Write prompts that are easy to understand
Start with a subject, action, place, and one clear visual direction.
AFTER THIS GUIDE, YOU CAN
One short prompt that can be tested, evaluated, and refined without guesswork.
Before you start
- Product name or description.
- One benefit that can really be proven.
- Outcome destination: product image or short video.
Shape, resolution, duration: what is the difference?
Shape (ratio) is the ratio of the width and height of the frame. 9:16 looks tall, while 16:9 looks wide.
- Resolution = number of pixels
- Pixels are small dots that make up an image. Example of horizontal video: 1280 × 720 pixels (720p) and 1920 × 1080 pixels (1080p) are both 16:9. The second one has more pixels, not a longer duration.
- Duration = length of video or sound
- Example: a 5 second video finishes faster than a 10 second video. Still images do not have a playback duration. Duration options follow the available models.
- AI model = the engine that creates your result
- Each model can have different shape, resolution, duration, sound and cost options. Start from the options available on the tool, then read the cost calculations.
- Quote = the price shown before generation
- Check the SC (SCENRA Credits) amount before pressing Generate. Changing the model or settings may change the price. Academy exercises do not use credits.
These examples explain the terms. The available settings and actual prices depend on the SCENRA tool when you open it.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Follow one by one.
STEP 01
Decide on a subject
Name the product or person at the center of the image. If there is a reference photo, explain the elements that must be retained: packaging shape, color and label.
Combine subject, action, setting, light, and camera into clear instructions.
Visuals of learning concepts, not screenshots of tools or guaranteed results.View all steps at once
- Decide on a subject
Name the product or person at the center of the image. If there is a reference photo, explain the elements that must be retained: packaging shape, color and label.
- Select one incident
Examples: product standing on a table, hand lifting packaging, or camera approaching. Avoid five different stunts in a short clip.
- Add visual context
Write down the setting, lighting, and composition needed. Use simple terms like soft window light or a clean backdrop.
- Write down important boundaries
For example, don't add writing, don't change the packaging, and don't add other products. Boundaries help guide results, but do not guarantee the model will always comply.
- Change one thing the next time you try
Compare changes in lighting or movement only. If everything is replaced at once, it is difficult to understand what makes the results improve.
EXAMPLES TO TRY
Product image prompt
Change the product, name and details to suit your own. This example is not an automated command and does not guarantee the same results.
Create a clean commercial photograph of the product in the reference image. Keep the packaging shape, color, and label consistent. Place it on a natural stone surface beside a softly lit window. Eye-level composition, realistic materials, gentle shadows. No additional text, no extra logos, no duplicate products.
TRY IT, THEN CHECK IT
Are you ready to move?
Perform or understand the following checks. Check honestly; This progress is to help you learn.
ONE SHORT QUESTION
The first try was too dark. The easiest improvement to evaluate?
Avoid common mistakes
Long prompt but conflicting
Choose a mood and light direction. 'Bright day' and 'dark night' in the same scene can be confusing.
Writing unproven product claims
Use visual descriptions. Don't ask models to fabricate certifications, testimonials, or health results.
