H3 Prompt Writing
Workflow
- Identify the input mode: T2VA, I2VA, FL2VA, L2VA, or full-reference Ref2VA.
- For base text/keyframe modes, read
references/base-en.txtand follow its final prompt structure. - For full-reference mode, read
references/ref-en.txtand follow its six-section rewrite format. - Preserve the exact field names, section order, labels, and timing notation from the selected guide.
Base Modes
- T2VA: build the full audiovisual timeline from text.
- I2VA: start from the first frame and develop forward from it.
- FL2VA: describe the continuous path between the first and last frames.
- L2VA: infer a plausible opening and converge to the supplied last frame.
Use integrated_multimodal_description, overall_soundscape, and non_diegetic_music in the order shown in references/base-en.txt.
Full-Reference Mode
Ref2VA rewrites use subject_definitions, summary, retention_analysis, detailed_description, overall_soundscape, and non_diegetic_music in that order. Reference labels stay consistent across all sections.
Read references/ref-en.txt for label rules, retention analysis, and complete examples.
Output Rules
- Write rewrite sections in English; preserve dialogue, lyrics, and visible scene text in their original language.
- Describe each shot by composition, subjects, environment, actions, camera, sound, and the exact point where referenced content appears.
- Avoid plot summaries, unresolved reference labels, and timing that does not match the requested duration.
Tips for Better Results
- Always match the total duration of the description to the requested video length (4–15 seconds).
- Keep reference labels consistent (e.g.
<Picture 1>,<Video 1>,<Audio 1>) across every section. - Prefer concrete visual and audio details over abstract words like "cinematic" or "beautiful".
- When using keyframes (I2VA / FL2VA / L2VA), clearly state how the first and/or last frame connects to the timeline.
