Your First Prompt
Create Your First Prompt
You don't need to understand every parameter to create a great prompt. In fact, the best prompts often use just 3-4 carefully chosen settings. Let's build one together.
Start with a subject and 2-3 parameters. You can always add more later — but you can't undo visual chaos.
5 Steps to Your First Prompt
Type your subject in the text field at the top. Be specific: "a woman in a red coat standing in rain" beats "a person outside."
Choose a visual style. For your first prompt, try "Cinematic" — it gives you dramatic, movie-like results without extra complexity.
Pick a camera angle. "Eye-Level" is natural and versatile. "Low Angle" adds drama and power.
Review your prompt in the preview panel on the right. You should see a clean, focused prompt with your subject and 2-3 parameters.
Optional: Hit Enhance. The AI will expand your prompt with additional cinematic details. Compare the before and after — sometimes the original is better.
Empty vs. Focused: The Difference
A portrait photo of a woman
A cinematic film still of a woman in a red coat standing in rain, shot from eye-level perspective, composed using the rule of thirds
Prompt
A cinematic film still of a woman in a red coat standing in rain, shot from eye-level perspective, composed using the rule of thirds, lit with studio softbox, Rembrandt lighting style
The prompt you see above is a simplified summary. When you open the Builder, it automatically expands your selected parameters into a full, detailed prompt optimized for AI image generation — with technical phrases, lighting descriptions, and composition directives. You pick 3-4 settings, the Builder does the heavy lifting.
