## Definition

Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting effective text instructions for AI models to generate desired outputs, whether images, videos, text, or other content.

## Extended Definition

In video creation, prompt engineering determines the quality and relevance of AI-generated scenes, images, and visual styles. Effective prompts are specific about subject, setting, lighting, camera angle, and mood. For example, 'a close-up shot of a coffee cup on a wooden table, morning sunlight streaming through a window, shallow depth of field, warm tones' produces better results than 'coffee cup on table.' Negative prompts tell the model what to avoid. Different AI models respond to prompts differently, so prompt engineering includes understanding model-specific behaviors. BlitzReels provides prompt templates and visual style presets that encode optimal prompt patterns for each supported AI model.
