A good AI video prompt for property names one camera move, one speed and one mood, and tells the model what must not change. For example: "Slow push-in towards the sofa, steady camera, soft afternoon light, keep the furniture and walls exactly as they are." Short, physical and calm prompts give clips that look like real footage. Long, creative prompts give clips that warp.
What makes a property prompt work?
Every reliable prompt has four parts:
| Part | Example words |
|---|---|
| Camera move | slow push-in, gentle pull-back, slide left, rise up, slow pan right |
| Speed and feel | slow, steady, smooth, gimbal, cinematic |
| Light or mood | soft morning light, golden hour, blue hour, warm lamps on |
| What to keep | keep the layout, furniture and windows unchanged |
The last part matters most for property. A buyer or guest who sees a different sofa when they arrive will not trust your next listing.
Prompts for homes and apartments
Copy these and change the room name:
- Living room: "Slow push-in towards the sofa and window, steady gimbal shot, soft daylight, keep all furniture and walls unchanged."
- Kitchen: "Smooth slide to the right along the kitchen island, steady camera, bright natural light, no changes to cabinets or appliances."
- Bedroom: "Gentle pull-back from the bed, calm and slow, warm bedside lamps on, keep the room exactly as it is."
- Bathroom: "Very slow push-in towards the bath, steady, clean bright light, no new objects."
- Exterior: "Slow rise up from the front path to reveal the whole house, clear blue sky, steady drone-like move."
- Garden: "Slow pan left across the garden towards the house, late afternoon sun, light breeze in the trees."
Prompts for hotels and resorts
- Room reveal: "Slow push-in from the doorway towards the bed and window view, soft morning light, curtains moving slightly."
- Pool: "Slow rise over the pool towards the sea view, golden hour, calm water."
- Lobby: "Smooth slide to the left through the lobby, warm evening light, steady camera."
- Restaurant: "Gentle push-in towards a set table by the window, candles lit, warm light."
- Spa: "Very slow pull-back from the treatment bed, soft dim light, calm."
Prompts for Airbnb and holiday lets
- First impression: "Slow push-in through the front door into the living room, bright and welcoming, keep everything unchanged."
- The view: "Slow rise from the balcony railing to reveal the view, clear sky, steady."
- Cosy evening: "Gentle push-in towards the sofa and fireplace, warm lamps on, evening light outside."
- Hot tub: "Slow slide to the right past the hot tub at dusk, steam rising, warm garden lights."
Which words should you avoid?
Avoid words that ask for big, fast or impossible moves:
- "Fly through the whole house" (the model has to invent rooms it cannot see)
- "Fast zoom", "whip pan", "spin 360"
- "Add people", "add a dog", "make it bigger"
- Several moves in one prompt ("push in then pan then rise")
Each of these is where AI clips start to bend walls, change furniture or create rooms that do not exist.
Can you skip prompts completely?
Yes. Most people do not want to write prompts for every photo. In Splatr you can pick a style and let the AI director choose a move for each photo, or pick one from a short list: push in, pull out, slide left, slide right, rise.
Effects work the same way. Choose "Day to dusk", "From the sky", "Lights on" or "Furnish" and the prompt is written for you.
- Day to dusk
- From the sky
- Lights on
- Furnish
How do you fix a clip without starting again?
Tell the AI editor what to change, in plain words:

- Make the bedroom shot shorter and slower.
- Done. The bedroom is now 3 seconds with a slower push-in.
- Use calmer music and add our phone number at the end.
- Swapped to a calm piano track and added your number to the end card.
Tips for better results
- Start with a sharp, bright, wide photo. Fix dark photos first with HDR enhance.
- Use one move per photo.
- Keep clips to 3 to 5 seconds.
- Review every clip and drop any that change the space.
- Label virtually staged or restyled rooms in your caption.
