Prompt Planning Worksheet
AI Video Prompt Simplification Worksheet
A worksheet for reducing a crowded AI video direction into one clear action, stable conditions, and a manageable shot.
This worksheet does not provide a finished prompt. It helps you decide what the shot truly needs, what can remain fixed, and when a complex idea should become two separate scenes.
How to use
- 1Write the original scene idea in plain language without model-specific syntax.
- 2Circle one action that must succeed and move everything else into keep, remove, or split.
- 3Use the completed decisions to write your own tool-appropriate direction.

Final checklist
Practical tips
- Specific timing is more useful than adding more adjectives.
- If the shot cannot be summarized in one sentence, consider dividing it.
- Keep proprietary identity references and internal production instructions outside shared worksheets.
