Prompt instructions
Give me an edit brief: where it goes on the timeline, the exact settings, and what to check before export, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is halation, vignette and grain: rendered or generated footage looks photographed. How it works: warm halation around the bright areas, a soft vignette, fine grain over everything. It is right for: the last pass on code-rendered and 3D video. Grain at 2 to 5 percent, and never two grain layers on top of each other. Effects are the finish on a scene, never the idea. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
The same prompt works in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
