Claude: Timeline prompting for video generation

Claude Try it →Watch full video →DDan Kieft

Demo summary

The creator demonstrates taking a screenshot of image references, uploading them to Claude, and generating a 'timeline prompt' that describes specific actions across different timestamps for the AI video model.

Step-by-step

Upload the provided MD file to the Claude chat
Take a screenshot of your image references
Upload the screenshot to the same Claude chat
Prompt Claude to create a timeline prompt for the action using the MD file as a guide
Review the generated timeline shot which describes actions for specific sections
Copy the generated prompt into the video generation tool and hit send

Options

Use 'shot 1, shot 2, shot 3' instead of specific timestamps
Let the AI decide the duration for each shot

Watch out for

The AI video model is not strictly required to follow the specific timestamps provided in the prompt

Tips

Screenshot the prompt box/references so the AI understands exactly what you are adding
Include '24 fps' in the prompt settings to reduce lag and improve video smoothness
Define the mood, lighting, and camera energy (e.g., handheld) at the start of the prompt

Highlights

“I just literally screenshotted this prompt box like right here and then I just drop that into cloth.”
