Canva: Refining AI video results with specific prompt engineering

Demo summary
The user demonstrates refining a Canva AI video by adding specific details like 'front view shot', 'blonde', and 'hyperrealistic' to the prompt to change the model's appearance and camera position.
Step-by-step
- Enter a detailed prompt specifying the subject, clothing material, and audience actions
- Define the camera angle by adding 'front view shot' and 'without any camera movement'
- Specify physical attributes like 'blonde' and 'wearing high heels'
- Add 'hyperrealistic' to the prompt to improve visual stability
- Remove background elements to focus on the model's generation first
Options
- Simplify the scene by removing background elements before adding them back later
Watch out for
- AI-generated videos may experience glitching at the start of the clip
Tips
- Define more specific details within the prompt to see a clear difference in the generated output
- Use 'hyperrealistic' as a keyword to help the prompt's quality
- Focus on getting the shot of the subject correct before moving forward with complex background elements
Highlights
“it is glitching at the start a bit, but I don't think that this is a very stable shot”
