AI Video Lighting Prompts
Lighting prompts work best when they describe source direction and behavior rather than only mood adjectives.
Golden hour
Warm directional light with long soft shadows.
Soft daylight
Low contrast, broad source and stable skin tones.
Neon night
Colored practical sources and reflections with controlled exposure.
Studio rim light
Defined edge highlights while product geometry stays readable.
Window light
Clear direction and believable falloff across the room.
Low-key interior
Controlled shadows without crushing important subject detail.
Prompt structure
