THE PEXO PROMPT LIBRARY / GUIDE

Negative Prompts for AI Video: Remove Artifacts and Glitches

Some video workflows support a separate negative-prompt field; others accept only ordinary scene instructions. Check the selected workflow before using an exclusion list. The examples below are natural-language revision requests, not model-specific settings, and they cannot guarantee perfect anatomy, stable text or flicker-free motion. A clear positive brief usually matters more.

Use Negative Prompts Sparingly

Describe the wanted shot first: subject, action and camera. Add two or three negative instructions only for defects you can inspect, such as duplicate objects or abrupt cuts. If a problem persists, simplify the positive scene or improve the source image instead of piling on exclusions.

Camera Orbits a Vintage Film Camera on a Table

A realistic 3D vintage film camera rests on a wooden attic table as the viewpoint circles it, revealing metal details in warm skylight and dusty rays for a nostalgic product study.

A vintage film camera, rendered in a realistic 3D style, sits on a wooden table in an attic room. The camera orbits the object, showcasing its details. Sunlight streams through a skylight, creating dramatic shadows and light rays, illuminating the dusty, warm, and nostalgic atmosphere.

Fruit-Flavored Drink Can Studio Animation

A patterned drink can rotates through pastel studio sets with watermelon, pineapple and lemon imagery. Large flavor captions and a final can lineup turn the product shots into a beverage promotion.

Create a studio beverage-can animation with cream patterned labels, soft pastel backgrounds and realistic product lighting. Rotate the can through yellow and mint sets, introduce watermelon, pineapple and lemon fruit props, and reveal large flavor captions. Assemble multiple cans into a clean lineup and finish with a bold placeholder-brand end card.

The Negative Prompt List

Start with a compact list matched to the shot: no duplicate hands, no object morphing, no abrupt cuts and no unreadable generated text. Use only the exclusions you can actually inspect in the preview.

Example 1.

A runner passes a storefront in one continuous side-tracking shot. Keep the runner and outfit consistent; avoid sudden viewpoint changes, duplicate people and flickering signs.

When Negatives Help and When They Don't

Use a short exclusion list tied to a visible failure. Repeating dozens of negatives can obscure the action. If defects persist, simplify the shot, shorten the action or revise the source image.

Example 2.

A hand places a plain glass on a table, fixed camera, natural daylight. Avoid extra fingers, changing glass shape, floating objects, readable labels and abrupt camera cuts.

Common Mistakes and Fixes

If an exclusion does not change the visible defect, remove a competing action or camera move and try a shorter shot. If the glass shape still drifts, supply a clearer reference image and ask to preserve its rim and base. Compare the next preview with the same source; do not assume a negative field works identically in every model interface.

Negative Prompts For AI Video FAQ

Will a negative prompt remove every glitch?

No. It is guidance, not a repair guarantee. Always inspect the render and regenerate or edit where necessary.

How many negative instructions should I add?

Begin with two or three exclusions tied to visible defects. A clear positive scene description remains the main control.
