Prompt

Create a Runway-ready image-to-video prompt from the reference image. Subject anchor: a bottle of citrus sparkling water on crushed ice with fruit slices around it. Motion: condensation rolls down the bottle while fruit slices shift slightly in the ice. Camera: macro movement with a clear beginning, middle, and ending. Visual style: premium studio lighting, crisp detail, clean background. Constraints: use the provided image as the first frame; preserve package shape, label placement, color, and material finish; do not invent new major objects; keep the background layout consistent unless motion is requested; compose for 9:16 and 5s. Model rewrite: Use concise visual direction, stable framing, and a practical negative prompt.

Runway playbook

What makes this page different

Use Runway-style prompts when the best result is a compact commercial instruction with clear framing and artifact control.

Best for

Product ads, ecommerce clips, drink shots, beauty products, and clean social assets.
Prompts where label placement, logo shape, surface texture, and framing matter.
Short outputs that need a direct, copy-ready instruction rather than a long brief.

Not ideal for

Long cinematic narratives with multiple atmosphere beats.
Complex character motion where limb geometry is the main risk.

Prompt formula

Runway-specific structure

Product lock Preserve silhouette, label placement, cap, material, props, and background setup.
Short motion Use one compact motion such as condensation rolling, a slow push-in, a light sweep, or slight rotation.
Framing State stable framing, macro/product shot, and final clean frame.
Commercial style Name the lighting and texture without adding too many mood adjectives.
Artifact control End with warped label, fake text, logo distortion, melted product, jitter, and smeared texture negatives.

Failure modes to block

Brand marks or labels become fake text.
Product silhouette melts during rotation or macro motion.
Texture becomes smeared when the camera pushes in.

Recommended settings

Use 5s or 8s for commercial product loops.
Use 9:16 for ads and 1:1 for ecommerce/social crops.
Use macro, static, or slow dolly camera moves when labels matter.

Compared with the other model pages

Runway pages should be concise and commercial. Veo pages should spend more words on continuity, atmosphere, and cinematic shot arc.

How to tune this model

Runway prompts often benefit from concise visual direction rather than long abstract mood boards.
Put the subject lock, motion, and camera direction close together.
Use negative terms for labels, logos, and product geometry.

Sparkling water bottle

Before and after prompt

Before

Runway prompt for a drink ad.

After

Use the bottle image as the first frame. Preserve bottle shape, label placement, ice, citrus slices, and cold texture. 5s 9:16 macro product shot: condensation rolls down the bottle while fruit shifts slightly in the ice. Stable framing, crisp label, bright commercial light. Negative prompt: warped label, fake text, melting bottle, jitter, smeared ice.

Why it works

The prompt is compact.
The product details stay near the motion.
The negative prompt protects label readability.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I use the prompt in Seedance, Veo, Kling, or Runway?

Yes. Pick the target model in the generator and it rewrites the same image idea with model-specific emphasis.

Does the tool analyze uploaded images?

The first version works from your written image description, image URL, and motion notes. The upload is for preview while you write.

Why include a negative prompt?

Image-to-video outputs often fail through identity drift, warped text, unstable backgrounds, or jitter. The negative prompt names those failure modes directly.
