PromptEN490 characters
Photorealistic live action, not animation. Lightning flashes and lights the whole forecourt white for an instant. She unfolds her arms, pushes off the truck door and steps out to the edge of the canopy, holding one open palm into the falling rain, then looks up into the storm and laughs. Her wet flannel shirt lifts in the gust; rain hammers the concrete and streams off the canopy edge in front of the lens. Slow dolly in past the fuel pump. No music, only rain, wind and rolling thunder.Written in English, exactly as we sent it.

Why this prompt works
Lightning is the hard part: a single frame that goes white and drops back, on top of rain sheeting off a canopy edge in front of the lens and a slow dolly past the pump. The prompt opens by insisting on photorealistic live action, which is worth doing whenever a scene is this stylised — otherwise it drifts toward illustration.
Settings used
| Setting | Value | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| resolution | 720p | Output resolution, 720p by default and reaching 4k; no upscaled tier is offered here. It sets a rate tier, and higher tiers mean bigger files and longer renders. It governs the delivered format only and adds no detail the source frame does not have. |
| aspect_ratio | adaptive | Output framing, `adaptive` by default: the clip follows the ratio of the image you supplied, which removes the pre-crop step and keeps the subject away from the edges. Choose a fixed ratio only when the placement format is already set; the still is then centre-cropped to it. No effect on billing. |
| generate_audio | true | Whether a native soundtrack is rendered in sync with the picture. On by default; switch it off for silent loops or when sound is added in post. |
| duration_seconds | 5 | Length in whole seconds, 4 to 15, defaulting to 5, and the billed quantity. Pass -1 and the model picks the length itself: the estimate assumes the 15-second maximum and the final charge follows the delivered length. A shot driven by one frame drifts further the longer it runs, so confirm the motion at 4 or 5 seconds, and build longer pieces from several takes cut together. |
