Magic Prompt

Magic Prompt is a toggle in the composer that expands a short brief into a full, well-structured prompt before sending it to the model. It follows the same five-part formula covered in the video prompt guide, so you get the benefits of discipline without writing every line by hand.

What it does

When Magic Prompt is on, your prompt is passed through a language model before generation. The rewrite adds subject specificity, camera direction, lighting language, and style tags based on the brief you wrote. The expanded version is sent to the video or image model.

Example:

scared astronaut spacewalk

Cinematic medium close-up: an astronaut in a white EVA suit with
a fogged visor, clinging to the exterior of a space station as
Earth glows blue far below. The astronaut's breathing is heavy,
visible through the shaking of the tether. Slow drift of the
camera. Hard rim light from the sun, deep black shadow, crushed
highlights on the suit, documentary-verité handheld feel, 35mm
lens, subtle lens vignette.

When to use it

• You want to move fast and do not want to hand-write every detail.
• You have an idea but not a full shot description.
• You are new to prompting and still learning the vocabulary.
• You want to iterate a lot: brief, generate, refine, generate again.

When to turn it off

• You have a precise prompt you have already tuned. Magic Prompt will rewrite it and you lose control.
• You are reproducing a specific result (a reference from another generation).
• You are running a methodical A/B test. Magic Prompt's expansion is not deterministic.
• You are working with character refs and a locked character description. Magic Prompt might rephrase the character details, which disrupts consistency. Keep your hard-won description intact.

Which models support it

Magic Prompt is available on:

• Fawna Muse
• Fawna Spark
• Fawna Drama
• Fawna Illustrate

It is not available on Cinema, Motion, the Veo-family tiers (Film, Film Turbo, Film Lite, Audio), or Compose. Those models either respond well enough to terse prompts that expansion does not help, or they handle prompt quality internally.

Quality expectations

Magic Prompt is consistent but not clairvoyant. It will not invent specific character details you did not provide. It will not know you meant your character's red scarf unless you mentioned it. For character or product work, always include the stable description in your brief and let Magic Prompt handle the scene and camera.

A good brief to feed into Magic Prompt is a one-liner that nails the who and what: "A bearded fisherman mending a net at dawn" beats "a cinematic scene". The more concrete your seed, the better the expansion.
