Prompt template

Create one [3-4 second] text-free vertical 9:16 motion insert for a bookstore new-arrivals reel. Editorial job [opening hook / category divider / end-card atmosphere]. Abstract subject [blank paper planes settling / neutral page-edge rhythm / warm light moving across unmarked shelves]. Motion [one], camera [one or locked], palette [specific], quiet caption zone, stable handles. No readable book cover, title, author, quote, review, bestseller badge, award, price, discount, stock count, signed copy, employee, customer, store interior, event date, logo, voice, or watermark.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Export a dated arrival list with ISBN, title, author, publisher, format, edition, cover rights, price, stock, preorder or pickup status, age guidance, event tie-ins, and destination links.
  2. Capture the actual books, approved covers, shelf display, staff hands or faces with releases, store access, and any event evidence required for the story.
  3. Storyboard a six-to-twelve-second reel with one generic hook, two or three real book beats, one verified staff note, and one clear next step.
  4. Generate only abstract paper, light, or shelf-rhythm inserts without books, people, claims, readable text, or synthetic store evidence.
  5. Assemble real footage with editable title, author, format, price, stock wording, staff credit, event details, captions, alt description, music rights, and link.
  6. Review ISBN and edition accuracy, cover permission, crop, legibility, availability, price, locale, age guidance, event status, accessibility, disclosure, analytics, expiry, and rollback.

Example prompt variants

  • Three-second opener: four blank cream paper planes fan gently then settle into a vertical stack, warm window light, empty upper caption zone, no book, cover, letter, number, or logo.
  • Four-second category transition: one soft cobalt line travels along unmarked page edges and stops, locked vertical camera, no title, genre label, bestseller badge, or sound.
  • Three-second end-card plate: warm light expands across a blank dark-green surface with a quiet central CTA area, no shelf, store, person, book, event, price, or text.

Quality checklist

  • ISBN, title, author, publisher, format, edition, cover, price, stock, preorder, pickup, event, age guidance, and links match current catalog and store data.
  • Real book covers, staff, customers, shelves, store footage, quotes, and event evidence are licensed, current, and correctly identified.
  • Generated inserts remain generic and contain no fake book, cover, author, store, staff, customer, award, review, price, stock, or event.
  • Captions, contrast, safe zones, audio treatment, music rights, disclosure, mobile legibility, locale, and link tracking are verified.
  • Arrival list, footage log, releases, prompts, edit versions, approvals, publication time, expiry, corrections, and rollback remain traceable.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Generating plausible book covers or shelf displays and presenting them as titles currently available in the store.
  • Calling a book new, signed, bestselling, award-winning, in stock, discounted, or staff-recommended without current evidence.
  • Using synthetic staff or customer reactions as proof of popularity, community, service, or endorsement.
  • Publishing after stock, price, edition, event status, preorder timing, or destination links have changed.
