Getting better results
One moment per clip. AI video clips are usually 5–10 seconds long. Make two or three and join them in CapCut or Instagram’s editor.
Describe motion, camera and sound. “Snow starts falling”, “slow camera push-in” and “sleigh bells” do more than adjectives. Gemini’s Veo also generates audio.
Photo-to-video keeps faces best. Make your photo first with our Christmas photo prompts, then animate it.
Add longer text afterwards. AI video can misspell words, so keep on-screen text short.
