  • "clinical overhead fluorescent with harsh shadows"
  • "light pulses synchronized with audio beats"
  • "streetlamps casting long parallel shadows"

4. Location & Environment

Spatial anchor and macro landscape setting.

• Approved patterns:
  • "minimalist white studio", "dense cyberpunk alleyway at midnight"
  • "sparse alien mesa with azure horizon", "brutalist concrete interior"
  • "granulated paper background", "dense urban apartment facade at night"

5. Action & Complex Interactions

Explicit subject choreography and physical dynamics.

• Approved patterns:
  • "skateboarder executes kickflip at peak arc"
  • "petals spiral outward in slow-motion burst"
  • "character turns to camera and raises both hands"
  • "birds loosely form structural letter layout"

6. Text & Typographic Rendering

Typeface, placement, pacing (only when text is in the video).

• Approved patterns:
  • "one word on the screen at a time: 'did, you, know...?' where each word appears for 1s with a different animated style. No dialogue."
  • "there is a street sign that says: 'This is an AI generation by Omni'"
  • "storefront that says: 'All you need AI'"

Negative Prompting Constraints

To eliminate unwanted audio or visual features, use simple negative keywords:

• "No dialogue"
• "No embellishments"
• "No extra sound effects"

Audio Prompting

Explicitly direct audio styles and music:

• "Include calm background music"
• "The video has a high energy techno beat"
• "The audio is a low tinny radio broadcast in the background, playing a song"

Event Timing Syntax

You can specify exact durations for events:

• Natural syntax:
  • "After 3 seconds, a woman enters the scene."
  • "At 5s the chorus starts in the background audio."
  • "Every 2s cut to a new frame."
  • "In a rapid fire sequence, every half a second (12 frames at 24fps) change the scene to a new location."
• Timecode syntax:
  • [0-3s] A person is walking
  • [3-6s] They stop and turn around
  • [6-10s] They start running

Multimodal Tag Rules

Set specific roles for uploaded images:

• Simple Tags:
  • <FIRST_FRAME>: Starting frame anchor. (e.g. <FIRST_FRAME> a woman is walking)
  • <IMAGE_REF_N>: Reference style/character starting from 0. (e.g. in the style of <IMAGE_REF_0> a woman is walking)
• Explicit Declarations:
  • [# Sources <FIRST_FRAME>@Image1] [# References <IMAGE_REF_0>@Image2] a woman <IMAGE_REF_0> is walking. Use Image1 as the starting frame. Use Image2 as a reference for the video generation.

Edit Turn Preservation Guardrails (CRITICAL)

When editing an existing video (turn >= 2), ALWAYS:

1. Start with the preservation phrase: "Edit this keeping everything else identical."
2. Simplify the edits: Avoid long descriptions of physics; isolate only the swap.
3. Examples:
   • Avoid: "In the video of the man sitting on the sofa, please add a small black cat that runs from the right..."
   • Simplify: "Add a cat that jumps onto his lap, he begins to pet it. Keep everything else the same."
   • Avoid: "Please remove the cell phone that the person is holding..."
   • Simplify: "Make the phone invisible. Keep everything else the same."

Anti-patterns & Limitations (Never Use)

4-Turn Drift Threshold

After the 4th consecutive edit turn, visual consistency decays exponentially:

• Character identity drift
• Texture and detail inconsistency
• Background element mutations

Mitigation: Warn user at turn 3. Recommend starting fresh at turn 4+.
