A prompt to break Opus 5.5 motion videos out of their template look
The author notes Opus 5.5 motion videos all look the same and shares a prompt with camera, easing, pacing and audio rules to break the template feel.
Every Opus 5.5 motion video looks like the same f*cking video. Centered text on a gradient. Everything fades in. Logo at the end. That happens when the model gets no reference and no brief. This prompt fixes the process and bakes in the motion rules: → Nothing moves linearly except machines: ease out on entrances, ease in on exits → Stagger related elements 2–4 frames, never animate a layout as one block → The next element starts before the last one settles → Every cut has a carrier: a shape, a line or a camera move → The screen never goes blank: no dips to flat colour, no white flashes → The key idea sits still for a beat, because constant motion is noise → Music about 18 dB under the voice, sound design on about one action in five Plus checks before every gate: text 5% inside each edge, contrast 4.5:1, a frame sheet with one frame per second. Same model. Different brief. Save it and send it to Opus 5.5.
