Prompt tips that help on LTX-2 Distilled
- Call the camera move in the first sentence. Orbit, push in, slider, drone rise, locked off.
- Keep one main subject. Add one background action at most.
- Ask for stable geometry. Say stable lines, no warping, clean edges.
- Use one realism detail. Reflections, dust, rain ripples, lens flare.
- When changing style, keep the composition constant. Say keep the same car and angle.
8 prompts (with real outputs)
Prompt 1: smooth orbit
Prompt: Cinematic 16:9 orbit shot around a vintage red car parked on a quiet countryside road. The camera makes a smooth 180 degree arc from front left to rear right. Gentle wind moves nearby grass. Natural daylight, realistic reflections on paint and chrome, stable geometry.
This checks camera path and shape stability on chrome and body lines.
Prompt 2: commercial push in
Prompt: Cinematic commercial shot, 16:9. Slow dolly push-in toward the hood and headlights of the vintage red car. Shallow depth of field. Sun glints on chrome. Small dust particles float in the air. Smooth camera motion, realistic reflections, stable lines.
Push-ins often break reflections. A good clip keeps highlights smooth.
Prompt 3: golden hour slider
Prompt: Golden hour upgrade, 16:9. The scene shifts to warm sunset light. Long shadows move slightly. A soft lens flare passes as the camera makes a slow left to right slider move. Keep the same car and composition. Photorealistic color, smooth motion, no warping.
Lighting shifts look best when the car paint stays consistent frame to frame.
Prompt 4: light rain with reflections
Prompt: Rainy cinematic look, 16:9. Light rain begins. Tiny droplets hit the ground and create small ripples. The paint becomes slightly wet and reflective. The camera stays mostly locked with a subtle handheld drift. Realistic rain, stable car shape, clean reflections.
Rain works as a realism mask. It can also turn into jitter. Watch the edges.
Prompt 5: drone rise reveal
Prompt: Drone rise reveal, 16:9. The camera starts near the front bumper then slowly rises up and back, revealing more of the road and landscape behind the car. Keep the car centered and stable. Smooth gimbal motion, natural daylight, realistic depth.
This tests depth and parallax. Look for a clean horizon and straight road lines.
Prompt 6: subtle action + pan
Prompt: Subtle action, 16:9. The car stays parked but one front wheel turns a few degrees and returns. A soft shadow from passing clouds moves across the scene. The camera does a slow right to left pan. Keep edges sharp, stable body lines, realistic motion.
Small object motion reveals drift fast. A clean output keeps the wheel shape intact.
Prompt 7: night makeover
Prompt: Night makeover, 16:9. Convert the scene to a moody rainy night with soft neon light sources off camera. Wet asphalt reflects colored lights. The camera does a slow push in. Keep the same car shape and angle. Realistic raindrops, cinematic bokeh, stable geometry.
Style changes can melt details. The prompt repeats stable geometry to fight that.
Prompt 8: pullback and tilt up
Prompt: Trailer style pullback, 16:9. The camera slowly pulls back and tilts up, showing a wide sky above the car. A few birds cross the frame in the distance. Light wind moves grass. Clean cinematic look, stable car, smooth motion.
Tilt moves expose sky artifacts. Birds also test small moving shapes.
