Prompt instructions
Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is product walkthrough: the viewer watches one task done from start to finish and could repeat it. How it works: a cursor travels a path through one task; the camera zooms onto each control, a spotlight dims the rest, a numbered tooltip names the step and the state changes on screen. It is right for: feature education, onboarding, help content, 20 to 45 seconds. Three to five steps per 10 seconds, a confirmation at the end, then zoom out and reset so the loop closes. Use the product's real screens or a recording; with a recording, the cursor and the click sound land on the recording's own click. 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.
