"thumbnail_generation_prompt": { "platform": "DALL-E 3 / Midjourney / Ideogram / Sora Still Frame", "prompt": "A professional YouTube thumbnail design at 1920x1080 resolution. Dark deep navy blue background (#0A1628) with a very subtle circuit board trace pattern at 10 percent opacity. On the LEFT 40 percent of the frame stands a faceless humanoid character silhouette with a completely smooth blank oval head and NO facial features, wearing a deep navy hoodie with subtle geometric patterns on sleeves and an orange t-shirt visible at the collar. The character is positioned at a three-quarter angle facing toward the right side of the frame. In the character's right hand they hold a glowing neon blue (#00B4D8) brain icon with light rays emanating outward. In their left hand they hold a glowing vibrant orange (#FF6B35) laptop icon also with light rays. Both objects cast colorful light onto the character creating blue glow on the right side and orange glow on the left side. Behind the character is a radial glow effect blending orange and blue. On the RIGHT 55 percent of the frame is large bold text. The top line reads 'WHY TECH NEEDS' in white (#FFFFFF) Montserrat Extra Bold font at approximately 120px equivalent size with a 4px black outline stroke and a dark drop shadow. Below it the second line reads 'SOFT SKILLS' in vibrant orange (#FF6B35) Montserrat Extra Bold at approximately 140px equivalent size also with black outline and shadow. The text is vertically centered on the right side. In the TOP LEFT corner sits a small badge with rounded rectangle shape in vibrant orange (#FF6B35) background containing white bold text reading 'SECRET WEAPON' rotated negative 5 degrees. A curved orange arrow graphic sweeps from near the brain icon to point at the SOFT SKILLS text creating visual flow. A brain emoji appears in the top right corner at about 80px size. The overall design has extremely high contrast between the dark background and bright elements ensuring text is easily readable even at small thumbnail size. The style is clean professional graphic design suitable for a YouTube thumbnail. No photorealism. Clean vector-style illustration with bold graphic elements.", "negative_prompt": "realistic photo, photograph, realistic face, eyes, low contrast, hard to read text, small text, cluttered, too many elements, blurry, low resolution, watermark, ugly, messy, busy background, dull colors, photorealistic rendering", "output": { "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "format": "PNG" } }, "generation_tips": { "for_sora_2": [ "Paste the full_single_prompt for a one-shot 15-second generation", "Alternatively generate each scene separately using scene_by_scene_prompts and stitch in editing software", "Always prepend the character_consistency_reference text before each scene prompt", "Use the style_consistency_reference as a style preset or system instruction if the platform supports it", "For best results generate at 9:16 aspect ratio for YouTube Shorts", "If character consistency breaks between scenes, use the character reference image feature by generating a still frame of TechPro first and uploading it as a reference" ], "for_veo_3": [ "Veo 3 supports longer coherent generations so the full_single_prompt should work well as a single input", "If generating scene by scene, include the character_consistency_reference with every prompt", "Veo 3 handles camera movements well so include the specific camera angle descriptions", "Use the negative prompt field if available to prevent realistic faces appearing", "For voice, generate video without audio first then add voiceover and sound effects in post-production", "If Veo 3 supports style reference images generate a still character sheet first and reference it" ], "post_production_workflow": [ "Step 1: Generate all 4 scenes individually for maximum quality control", "Step 2: Review each scene for character consistency and visual quality", "Step 3: Regenerate any scenes where character design drifts from the reference", "Step 4: Import all scenes into video editor (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve)", "Step 5: Add transitions between scenes (smooth slide, 0.3s ease-in-out)", "Step 6: Record or generate AI voiceover matching the script", "Step 7: Add background music (lo-fi electronic ambient, 85 BPM)", "Step 8: Add sound effects (whooshes, pops, dings, impact stamps)", "Step 9: Add any text overlays that were not generated in the AI video", "Step 10: Color grade for consistency across all scenes", "Step 11: Export as MP4, 1080x1920, 30fps for YouTube Shorts", "Step 12: Generate thumbnail using the thumbnail_generation_prompt", "Step 13: Upload to YouTube with the metadata from the upload section" ] } } }
