4. Environment Prompt

One clear written brief for the world your video lives in — before you refine it with images.

You (with help from the assistant) write one main brief for the setting: era, place, light, weather, what belongs and what doesn’t. That gives Environment chat something solid to react to instead of guessing.

This step opens only after Song read is approved and you’ve picked:

  1. A story direction
  2. At least one environment seed

If something’s missing, go back to Song read, finish those picks, lock Song read, then return here.

What this step is for

A single, shootable description of where this video looks like it was filmed — not the whole plot (that comes in Concept and Acts).

What to do

  1. Open Environment prompt in Project Plan.
  2. When Song read is ready, press Start in the chat — the assistant drafts from your Song read choices.
  3. Edit until place, time of day, palette, weather, and hard nos (what never appears) feel right.
  4. Keep it visual — save story beats for Concept.
  5. Approve when you’re ready to generate real-world looks in Environment chat.

Good to know

  • If Environment chat keeps fighting you, fix this brief first — weak seeds spread everywhere.
  • Use the same language as Song read so Concept doesn’t contradict itself later.
