Prompt Details
**Prompt Type:** Dynamic
**Purpose:** Video Processing for Cinematic Drone Footage Creation
**Target AI Platforms:** All (Adaptable)
**Core Prompt Structure:**
“`
Transform the provided video input into cinematic drone-like footage, applying the specified parameters and stylistic elements detailed below. Consider the original video’s content and context to generate visually appealing and realistic simulated drone movements.
**Video Input:** [Provide a link to the video file or upload the file directly if the platform allows it. Specify the video format (e.g., MP4, MOV) and resolution.]
**Desired Output Format:** [Specify the desired video format (e.g., MP4, MOV) and resolution. If applicable, mention desired codec and bitrate.]
**Drone Flight Simulation Parameters:**
* **Camera Movement:** [Select one or more options and provide specific details where applicable]
* **Orbit:** Orbit the primary subject at a [specify radius] with a [specify speed] and a [specify vertical offset]. Maintain focus on the subject.
* **Flythrough:** Simulate a flythrough between [specify points of interest] in the video. The camera should move at a [specify speed] and maintain a [specify altitude/height] relative to the ground/objects.
* **Follow:** Follow the primary subject, maintaining a [specify distance] and a [specify angle/perspective] relative to the subject’s movement. Smoothly anticipate changes in subject direction.
* **Reveal:** Start with a close-up on a specific detail and gradually reveal the broader scene by simulating a drone ascending and pulling back.
* **Custom Path:** [Describe the desired custom camera path in detail, including waypoints, speeds, and altitudes/heights].
* **Camera Angle:** [Specify desired camera angle relative to the horizon (e.g., level, tilted down, tilted up). Provide a specific angle in degrees where applicable.]
* **Camera Speed:** [Specify the desired camera speed (e.g., slow, medium, fast) or provide a specific speed value in units relevant to the AI platform’s implementation (e.g., meters per second, percentage of original video speed).]
* **Smoothness:** [Emphasize the importance of smooth camera movements to avoid jarring transitions. Consider specifying a smoothing algorithm or parameter if available on the platform.]
**Stylistic Elements:**
* **Color Grading:** [Specify the desired color grading. Choose from presets (e.g., cinematic, natural, vibrant) or provide more detailed instructions regarding color temperature, saturation, contrast, etc.]
* **Stabilization:** Apply advanced stabilization to eliminate any jitter or unwanted camera shake, mimicking the stability of professional drone footage.
* **Lens Effects:** [Specify any desired lens effects such as subtle lens flares, shallow depth of field, or vignette.]
* **Motion Blur:** Apply a realistic amount of motion blur to enhance the sense of movement and speed.
**Advanced Options (If applicable):**
* **Object Avoidance:** If the input video contains obstacles, instruct the AI to simulate realistic drone object avoidance maneuvers while maintaining the desired camera path.
* **Terrain Following:** If the input video involves terrain, instruct the AI to simulate terrain following to maintain a consistent altitude above the ground.
* **Sound Design:** If desired, request the AI to add or enhance the audio with sounds typical of drone footage (e.g., wind noise, propeller hum). Specify the intensity and realism of these sounds.
**Output Example References (Optional):**
[Provide links to example videos or images illustrating the desired style and camera movements. This can significantly improve the AI’s understanding of the creative vision.]
**Note:** Adapt this prompt to the specific capabilities of the AI platform you are using. Some platforms may require adjustments in syntax or parameter naming. Experimentation and iterative refinement of the prompt may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

**Example Usage (Shortened):**
Transform this video [link to MP4 video] into cinematic drone footage. Simulate an orbit around the main subject (the building) at a radius of 50 meters, moving slowly. Apply a cinematic color grade and stabilize the footage. Output should be MP4, 1080p.
This dynamic prompt structure provides a solid foundation for generating drone-like footage from existing video content. By adjusting the parameters and providing clear instructions, users can achieve a variety of cinematic effects tailored to their specific needs. The flexibility of this prompt allows for adaptation across different AI platforms and empowers creative exploration within the video production domain.
