Reels — Video

Before → After Transition

Default video prompt for before/after reel transformations. Used by Kling 3.0 with first+last frame.

Kling 3.0
{productTitle}
Smooth, cinematic transition from an empty room to a beautifully styled interior. Start with a slow gentle pan of the bare space, then seamlessly reveal the room transforming with luxury products appearing. Keep the camera movement subtle and steady. The transition should feel magical and aspirational. IMPORTANT: Complete the full transformation by 70% of the video duration, then HOLD the final styled room completely still for the remaining 30% — no camera movement, no changes, just a clean static hero shot of the finished space so the viewer can take it all in.

Reels — Image

Vertical Conversion (9:16)

Extends a non-vertical image to 9:16 portrait for Instagram Reels. Product positioned at ~40% from top to avoid IG UI overlay.

nano-banana-pro
{productTitle}
Take this interior/lifestyle photograph and extend it to a full 9:16 vertical portrait composition. Keep the EXACT same room, products, lighting, colors, and styling — do not change or remove anything visible in the original image. Extend the scene naturally above and below to fill the vertical frame. Position the main product/focal point at approximately 40% from the top (upper-center area). The lower portion will be covered by Instagram Reels UI, so important content must sit higher. Extended areas should contain realistic continuation of the room — walls, ceiling, floor — matching lighting and perspective perfectly. Photorealistic. Same camera angle. Seamless extension.
reels.image.vertical-conversion
Before Image — Base Prompt

The wrapper prompt around removal instructions for generating 'before' images. The removal preset text gets inserted where {removalInstructions} appears.

nano-banana-pro
{removalInstructions}{shotName}{extraNotes}
Take this interior/lifestyle photograph and recreate the EXACT same room, same camera angle, same wall color, same flooring — but {removalInstructions}. LIGHTING: Make the lighting flat, dull, and uninspiring — like a basic overhead fluorescent or flat ambient light with no warmth or atmosphere. If there are any lamps, chandeliers, sconces, pendant lights, or any decorative light fixtures visible, they must be TURNED OFF (no glow, no warm light emanating from them). The room should feel cold-lit and lifeless compared to the styled version. The space should look realistic but clearly lacking — like a real estate photo of an unfurnished or poorly decorated room. Keep the room architecture, windows, doors, walls, and flooring exactly the same. The result should look like a "before" photo that makes the viewer feel the space needs improvement. Photorealistic interior photography. Same perspective and composition as the reference image.
