Use the defaults as a starting point, then choose the model and settings that fit the actual image task.
Describe the video topic, focal subject, emotional hook, subject placement, contrast, title area, and color direction.
Put requested headline text in quotation marks; the canvas stays fixed at 16:9 for this workflow.
Generate one concept, then proofread and replace final title text before publishing.
Task guidance
Keep the brief compact: define the topic, one focal subject, visual hook, composition, title area, and palette.
State what the video is about and the single visual hook viewers should understand at a glance.
Specify left or right subject placement, use strong contrast, and put requested title wording in quotation marks.
Generated text can be wrong even with text-capable models. Replace final lettering and check the crop, contrast, and focal point at small size.
