Prompting Best Practices
Text-to-Video Prompt Structure
Effective Prompt Template :
[Subject/Scene] + [Action/Movement] + [Camera Work] + [Lighting/Atmosphere] + [Quality Tags]Example Prompts for 720p
"A majestic eagle soaring through mountain valleys at golden hour, slow motion flight, camera tracking from side, cinematic lighting, 720p HD quality, professional cinematography"
"City street time-lapse with traffic flowing, neon lights reflecting on wet pavement, camera slowly panning right, night scene, high detail, 720p resolution"
"Underwater coral reef with tropical fish swimming, gentle camera movement through scene, clear blue water, sunlight filtering from above, cinematic 720p quality"
"Drone shot rising above a misty forest at sunrise, rays of light breaking through trees, smooth camera ascent from ground level, atmospheric fog, HD quality"
"Close-up of coffee being poured into white cup, slow motion, steam rising, shallow depth of field, warm morning lighting, cinematic 720p"Prompt Enhancement Tips
Camera Movement : "dolly zoom", "pan left", "crane shot", "tracking shot", "aerial view"Temporal Dynamics : "slow motion", "time-lapse", "real-time", "smooth transition"Lighting : "golden hour", "blue hour", "volumetric lighting", "rim lighting"Quality Tags : "720p", "HD quality", "cinematic", "professional", "high detail"Atmosphere : "misty", "foggy", "atmospheric", "moody", "vibrant"
Prompt Tips for Best Results
Be Specific : Detailed scene descriptions produce better resultsInclude Motion : Describe movement and camera work explicitlyMention Resolution : Add "720p" or "HD quality" to promptsUse Cinematic Terms : "cinematic", "professional", "broadcast quality"Describe Lighting : Lighting dramatically affects video qualityKeep It Focused : Avoid overly complex multi-scene descriptions
Troubleshooting
Out of Memory (OOM) Errors
Solution 1: Use Lower Rank
1 # Switch from rank-64 to rank-32 or rank-16
2 pipe . load_lora_weights ( "...rank16-bf16.safetensors" )
Solution 2: Enable CPU Offloading
1 pipe . enable_model_cpu_offload ( )
2 pipe . enable_attention_slicing ( )
3 pipe . enable_vae_slicing ( )
Solution 3: Reduce Frames/Resolution
1 # Generate shorter clips
2 video = pipe ( prompt , num_frames = 16 ) # Instead of 24
3
4 # Temporarily test with 480p
5 video = pipe ( prompt , height = 480 , width = 854 )
Solution 4: Close Other Applications
Free up VRAM by closing browsers, IDEs, other GPU applications
Monitor GPU usage with nvidia-smi
Poor Quality Results
Issue: Blurry or Low-Detail Output
Increase LoRA rank to 64 or 128
Use 20-25 inference steps instead of 15
Add "high detail", "sharp focus", "720p quality" to prompts
Ensure resolution is set to 1280x720
Issue: Inconsistent Motion
Adjust CFG scale (try 6.5-8.0 range)
Use more descriptive motion keywords in prompts
Increase frame count to 24-32 for smoother motion
Issue: Poor Prompt Adherence
Increase CFG scale to 7.5-8.5
Make prompts more specific and detailed
Use rank-32 or higher for better prompt understanding
Slow Generation Speed
Optimization Steps :
Use rank-16 or rank-32 instead of rank-128
Reduce inference steps to 15-20
Enable PyTorch compilation: pipe.unet = torch.compile(pipe.unet)
Use xFormers for memory-efficient attention
Consider 480p for faster iteration, then upscale
