Prompt Compatibility
Aleph requires prompts that focus on transformations and changes rather than describing existing content. Best practices include focusing on modifications (e.g., "transform into watercolor style" rather than "video of a person walking").
Best Practices:
- Focus on modifications, not descriptions
- Include camera movement descriptions
- Add temporal elements ("gradually", "smoothly", "suddenly")
- Specify lighting/atmosphere changes
Transformation Types:
Style transfers, object additions/removals, lighting adjustments, weather changes, artistic effects. Optional reference images can guide style or appearance.
