I Love the Smiths AI Prompt Ideas That Actually Change the Result
Most people don't need a prompt at all. The scene, the framing and the sound are already built in — your two photos do the work. The optional prompt is for the cases where you want something specific: a mood, a small prop, a caption-like expression. This page is a short list of prompt lines that do change the output, and an honest list of what they can't.
Where the prompt goes
- 01
Upload Photo 1 — the listener, wearing the headphones.
- 02
Upload Photo 2 — the person who says the line.
- 03
Optionally type a prompt. One short sentence is enough.
- 04
Check the still preview.
- 05
Pay 10 credits and generate. The video arrives in My videos and by email, usually in 5–8 minutes.
Prompt lines worth trying
Mood and expression
He looks caught off guard, then smiles.She keeps a straight face the whole time.Both of them look like they're trying not to laugh.
Small props and clothing
He's wearing a beanie and a grey jacket.She's holding a paper coffee cup.Both in winter coats, cold outside.

What the prompt can't do
- It can't change the scene. The elevator, the shots and the timing stay the same.
- It can't change the sound. The video comes with the scene's own audio; you can't swap in your own song.
- It can't guarantee a likeness or exact lip sync. AI output varies — that's true of every tool in this category, and our pricing page says so.
- It can't turn two photos of one person into two people. One person can play both roles, but the roles still come from Photo 1 and Photo 2.

One sentence. Long prompts tend to get partially ignored; specific and short works better.
Q3Can the prompt change the language or the line?+
No. The line and its delivery come with the scene.
