Prompting Basics
All GENERATE work starts in the Creation Engine direction field (prompt bar). The same ideas apply when Snap fills the bar for you.
Strong direction checklist
- Subject — Who or what is on screen
- Action — What happens in the clip or frame
- Setting — Where (or use a set name from Elements)
- Lighting & mood — Time of day, contrast, emotion
- Camera — Framing and motion (or use Cinematic Language chips)
- Style — Realistic, anime, commercial, documentary, etc.
Use project names
- Type cast/set names or use
[character]/[environment]chips - References attach when the model supports them — Reference Auto-Detection
