A practical H3 Max prompt guide

A useful video prompt reads like a compact shot direction. Start with the subject and action, then add one camera move, the environment, and the light. Remove anything the shot does not need.

Open the generator

Use a five-part shot structure

The order keeps the instruction legible and makes it easy to change one variable at a time when you Remix.

Step 3

Add environment and light

Finish with the physical context and a simple lighting cue. Example: in a sunlit workshop, fine dust in the air, soft window light and natural skin tones.

Specific

Describe visible physical details.

Sequential

Give actions in the order they should happen.

Restrained

Prefer one camera move and one main action.

Fix common prompt failures

If motion feels chaotic, reduce the number of subjects and actions. If the shot feels static, add a camera move or foreground element. If identity drifts in image-to-video, ask for smaller movement and a shorter duration.
