- 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. |
| subject | Who or what the shot is about. Keep it to one clear subject — models blur focus when given several. |
| 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. |
