* **Secondary Elements:** Incorporate subtle supporting elements such as `[Choose or add elements, e.g., “glowing motes of light,” “soft anamorphic lens flares,” “digital scan lines,” “filmic grain,” “wisps of ethereal smoke,” “data-moshing artifacts”]`.
* **Geometric Structure:** The warp should propagate across the screen with a `[Describe the pattern, e.g., “radial burst from the center,” “a horizontal wipe from left to right,” “an organic, ink-bleed pattern that grows unpredictably,” “a vortex that pulls the viewer in”]`.
* **Edge Quality:** The edges of the warped color forms should be `[Describe the edge characteristics, e.g., “soft and feathery,” “sharp and crystalline with iridescent fringing,” “glitchy and pixelated,” “blended with a motion blur effect”]`.
* **Level of Abstraction:** At its peak, the transition should be `[e.g., “partially abstract, where shapes from both clips are still vaguely recognizable,” “fully abstract, a pure explosion of color and texture,” “subtle, with only minor warping around the edges of the frame”]`.

#### **Part 3: Color Palette & Lighting**

* **Transition-Specific Palette:** During the warp, introduce a dominant color palette of `[List 3-5 key colors that are not necessarily in Clip A or B, e.g., “electric magenta, cyan, and gold,” “deep violets, greens, and a touch of orange,” “pastel rainbow hues”]`.
* **Color Interaction:** The colors from Clip A should `[Describe the interaction, e.g., “bleed and mix smoothly into the colors of Clip B,” “shatter into a spectrum of new colors before resolving,” “stretch and smear across the frame,” “invert into their complementary colors during the peak of the transition”]`.
* **Lighting & Luminosity:** The effect should be `[Describe the lighting, e.g., “self-illuminated and glowing, casting its own light,” “lit as if by an external, off-screen light source,” “dark and moody with high-contrast points of light,” “bright and overexposed with significant lens bloom”]`.

#### **Part 4: Animation, Timing, & Dynamics**

* **Pacing:** The transition should have a `[Describe the speed and feel, e.g., “fast, aggressive, and impactful, lasting less than a second,” “slow, graceful, and dreamlike, lasting 2-3 seconds,” “stuttering and unpredictable, with moments of speed and pause”]`.
* **Motion Characteristics:** The movement should feel `[Describe the quality of motion, e.g., “fluid and liquid,” “erratic and digital,” “smooth and orchestral,” “explosive and energetic”]`.
* **Apex of the Effect:** The peak of the transition—the moment of maximum warp and color intensity—should occur at `[e.g., “exactly the 50% midpoint,” “the first third of the transition, creating a fast build-up and slow release,” “the end, resolving abruptly”]`. This moment should be characterized by `[Describe the peak visual, e.g., “a bright flash of white light,” “a moment of total color saturation,” “a complex fractal pattern filling the screen”]`.

#### **Part 5: Technical & Stylistic Parameters**

* **Artistic Influence:** Draw inspiration from the aesthetic of `[Mention artists, styles, or media, e.g., “the psychedelic liquid light shows of the 1960s,” “the glitch art movement,” “the visual style of the film ‘Enter the Void’,” “vaporwave aesthetics,” “the light installations of James Turrell”]`.
* **Render Quality:** The final output should be `[Describe desired quality, e.g., “hyper-realistic and cinematic,” “stylized and non-photorealistic,” “clean and graphic,” “gritty and analogue”]` with `[e.g., “no visible pixelation,” “intentional, stylized artifacts,” “a soft, diffused glow”]`.
* **Frame & Composition:** This is a full-screen effect that should `[Describe its interaction with the frame, e.g., “completely obscure the underlying clips at its peak,” “interact with the subject of the shot, wrapping around them,” “be constrained to a specific area of the screen before expanding”]`.

#### **Part 6: Negative Prompts (What to Avoid)**

* **Avoid:** `[List specific unwanted elements, e.g., “harsh, jagged lines,” “muddy or desaturated colors,” “cliche star-wipe patterns,” “shaky camera motion,” “fire or smoke effects,” “pixelation unless specifically requested”]`.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is the above template filled out for a specific, high-concept motion graphics transition.

#### **Part 1: Core Concept & Scene Context**

* **Project Title:** Motion Graphics Transition for “Quantum Leap” Tech Commercial.
* **Core Request:** Generate a high-fidelity, cinematic Color Warp visual effect to serve as a seamless transition between two distinct video clips.
* **Transition Style:** A digital, fluid color warp.
* **Overall Mood & Tone:** The transition should evoke a feeling of rapid, beautiful, and futuristic transformation.
* **Clip A Description (Source):** The transition begins from a macro shot of a human eye, reflecting data streams. Colors are cool blues, greens, and whites.
* **Clip B Description (Destination):** The transition resolves into an expansive aerial shot of a futuristic, clean-energy city at dusk. Colors are warm oranges, deep purples, and glowing gold.

#### **Part 2: Visual Elements & Aesthetics**

* **Primary Warp Effect:** The dominant visual distortion should be liquid chromatic aberration, as if data is melting and reforming into a new reality.
* **Secondary Elements:** Incorporate subtle supporting elements such as glowing motes of light resembling digital embers, soft anamorphic lens flares, and faint, thread-like data tendrils.
* **Geometric Structure:** The warp should propagate across the screen with a vortex that pulls the viewer through the center of the pupil from Clip A.
* **Edge Quality:** The edges of the warped color forms should be soft and feathery, but with high-contrast, sharp iridescent fringing, similar to oil on water.
* **Level of Abstraction:** At its peak, the transition should be fully abstract, a pure explosion of color and light, completely obscuring both clips.

#### **Part 3: Color Palette & Lighting**

* **Transition-Specific Palette:** During the warp, introduce a dominant color palette of electric magenta, deep cyan, and a brilliant, pure gold.
* **Color Interaction:** The cool blues from Clip A should shatter into a spectrum of new colors before gracefully blending and resolving into the warm dusk tones of Clip B.
* **Lighting & Luminosity:** The effect should be self-illuminated and glowing, casting its own light and creating a bright, optimistic feel.

#### **Part 4: Animation, Timing, & Dynamics**

* **Pacing:** The transition should be fast, elegant, and impactful, lasting approximately 1.5 seconds. It should feel like a powerful surge of energy.
* **Motion Characteristics:** The movement should feel fluid and liquid, yet controlled and precise, like a perfect digital simulation.
* **Apex of the Effect:** The peak of the transition should occur at exactly the 50% midpoint. This moment should be characterized by a blindingly bright, soft flash of gold and magenta light, where the vortex effect is at its tightest.

#### **Part 5: Technical & Stylistic Parameters**

* **Artistic Influence:** Draw inspiration from the visual style of the film “Blade Runner 2049” (for its color and atmosphere) and the user interface designs from the film “Minority Report” (for the data elements).
* **Render Quality:** The final output should be hyper-realistic and cinematic, with a soft, diffused glow and no visible pixelation or harsh digital artifacts.
* **Frame & Composition:** This is a full-screen effect that completely obscures the underlying clips at its peak, creating a total “visual reset” for the viewer.

#### **Part 6: Negative Prompts (What to Avoid)**

* **Avoid:** Hard-edged digital blocks, glitchy data-moshing, desaturated or muddy colors, shaky camera motion, and any recognizable geometric shapes like squares or triangles. The effect must feel entirely organic and fluid.
