Cosmos 3 Super Prompt Guide
The quality of your Cosmos 3 Super output depends heavily on how clearly you describe what you want. This guide covers the core principles for writing stronger text to image prompts and image to video motion prompts, with real examples you can adapt for your own Cosmos 3 Super generations.
The strongest Cosmos 3 Super text to image prompts describe who or what is in the scene, where it is set, and what visual style it should follow. Vague prompts like 'a person in a city' leave too much open. Specific prompts like 'a woman in a white jacket standing on a rain-wet Tokyo street at night, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field' give Cosmos 3 Super enough direction to return a usable result on the first generation.
Lighting is one of the highest-leverage prompt elements in Cosmos 3 Super. Describing the light source — soft top light, golden hour side light, neon reflection, studio rim light — changes the mood and quality of the output significantly. Add an emotional tone word alongside the lighting to reinforce the atmosphere: dramatic, calm, energetic, cinematic, editorial.
Cosmos 3 Super generates images natively at the ratio you choose, so the composition is designed for the right canvas from the first output. Choose square for social feed posts, 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails and web banners, and 9:16 for Reels and Shorts. Choosing the ratio before generating saves you from cropping a composition that was not designed for the channel.
When writing a Cosmos 3 Super image to video motion prompt, focus on change. Cosmos 3 Super already reads the uploaded still image, so there is no need to re-describe the subject or scene. Write what should happen: 'slow camera push into the subject', 'rain begins to fall', 'the steam rises and curls left', 'ambient light flickers softly'. Motion direction is the most useful thing you can put in a Cosmos 3 Super video prompt.
Cosmos 3 Super Image to Video responds well to prompts that separate camera motion from subject motion and atmosphere. A prompt like 'slow dolly forward, subject turns slightly, soft wind moves the hair, overcast ambient light' gives Cosmos 3 Super three distinct motion directions to work with. That specificity usually produces a more controlled and watchable clip than a single vague term like 'cinematic movement'.
Short Cosmos 3 Super clips work well for product loops, motion accents, and social content where the clip loops cleanly. Longer durations give Cosmos 3 Super more room to develop atmospheric motion, build a transition, or extend a character moment. If the first Cosmos 3 Super output feels rushed, increase the duration and regenerate before changing the prompt.
Text to Image · Product hero image
Prompt: A premium skincare bottle on a white marble surface, soft studio lighting from the upper left, clean shadows, commercial photography style, 3:4 aspect ratio.
Why it works: This Cosmos 3 Super prompt names the product, surface, light direction, style, and ratio — five elements that together define a usable commercial image.
Text to Image · Character portrait
Prompt: Editorial portrait of a woman in her 30s, natural light from a large window, white linen background, soft focus, quiet and confident mood, 4:3 aspect ratio.
Why it works: Cosmos 3 Super portrait prompts work best when they include the light source, background, emotional tone, and a focal style — not just a description of the person.
Text to Image · Concept art scene
Prompt: Abandoned lighthouse on a rocky coastal cliff at dusk, volumetric fog, deep blue and amber tones, cinematic wide shot, painterly style, 16:9 aspect ratio.
Why it works: For Cosmos 3 Super concept art, describe the location, time of day, color palette, shot framing, and visual treatment together to get a scene that works as a moodboard or storyboard reference.
Image to Video · Product motion loop
Prompt: Slow camera drift to the right, soft highlight shimmer on the bottle surface, subtle depth-of-field shift, no subject movement, calm commercial pacing.
Why it works: This Cosmos 3 Super motion prompt works because it names the camera direction, the surface behavior, and the pacing — without re-describing the product that is already visible in the still.
Image to Video · Social short clip
Prompt: Gentle zoom into the subject, soft wind moves the hair, ambient light shifts slightly warmer, atmospheric and quiet mood, slow pacing.
Why it works: Cosmos 3 Super image to video social prompts should be short and directional. Three to five motion cues give the model enough to work with without over-constraining the output.
Image to Video · Cinematic scene animation
Prompt: Slow push forward through the fog, light flickers on the water surface, distant sound of wind implied by subtle atmospheric motion, cinematic and moody pacing.
Why it works: For longer Cosmos 3 Super clips, describe motion as it would unfold across several seconds — start with the camera, then the environment, then the atmosphere.
