AI Generation Prompts (for Sora/Cling/HigsField)

• Full prompt for AI video generation
• Style references
• Movement description

Step 4: Add Technical Notes

• Transitions between elements
• Music cues
• Sound effects
• Pacing notes

Step 5: Output Storyboard

AI Generation Tips (VISCAP)

For Stock Replacement:

• Use Sora 2 for simple UGC-style clips
• Text-to-video works for basic B-roll
• Include "shot on iPhone" in prompts for native feel

For Impossible Shots:

• Image-to-video with reference image
• JSON prompting for complex scenes
• Cling O1 Edit for product placement

For Scientific/Product Animations:

• AI excels at 3D scientific animations
• Product beauty shots work well
• Stylized/non-realistic clips for hooks

Platform-Specific Notes

TikTok/Reels: Fast cuts (1.5-2s), vertical, native feel Facebook Feed: Can be slower, square or vertical YouTube: Can breathe more, horizontal OK Native Ads: Minimal cuts, straightforward
