Macro prompts should follow a structured format: shot type, character/object, action, and detailed descriptive modifiers.
- 3:13 ↗
Initial images can be used as subject references to generate extreme close-ups of specific details without losing output quality.

Combining start frames and end frames in video models allows filmmakers to dictate the exact visual transition, such as an insect decaying.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Define your macro shot by specifying the exact framing type, subject, and micro-details in your prompt.
- Generate a series of base images using an image generator, then select the highest quality output as a reference.
- Create an end-frame image that visually represents the final state of your desired video transformation.
- Import your start and end frames into an image-to-video tool like Google Veo 3.1 to generate the transition sequence.
