Find the feeling first
Before writing a prompt, decide what the viewer should feel. A welcome, a quiet introduction, and a playful announcement call for different expressions and pacing. A specific feeling is often a better starting point than a long list of technical adjectives.
Keep the movement deliberate
For a portrait video, small movement can be enough: a gentle smile, a slow push-in, or a turn toward the camera. Use the photo-to-video workspace to describe the motion, then review the real output when the connected provider finishes.
Create with permission
Permission applies to the source image and to the intended use. A portrait licensed for one purpose may not be suitable for another. Keep a record of consent and avoid scripts that put unwanted words in another person's mouth.
Review before you publish
Watch your output from start to finish. Check for unexpected changes, unclear speech, and visual artifacts. Label synthetic media where appropriate, and choose a format suited to where your audience will see it.
