# Vibe Video Prompt Engineering > Skill for Gemini Omni Flash (gemini-omni-flash-preview) video prompt engineering best practices. Use when the prompt_architect agent needs to structure or refine a video generation prompt, apply the 6-dimension framework, or enforce preservation guardrails on edit turns. Activates when user requests involve video generation, editing, style changes, or camera adjustments. - Skill: `jggomez/vibe-video-prompt-engineering` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add jggomez/vibe-video-prompt-engineering` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/jggomez/vibe-video-prompt-engineering/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: AI & ML - Author: jggomez (https://skillmd.com/u/jggomez) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/jggomez/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:** - ``: Starting frame anchor. (e.g. ` a woman is walking`) - ``: Reference style/character starting from 0. (e.g. `in the style of a woman is walking`) - **Explicit Declarations:** - `[# Sources @Image1] [# References @Image2] a woman 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) | Anti-pattern / Limitation | Why | Alternative / Mitigation | |---|---|---| | "make it cool" | Abstract, unstructured | Define exact style + lighting | | "animate it" | No kinetic spec | Describe exact motion vector | | "better quality" | Subjective | Define rendering style explicitly | | Long adjective stacks | Over-specifies what model handles | Trust model's world knowledge | | Describing physics | Model handles naturally | Focus on macro intent | | Uploading audio references | Unsupported by API | Describe audio/music in text prompt | | Multiple video references | Unsupported by API | Prompt using only one video reference | | Video extension / interpolation | Unsupported by API | Render a complete new generation | | YouTube URL inputs | Unsupported by API | Download and upload file via Files API (if allowed) | | Minors/recognizable people in inputs | Blocked by safety filter | Use generic representations | | Uploading custom videos (EEA/UK/CH) | Editing uploaded files blocked | Only use on generated videos (supported) | --- ## 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+.
