Want better motion in your Veo 2 videos?
Here’s how to build a strong image-to-video prompt using a few simple elements. Better motion starts with better structure 👇
1. Core elements
A complete motion prompt in Veo 2 includes five core elements:
→ Subject
→ Action
→ Context
→ Style
→ (Optional) Camera motion
Use these to shape a scene that feels dynamic, clear, and intentional.
2. Define the subject
Call out the focus of the shot.
Example: Raccoon walks toward camera
3. Add context
Mention what’s happening around the subject.
Example: Scuba diver turns head, shark swims
4. Use action verbs
Verbs drive motion. Keep it clear and specific.
Example: Fox runs through a icy stream
5. Add style references
Mention animation techniques or visual formats.
Example: Claymation style stop motion animation
6. Combine the elements
Bring it all together in one prompt.
Example: Puppet character shouts from rooftop, surrounded by softly falling snow
7. Add optional motion
Once the core is in place, layer in camera movement or extra visual dynamics.
Example: Camera tracks backwards
