Domo AI Prompts

If you’ve tried Domo AI and wondered why some videos look incredible while others feel “meh,” the difference is usually the prompt. Domo AI Prompts are the instructions you give the system to control style, motion, mood, and detail. The better your prompt, the closer the result matches what’s in your head.

This guide explains what Domo AI prompts are, the main types you’ll use, and practical templates you can copy and tweak for your own projects.

1. What Are Domo AI Prompts?

A Domo AI prompt is a short text description (sometimes combined with reference images or videos) that tells the model:

  • What you want (scene, subject, action)

  • How it should look (style, lighting, camera, colors)

  • What to avoid (blurriness, distortion, unwanted elements)

Domo AI then uses this prompt together with your source video or frame to restyle footage, generate new motion, or enhance quality.

Where prompts show up in Domo AI

  • Video-to-video: you upload a video and prompt the style or mood.

  • Image-to-video / style reference: you provide an image + a prompt for motion and look.

  • Talking avatars / character tools: you use prompts to describe the character, background, and vibe.

2. Types of Domo AI Prompts

You’ll mostly deal with four prompt “families” in Domo AI:

  1. Scene prompts – describe what is happening.

  2. Style prompts – describe how it should look.

  3. Technical prompts – camera, lighting, resolution feel.

  4. Negative prompts – what you don’t want in the shot.

Let’s break these down.

2.1 Scene Prompts

These define the subject and action.

Examples

  • “A girl playing piano on a rooftop at sunset, medium shot.”

  • “Close-up of a robot blinking in a neon-lit alley, slow camera push-in.”

  • “A skateboarder doing a kickflip in a city plaza, handheld vibe.”

Good scene prompts answer:

  • Who / what? (character, object)

  • Where? (environment)

  • What are they doing? (action or motion)

  • How close is the camera? (wide, medium, close-up)

2.2 Style Prompts

These control the aesthetic and art direction.

Examples

  • “soft anime style, pastel colors, clean line art”

  • “cinematic 3D, realistic lighting, Pixar-inspired”

  • “painterly brush strokes, warm color grading, dreamy”

You can mix inspiration sources:

  • “Ghibli-inspired anime, natural colors, gentle shading”

  • “Cyberpunk, neon glow, rainy city, reflective surfaces”

Always keep style prompts concise but specific. Too many conflicting adjectives confuse the model.

2.3 Technical Prompts

These describe how the shot is captured and lit.

Examples

  • “shot on a 35mm lens, shallow depth of field”

  • “studio lighting, soft key light, subtle rim light”

  • “cinematic color grading, high contrast, film grain”

This layer is especially useful when you want the output to match live-action footage or a specific brand look.

2.4 Negative Prompts

Negative prompts are phrases like “no …” that tell the model what to avoid.

They help reduce:

  • warped hands or faces

  • weird artifacts

  • unwanted props or text

Examples

  • “no text, no logos, no extra characters”

  • “avoid distortion, avoid exaggerated proportions”

  • “no flickering, no glitch effects”

You usually append this at the end of your main prompt.

3. How Domo AI Prompts Work With Different Modes

3.1 Video-to-Video Prompts

Here you upload existing footage and use prompts to restyle it.

Goal: keep motion + timing, change the look.

Prompt pattern

[scene summary of your original video] + [desired style] + [technical look] + [negative prompts]

Example

You upload a clip of yourself walking through a park and want an anime restyle:

“Person walking through a sunny park, anime style, soft pastel colors, clean line art, gentle lighting, cinematic framing, no text, no extra characters, no distortion.”

Domo AI uses the existing motion, but applies the anime style described in the prompt.

3.2 Image-to-Video & Style Reference Prompts

When you give Domo AI a reference image (like a concept frame or brand artwork), the prompt refines what happens over time:

  • How the camera moves

  • How the character acts

  • What kind of mood or motion you want

Example

You upload a brand character illustration and want them to wave:

“Smooth looped animation of the character waving and smiling, soft anime style, bright daylight, subtle camera sway, no extra characters, no text.”

The image locks in the style; the prompt guides animation and mood.

3.3 Character & Avatar Prompts

For talking avatars or character-based content, prompts define:

  • character appearance

  • outfit and expression

  • background and vibe

Example

“Friendly virtual host, short brown hair, casual hoodie, standing in a minimal studio with soft blue lighting, clean modern design, no logos, no text.”

You then combine this with a voice track or script for lip sync.

4. Best Practices for Writing Domo AI Prompts

4.1 Start Simple, Then Layer Details

Begin with a clear core idea:

  • “girl playing piano in an anime style”

If the output is close, add one layer of detail at a time:

  • “girl playing piano in an anime style, warm sunset lighting”

  • then “soft pastel colors, gentle camera movement”

  • then “no extra characters, no logos”

This prevents over-complication.

4.2 Match Prompts to Your Source Video

Describe what is already in the footage, then describe how you want it altered.

Bad example:

  • Source: you sitting at a desk

  • Prompt: “epic car chase, night city street, rain”

The model has trouble because the motion doesn’t match.

Better:

  • “person sitting at a desk, turned into anime style, futuristic neon office, shallow depth of field.”

4.3 Use Consistent Phrasing Across a Series

If you are making a playlist, campaign, or series, reuse the same core prompt:

“anime style, pastel colors, soft lighting, gentle film grain”

Then only change the scene part (“girl playing piano”, “boy reading book”, etc.). This keeps all videos visually consistent.

4.4 Keep Prompts Under Control

Extremely long prompts can be confusing. Aim for 1–3 short sentences:

  1. Scene

  2. Style

  3. Technical / negative

Example structure:

“A boy playing keyboard on a hill at sunset. Cinematic anime style, soft lighting, warm color grading. No text, no extra characters, no distortion.”

4.5 Save Your Best Prompts

When a prompt produces a great result, save it somewhere:

  • turn it into a template

  • reuse it for other clips

  • adjust it slightly instead of reinventing it every time

Over time you’ll build your own library of “Domo AI prompt recipes.”

5. Prompt Templates You Can Copy

Here are some ready-made Domo AI prompt templates. Replace the CAPITALIZED parts with your own details.

5.1 Anime Music Video Style

“A CHARACTER playing INSTRUMENT on a small stage, camera gently moving. Soft anime style, glowing stage lights, pastel color palette, subtle film grain. No extra characters, no text, no distortion.”

5.2 Cinematic Product Shot

“Close-up of PRODUCT on a rotating platform, dark studio background. Photoreal 3D style, dramatic side lighting, high contrast, reflections on the surface. No hands, no text, no background clutter.”

5.3 Social Media Talking Head

“Person speaking to camera, medium shot. Clean modern style, bright daylight from a window, soft depth of field, warm color grading. No text, no on-screen graphics, no flickering.”

5.4 Fantasy Restyle

“CHARACTER walking through a forest, turned into fantasy anime style. Magical lighting, glowing particles in the air, rich saturated colors, gentle camera shake. No modern objects, no text, no distortion.”

5.5 Corporate Explainer Look

“Presenter standing in front of abstract shapes, minimal background. Flat, clean illustration style, corporate color palette (BLUE, WHITE, ACCENT COLOR), smooth camera moves. No clutter, no extra characters, no logos.”

6. Common Prompt Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Too vague

    • “Make it cool.”

    • Instead: “cinematic 3D style, teal-and-orange color grading, dramatic lighting.”

  2. Contradictory instructions

    • “Dark moody scene with bright cheerful colors.”

    • Choose one direction per shot.

  3. Ignoring the source video

    • Asking for actions that don’t exist in the footage.

    • Keep motion requests realistic.

  4. Forgetting negatives

    • If you hate text, distortion, or extra characters, say so explicitly.

7. How to Experiment and Improve Fast

  • Run small tests: Use short clips (3–5 seconds) when exploring new prompts.

  • Change one thing at a time: Style, then lighting, then camera, etc.

  • Compare versions: Save different outputs side-by-side and note which words helped.

  • Refine your favorites: Once you get a look you like, rephrase gently to see if you can make it even cleaner.

Final Thoughts

Domo AI Prompts are the secret language between you and the model. You don’t need to be a professional director or animator—just clear about what you want. Start with simple scene + style descriptions, add technical and negative details as needed, and keep a library of your best prompt recipes.
