Reference
This Veo prompt generator workflow turns a product reference into a short commercial video direction. RefPrompt keeps the product, material behavior, camera move, sequence timing, and constraints separate so the prompt does not become a vague cinematic description.
RefPrompt adapts a still product reference for Veo by adding shot length, camera move, light behavior, material continuity, and product-safe negative constraints.
What this workflow covers
Follow the reference analysis through reusable image and video prompts, a Veo adaptation, a real result, practical limitations, and focused negative constraints.

Style Breakdown
The breakdown focuses on product-video controls: a stable hero object, material clarity, atmospheric motion, reflection behavior, and a single readable camera move.
Image Prompt
The still prompt creates a product-safe keyframe.
Luxury cobalt serum bottle centered on a wet dark stone pedestal, translucent blue glass, clean blank frosted label area, silver cap, cold rim light from behind, restrained mist in the background, premium skincare campaign mood, realistic glass refraction, water reflection, no extra objects, no text.Video Prompt
The general video prompt creates a simple commercial sequence.
Create a 6-second luxury skincare product video. The camera performs a slow push-in toward the centered cobalt serum bottle while a cold rim light sweeps once across the glass. Faint mist moves behind the bottle and the water reflection ripples subtly. Keep the bottle, cap, liquid level, label area, reflection, and shadow stable throughout.Midjourney Version
Midjourney can generate the product-safe starting frame.

Veo receives the shot as timed product direction.
Generate a 6-second product film from the reference frame. Start with the cobalt serum bottle centered on a wet stone pedestal. Move the camera forward slowly in one continuous push-in. A cold rim light travels once across the glass while faint mist drifts behind the product and water reflections move subtly. Preserve bottle geometry, cap shape, liquid level, blank label area, reflection, and shadow. No hands, no extra bottles, no text, no label morphing, no fast cuts.Result & Limits
The skincare reference has a clear hero object, cobalt glass material, water reflection, and atmosphere. The Veo prompt turns that into a short product film with stable bottle geometry and a single controlled camera move.
Prompt used in this case
The Veo version asks for a six-second push-in, cool rim-light sweep, faint mist, stable bottle shape, unchanged blank label area, and no extra objects.
Result read
The generated result keeps the cobalt glass, water reflection, and premium skincare mood. The main risk is warped bottle geometry or label artifacts, so the prompt protects cap shape, liquid level, blank label area, and reflection.
Negative Prompt
Protect the product from the most common AI video failures.
warped bottle, melted glass, changing cap, fake label text, extra bottles, liquid sloshing, crooked reflection, excessive mist, overexposed highlights, floating product, camera shake, jump cut, fast zoom, plastic material, cluttered props, inconsistent shadow.CTA
Use the same page structure inside RefPrompt: start from a visual reference, then copy the prompt version that fits the tool and channel.
Try this workflow with RefPrompt.A Veo prompt should include shot length, camera movement, product or subject behavior, lighting changes, continuity rules, and negative constraints. This workflow uses those parts to build a product video prompt from a reference.
Yes. A still image can act as a keyframe. The prompt then describes how the camera, light, atmosphere, and product details should behave over time.
Name the exact details that must not change, such as bottle geometry, cap shape, label area, liquid level, reflection, and shadow. Also avoid too many camera moves in one short clip.
