The Video-to-Video Prompt

Transform existing footage.

Source footage: [DESCRIBE]
Transformation wanted: [STYLE CHANGE / ENVIRONMENT CHANGE /
CHARACTER CHANGE / RESTYLE]
Platform: [NAME]

Produce:
1. What video-to-video preserves and what it replaces
2. How to describe the target so structure is kept and appearance
   changes
3. Strength setting guidance: how much transformation before
   coherence breaks
4. What in my source footage will help and what will fight the
   transformation
5. The prompt text

Then:
6. What source footage characteristics produce the best results —
   clear subject separation, simple motion, good contrast
7. Whether my source is suitable, honestly
8. What to shoot or generate differently if I control the source

CRITICAL: if the source footage contains a real person, a real
place, or copyrighted material, transforming it does not remove the
underlying rights issue. Flag this if it applies.
