Do I need to write a full scene, or just describe the sky?

A sky-only prompt can work, but adding where the viewer is standing usually gives a more believable result. A simple first-frame setup like "view from a balcony under heavy rain clouds" is often enough.

Is this effect better for calm videos or dramatic weather?

It can handle both, depending on your prompt. Soft pastel clouds tend to create gentle motion, while storm buildup, wind, and darker lighting usually push the result toward a more intense mood.

Can I use it for text-based social posts?

Yes. This effect works well as moving background footage for quotes, affirmations, event promos, or lyric overlays, especially on Reels, TikTok, and vertical story formats.

Will small wording changes in my prompt make a big difference?

Yes, especially with weather terms and lighting cues. Changing "overcast" to "stormy" or "sunset" to "blue hour" can noticeably shift the color palette, energy, and cloud behavior.

Should I mention camera perspective in the prompt?

Definitely if you want the result to feel more intentional. Details like "from a balcony," "through a car windshield," or "wide beach view" help the AI compose the shot in a way that feels more usable for real posts.

Does this effect always include characters, or can it be just a landscape shot?

This one is built around a character interaction, so the final video is best when your prompt suggests a lookout scene people can react to. If you only want pure atmospheric cloud footage, a non-character sky effect will be a better fit.

Is this effect better with funny prompts or serious ones?

It leans naturally toward light comedy because the scene is designed around a visual-and-dialogue payoff. You can still write a more serene first frame, but the finished clip will usually read as playful rather than dramatic or meditative.
