Picture this: you're standing in the perfect location at golden hour, VEO3 in hand, but you're frantically googling "time-lapse settings" while the magic light slips away. You know your gear is capable of cinematic shots, but without the right 13 prompts to guide your AI planning tools, you end up with mediocre footage that doesn't match your vision. Sound familiar?
These 13 battle-tested AI prompts transform your VEO3 from a complex piece of equipment into a precision cinematic tool. Each prompt delivers camera-ready settings, step-by-step execution plans, and post-production guidance for everything from holy grail sunrise captures to multi-day construction timelapses. Instead of spending hours researching intervals, exposure ramps, and gimbal movements, you'll have AI generate complete shooting plans in minutes, letting you focus on capturing those breathtaking cinematic moments.
1
Sunrise to Day (Holy Grail) — Smooth Exposure Ramp
You are a VEO3 timelapse expert. Create a complete shot plan to capture a sunrise-to-day 'holy grail' time-lapse at a scenic overlook. Include: recommended interval schedule (pre-dawn and post-sunrise), initial and final shutter speeds, ISO, aperture, ND filter suggestions, bulb ramping/exposure ramp table (per-minute or per-frame adjustments), total frames for a 20-second final clip at 24 fps, gimbal motion (pan/tilt degrees and speed), suggested white balance strategy, RAW vs JPEG advice, battery and storage checklist, and a simple post-processing workflow (software and basic steps). Assume camera is full-frame, lens 24-70mm at 35mm, and total capture window is 90 minutes centered on sunrise.
Generate VEO3 settings and ramp plan to capture a sunrise into full daylight with smooth exposure transitions (bulb ramping or manual exposure table).
2
Sunset to Night (Holy Grail) — From Gold to Stars
You are a VEO3 timelapse specialist. Provide a complete capture plan for shooting sunset into night for a coastal skyline: exact interval schedule, shutter/ISO/aperture progression (with bulb ramping table for low-light), when/how to switch to longer exposures (for stars), star-specific settings (tracking off/on), gimbal motion instructions (arc + slow tilt), recommended ND usage (if any), recommended final frame rate and frames for a 15s deliverable at 30 fps, anti-flicker tips, and post pipeline (including noise reduction for stars). Camera: APS-C sensor, 16-35mm at 16mm, total capture 120 minutes centered on sunset.
Plan a sunset-to-night time-lapse that preserves color during sunset and exposes the night sky cleanly using exposure ramping and VEO3 motion.
3
Fast Cloudscape Cinematic Motion-Lapse
Act as an experienced VEO3 timelapse planner. Create a shot recipe to emphasize fast cloud motion over a mountain range during a 2-hour capture window. Include ideal interval, shutter speed to create motion blur (target 1/8–1/2s), aperture and ISO ranges, recommended neutral density filter (to allow longer shutter in daylight), gimbal movement (slow lateral pan with occasional vertical shift), final frame-rate/length for a 12s clip, and framing/composition tips to accentuate leading lines in clouds.
Settings and motion plan for dramatic fast-moving clouds (cinematic streaks) across a wide landscape using VEO3 gimbal movement.
4
Astro Time-Lapse & Star Trails (No Tracking)
You are a VEO3 astro timelapse advisor. Produce a capture plan for star motion and short star-trail sequences without a star-tracker: optimal exposure length to avoid trailing per focal length (500 rule or NPF), ISO, aperture, interval between exposures, number of frames needed for a 20s final clip at 24 fps, gimbal recommendations (lock to avoid unintended motion), dew prevention, battery strategy for multi-hour capture, and a short post workflow for stacking star frames and blending with foreground exposures.
Instructions for long-exposure astro time-lapses and optional star trails using VEO3 for fixed-long exposures (no star tracker).
5
Urban Traffic Light Trails (Cityscape Night)
You are a VEO3 urban timelapse specialist. Provide settings to capture traffic light trails on an elevated city vantage point for a 10s cinematic clip at 30 fps. Include ideal shutter speeds to create continuous streaks (0.5s–2s), interval timing, ISO/aperture, gimbal movement (small arc/pan), recommended focal length for strong perspective compression, recommended exposures for balancing bright signs and darker streets, and a workflow for blending bracketed exposures if necessary.
Plan for city traffic streaks combined with slow gimbal motion to create dynamic urban timelapses.
6
Hyperlapse Walk (Stabilized Motion Across Distance)
You are a VEO3 hyperlapse consultant. Create a practical workflow to capture a 200m hyperlapse walk along a promenade: step spacing, camera framing repeat technique, gimbal mode and settings, interval/exposure guidelines for daytime, recommended focal length and nodal point advice, recommended capture count for a 15s final clip at 24 fps, and post stabilization/warp stabilization tips (software and parameters). Also include logistics: markers, battery swaps, and safe path suggestions.
Step-by-step hyperlapse plan using VEO3 for stabilised moving time-lapse (walk or dolly mimic) with consistent framing.
7
Interior/Architectural Time-Lapse (Mixed Lighting)
You are a VEO3 timelapse pro for interiors. Provide a capture plan for a museum gallery timelapse (3-hour capture) with mixed LED and ambient daylight: advise on fixed white balance, ISO/aperture/shutter choices to avoid flicker, interval choices, recommended use of electronic shutter or anti-flicker settings, how to bracket or use HLG/Log if available, suggested gimbal moves (gentle reveal or static), and post-processing steps to correct remaining flicker and color casts.
Capture interior scenes with flicker-prone mixed lighting (LED, fluorescent). Provide exposure and white balance strategies to minimize flicker and color shifts.
