Veo 3.1 follows structured prompts unusually well — lock camera, lighting and audio as separate JSON fields and it respects each one.
Native audio: describe dialogue, ambient sound and music directly in the audio field.

Kling 3.0 reasons about the scene like a director — write the action field as a shot note, not a keyword list.
Multi-shot is the signature feature: split the action into "Shot 1: … Shot 2: …" inside the action field for cuts within one generation.

Seedance responds best to a strict block order: CAMERA → SUBJECT → ACTION → ENVIRONMENT → LIGHTING → STYLE. The JSON below is ordered to match.
Keep the camera block to a shot type plus one movement — stacking movements degrades output.

Wan 2.2 is the latest version with genuinely open, downloadable weights. "Wan 2.5/2.6/2.7" are hosted API-only versions on commercial platforms.
Open-weights Wan 2.2 has no audio track — drop the audio field or move sound design to post.

Runway exposes camera controls in the UI — use the camera block here as your settings checklist rather than prompt text.
Gen-4.5 excels with reference images: the subject field doubles as your reference-tagging description.

What each block does

Block	Purpose
scene	Where it happens: location, time of day, weather, mood of the space.
action	What visibly happens during the clip. Describe motion the camera can see, not internal states.
camera	Shot framing and movement. One movement per clip reads best on every current model.
lighting	Light source, quality and shadow behavior. The single highest-leverage block for realism.
style	Aesthetic direction: film stock, color palette, references, tone.
audio	Dialogue, ambient sound and music. Only Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 render audio natively.
