Stop over-prompting: AI video works better with visual building blocks than long prompts
TemperatureKnown8350 · reddit · 2026-09-22
After a full day of fighting AI video prompts, the author realized the problem wasn't prompt detail but missing visual references - long descriptions can't replace absent context. The fixed workflow: prepare scene images, character references, and consistency details upfront and feed them all into PixVerse; and stop chasing one perfect generation - break scripts into small shots, generate multiple 5-second clips, pick the good ones, and combine in editing. AI video is closer to building a film set than prompt writing.
