✨ Three small workflow upgrades

01 / Structure long prompts with XML

<aside> 🧩

Separate your style, references, timing and output requirements so Claude can follow a complex brief more clearly.

</aside>

Anthropic recommends XML tags when a prompt mixes instructions, context and examples. Use consistent, descriptive tag names.

02 / Test one second first

<aside> ⏱️

Test the hardest visual effect before building the whole video. A one-second test makes the texture and movement easier to judge and revise.

03 / Check keyframes before rendering

<aside> 🔎

Ask for a contact sheet: several key frames arranged in one image. Review the composition, text and transitions before the final export.
