# Common mistakes Too vague: "make a viral ad". Add subject, action, structure, and ingredient references. * Too long: one prompt contains the whole ad. Split it into scenes. * Too many goals: actor testimonial, product demo, app walkthrough, and CTA in one shot. Pick one job per scene. * Product details hardcoded into prompts. Put them in ingredients. * Expecting exact app UI from a model. Use screen recordings or editor overlays. * Conflicting references. Do not ask a product to look different from its reference image. When a prompt fails, simplify first. Remove extra adjectives, reduce scene complexity, and regenerate one scene before changing the entire project. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
