Prompting glossary
Video prompt
A shot description for AI video tools.
What it means
A video prompt describes one shot at a time: what is in frame, how the camera moves, how long it lasts and what the mood is. Trying to describe a whole edited sequence in one prompt is what produces incoherent clips.
How to use this in practice
Knowing the word is the easy half. The useful half is writing the instruction so the AI does not have to guess: say who it should act as, give it the background it cannot know, state the outcome you want, set the limits, and name the format the answer should come back in. That is the same structure behind every template in the free prompt library.
