The complete system for the dominant pro AI-video workflow: start-frame craft to motion prompting. Learn why image-to-video beats text-to-video for commercial work, how to craft start frames that direct the motion (Midjourney vs Flux, the 5-layer prompt structure, the 6-point QC pass), the end-frame planning method, the 8-move AI camera vocabulary with dramatic function, 20 annotated start-frame-to-prompt case studies, compositing and fix passes, and model temperaments for Runway, Kling, Veo, Sora, and Luma.
