How to write a text-to-video prompt
- Start with the subject: "a red lighthouse on a cliff".
- Add one action: "waves crash below, gulls circle".
- Add light and time: "at sunset".
- Add a camera move: "slow drone push-in". Press Make my video.
Prompts that work
| Prompt | Why it works |
|---|---|
| A fox walking through fresh snow in a pine forest at dawn, tracking shot | One subject, one action, clear light and camera |
| Steam rising from a latte on a rainy café window sill, close-up | Small scene, gentle motion — very reliable |
| Neon city street at night in the rain, people with umbrellas, slow pan | Background crowd is fine as long as no one is named |
Avoid long stories with many cuts — a 5-second clip is one shot.

What MoveFrame will not make
Every photo is checked before anything is generated. If a check fails, nothing is charged.
- No nudity or sexual content, and no "uncensored" mode.
- No videos of children from uploaded photos. The baby template invents a fictional baby; it never animates a real child's photo.
- No celebrities, politicians or other public figures, and no face swap.
- Hug and baby templates ask you to confirm that both adults in the photos agree.
- Free videos carry a small watermark, and every video is labelled as AI-generated in its file data.
- See something wrong? Every video page has a Report link. We take reported videos down and answer within 48 hours.
