60 AI Video Prompts You Can Copy and Paste (2026)

📅 Sep 2026·⏱ 6 min read·PulseMotionHub Team

A great AI video usually starts with a great prompt, and a great prompt is mostly structure. Below are 60 prompts across ten categories that you can paste straight into Text to Video, plus the simple formula behind them so you can write your own. Test any of them for 1 credit with a 5-second Kling 2.5 Turbo clip.

Key takeaways

Formula: subject + action + setting + camera + style/light.
One main action per 5-second clip. More than that and the model rushes.
Camera words (dolly, orbit, tracking, drone) are the fastest way to look cinematic.
Test with a 5-second Kling 2.5 Turbo clip (1 credit) before spending on longer or premium clips.

Part	Example
Subject	An elderly fisherman with a white beard
