Design the prohibition list for this shot. Sort what I do not want into three groups: 1. **Genuinely needs prohibiting** — things generators insert uninvited: text, subtitles, logos, watermarks, extra limbs, duplicated faces, bystanders. 2. **Better stated positively.** *A positive description usually outperforms a prohibition* — "both hands resting on the table" beats "no extra hands". Rewrite these. 3. **Drop.** Prohibiting something the model was never going to produce adds noise, and in some tools naming a thing makes it more likely to appear. Say which of mine fall here. Then: - The final list, ordered by likelihood of occurring. - Which entries are compensating for a current model weakness. *Mark these — when the model improves, they become dead weight and sometimes harmful.* This is the part of a video prompt that expires first. - Whether the tool I named even supports a separate negative field, or whether prohibitions go inline. Rules: - Keep it short. A long prohibition list dilutes the rest of the prompt. - Do not prohibit something that the positive description already excludes. - ⚠️ Note that prohibition behavior differs sharply between tools and versions; say what should be re-tested after an update.
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Shot · What must not appear · Tool)
What this prompt does
A longer negative list is not a better one, and some tools attend to forbidden terms rather than avoiding them. This keeps only what is needed and converts the rest into positive statements.
