Drone and aerial shot video prompt

Generate smooth aerial footage: a slow cinematic flyover or a fast FPV dive, with the motion and altitude spelled out.

You'll need: Access to a text-to-video model

Fill in your details

Values are inserted into every prompt below. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

9 field(s) left — unfilled variables stay as {{placeholders}}.

  1. 1Choose cinematic or FPV

    Cinematic drone: high altitude, slow, gliding, wide lens. FPV: low, fast, banking turns, close to surfaces. Write one or the other in the flight style slot; mixing them produces jittery motion.

    Aerial drone shot, {{flight_style}}, flying {{flight_path}} over {{landscape}}.
    Altitude: {{altitude}}. The horizon stays level{{horizon_note}}.
    Lighting: {{lighting}}.
    Style: photoreal, crisp detail, natural colour, gentle motion blur on fast-moving foreground.
    Mood: {{mood}}.
    Duration {{duration}}, aspect ratio {{aspect_ratio}}.
    Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, drone or propellers visible in frame, horizon tilting unless asked, shaky footage.

Example input

Slow glide forward along a river through an autumn forest toward mountains at sunrise with mist; 8s; 16:9.

Example output

Aerial drone shot, slow cinematic glide, flying forward along a winding river toward a mountain range over an autumn forest of orange and red trees. Altitude: high, about treetop height plus 100 metres. The horizon stays level throughout the shot. Lighting: early morning sun low on the right, mist lifting from the valley. Style: photoreal, crisp detail, natural colour, gentle motion blur on fast-moving foreground. Mood: majestic and peaceful. Duration 8 seconds, aspect ratio 16:9. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, drone or propellers visible in frame, horizon tilting unless asked, shaky footage.

Troubleshooting

  • The camera barely moves: name a destination ('toward the mountain range') so the model has a direction to travel.
  • FPV shots turn into a blur: reduce speed words ('fast' instead of 'extremely fast') and add 'clear detail on surfaces'.
  • Trees or water texture boils: shorten the duration or generate at higher quality settings if available.

Known limitations

  • Long continuous flights often lose coherence; plan to cut between several shorter aerials.
  • Generated aerials are not a substitute for real location footage when accuracy matters (property, travel claims).
