1/30

Cinematic video: a lone figure in a translucent raincoat walks through a neon-soaked Tokyo alley at midnight, reflections shimmering in deep puddles, slow dolly-in tracking shot, anamorphic lens flare, teal and magenta color grade, volumetric fog, shallow depth of field, 24fps film grain, ultra-detailed, 4k

Produces a moody, film-grade urban night scene with smooth forward camera motion.

๐Ÿ’ก

Pro tip: Keep the camera verb (dolly-in) early in the prompt so Hunyuan locks the motion before the scene detail.

Desert Sunrise Sweep

2/30

Cinematic video: vast rolling sand dunes at first light, golden-hour sun cresting the horizon, a sweeping aerial drone shot gliding over the ridgelines, soft warm rim light, drifting sand particles catching the sun, wide-angle 24mm, epic landscape, cinematic color grade, smooth 30fps, ultra-detailed, 4k

Generates a sweeping aerial desert vista with warm directional sunrise light.

๐Ÿ’ก

Pro tip: Use "aerial drone shot gliding" for the most stable camera travel; add "slow" if motion feels too fast.

Campfire Close-Up

3/30

Cinematic video: extreme close-up of a crackling campfire at night, embers floating upward in slow motion, warm orange firelight flickering across out-of-focus pine trees, shallow depth of field, 85mm lens, soft bokeh, gentle handheld micro-movement, cozy atmosphere, 24fps, ultra-detailed, 4k

Frequently Asked Questions

Hunyuan is Tencent's open-source AI generation model known for high-quality, cinematic video and image output. It excels at realistic motion, film-grade lighting, and stylized animation, and it is widely run inside ComfyUI workflows where you have fine control over the pipeline. These prompts are tuned for that strength.
Structure the prompt as scene, then motion, then camera, then style. Name the camera move (dolly-in, orbit, aerial glide) early so the model locks it, describe lighting and mood concretely, and end with quality tags like 24fps and ultra-detailed. Keeping each clip to one or two motion elements produces the most stable results.
Yes. Hunyuan supports image-to-video, and the prompts in the Image-to-Video category are written for it. Upload your still where the prompt says [UPLOADED IMAGE], then describe the motion you want while telling the model to keep the original features, colors, and composition consistent so it animates rather than redraws the source.
Morphing usually comes from asking for too much motion or too many subjects at once. Reduce the number of moving elements, lock the camera or use a slow simple move, and explicitly state what should stay consistent. Shorter clips and lower motion speed almost always render cleaner than long, fast, busy ones.
Yes, every prompt on this page is free to copy, paste, and modify for your own projects. They are hand-written and tested to work well with Hunyuan in common ComfyUI setups. Swap in your own subjects via the bracketed placeholders and adjust the style tags to match your look.
