❌ FAILS - Quote Format (Causes Subtitles):

The detective says: "Something's not right here." (Avoid this format)

Phonetic Pronunciation Fixes

Problem: AI mispronounces names or complex words
Solution: Use phonetic spelling

Original: "Read on to get Fofur and Shridar's guidance"
Fixed: "Read on to get foh-fur's and Shreedar's guidance"

Dialogue Length Optimization

Perfect Length (8-second rule):

Sarah, a confident CEO, looks at camera and says: "Our Q3 results exceeded all expectations, positioning us for unprecedented growth."

Too Long (Causes rushed speech):

Avoid: Long paragraphs that require 15+ seconds to speak naturally

Too Short (Causes silence/gibberish):

Avoid: Single words like "Hello" or "Yes"

Multi-Character Dialogue Control

Specify Who Speaks When:

The woman in the red dress asks: "Where should we meet for lunch?" The man in the blue shirt replies: "How about that new Italian place downtown?"

Example: POV vlog-style footage in 4K, realistic cinematic look. A large, furry Yeti holds a camera at arm's length, walking slowly through a snowy forest near a recently abandoned human campground. He speaks in a sincere, emotional tone while recording himself — breath visible in the cold air. Scattered signs of human activity are around him: boot prints, a smoldering campfire, a half-zipped tent flapping in the wind. The Yeti pans the camera to show clues, then back to his face, reflecting hope, curiosity, and quiet loneliness. Subtle camera shake, natural ambient audio (wind, crunching snow), and soft golden hour lighting filtering through the trees complete the scene.

ASMR Video Template (Macro Focus):

Shot in extreme macro perspective, [CUTTING_TOOL] cutting a [DETAILED_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION]. The [OBJECT] has [TEXTURE_DETAILS] with [VISUAL_PROPERTIES]. [OBJECT] rests on [SURFACE] bathed in [LIGHTING]. Each [ACTION] produces [AUDIO_FOCUS] in an otherwise silent room.

Example: Shot in extreme macro perspective, a knife cutting a flawless, detail-rich soft glass lychee, jelly-like glass, with a textured bumpy outer surface resembling lychee skin. The surface reflects light subtly, appearing frosted and semi-translucent with pale pink-white hues. Inside, the glass is smooth and glossy, revealing a glistening core with subtle milky gradients and suspended micro-bubbles that add depth and delicacy. Rests on a wooden cutting board bathed in warm lighting. Each deliberate cut produces a rich ASMR soundscape in an otherwise silent room.

Street Interview Template (Viral Optimized):

Create a [PLATFORM]-style street interview video set [TIME] in [LOCATION]. The environment includes [ENVIRONMENTAL_DETAILS]. Use [CAMERA_STYLE] filmed [ANGLE] in [COMPOSITION], with [LENS_TYPE] for [VISUAL_EFFECT]. [INTERVIEWER_DESCRIPTION] holds a mic. They stop [INTERVIEWEE_DESCRIPTION]. [POSITIONING] under [LIGHTING]. [INTERVIEWER] speaks [TONE]: "[QUESTION]" [INTERVIEWEE] [REACTION], then replies [RESPONSE_TONE]: "[ANSWER]" [POST_DIALOGUE_EFFECTS]. [SUBTITLE_INSTRUCTION]. [BRANDING_INSTRUCTION]. Dialogue must be [SYNC_REQUIREMENT]. Keep the energy [ENERGY_STYLE].

Example: Create a TikTok-style street interview video set at night in Times Square, New York City. The environment includes bright flashing billboards, reflective pavement, distant horns, footsteps, light city buzz, and crowd chatter. Use a handheld camera with slight motion shake, filmed at eye level in a two-shot composition, with a wide-angle lens and deep focus for immersive realism. A confident blonde Portuguese woman in her late 20s, stylish and charismatic, wearing a sexy red dress and heels, holds a mic. She stops a slightly eccentric scruffy-looking man in layered streetwear. The two stand close, framed naturally under the bright lights. She speaks playfully but assertively: "Would you rather build your house 30% cheaper and 40% faster… or move back in with your mom like a loser?" The man pauses briefly, then replies in a dry, straightforward tone: "Move back in with my mom? No chance. I'm building the house now." Immediately after his line, add fast-paced meme-style sound effects: a bass-boosted "YOO!", subtle crowd gasp or laugh, and a fast zoom-in on his face with slight glitch effect and natural ambient noise continuing underneath. No subtitles. No on-screen text. No branding. Dialogue must be lip-synced and emotionally accurate. Keep the energy modern, viral, and street-level real.

Corporate Presentation Template (Professional Authority):

Camera movement is [MOVEMENT_STYLE], ending on [FINAL_SHOT].

Example: Professional corporate boardroom setting with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a city skyline. A confident female executive in her 40s, wearing a sharp navy blazer and white blouse, stands beside a large wall-mounted display showing quarterly growth charts. She gestures naturally toward the data while speaking: "Our Q3 results show a 40% increase in market share, positioning us as the industry leader." Medium shot transitioning to a slow push-in for emphasis. Professional three-point lighting with warm key light, subtle fill, and rim lighting. Audio: Clear, authoritative voice with subtle room tone and distant city ambiance through windows. No background music. Camera movement is smooth and deliberate, ending on a medium close-up of her confident expression.

Educational Content Template (Engaging Learning):

[CLASSROOM_SETTING] with [LIGHTING_SOURCE]. An [INSTRUCTOR_DESCRIPTION] demonstrates [SUBJECT_MATTER] at [WORKSPACE]. [VISUAL_ELEMENTS] [ACTION_DESCRIPTION]. They explain with [GESTURE_STYLE]: "[EDUCATIONAL_DIALOGUE]" [STUDENT_REACTION] visible in background. [SHOT_TYPE] with [FOCUS_TECHNIQUE]. Audio: [VOICE_DESCRIPTION], [SUBJECT_SOUNDS], [STUDENT_REACTIONS]. [LIGHTING_ATMOSPHERE].

Example: Modern classroom with natural lighting from large windows. An enthusiastic science teacher in her 30s, wearing casual professional attire, demonstrates a chemistry experiment at a lab table. Colorful chemical reactions bubble and change colors in glass beakers. She explains with animated gestures: "Watch how the copper sulfate solution transforms from blue to green when we add the iron filings." Students visible in the background lean forward with interest. Medium wide shot with rack focus from the experiment to the teacher's excited expression.
