The prompt

Behind a cafe counter, a young barista starts writing on a cup before the customer has finished ordering, then glances up and stops; the older regular taps two fingers on the counter and gives a small nod. The camera holds a tight over-the-counter two-shot at chest height with almost no movement. Warm morning light through a front window, steam off the espresso machine. Ceramic, worn wood, brushed steel. Grinder hum, milk steam, one cup set down.

They are the real price of that exact configuration — computed with the same pricing engine the API charges with, at the resolution, duration and audio setting shown on the card. Change any of those in the generator and the price updates with it.

Why it works

This is a five-second beat about being known, so the tell is the barista writing the order before it is spoken. The camera barely moves by design: the intimacy comes from the tight two-shot and the 3:4 frame, which crops out the rest of the room and puts both faces on one vertical axis. Small, specific sounds — grinder, steam wand, cup on wood — build the cafe without a single word of dialogue.

Mode

Most cases are text-to-video and need nothing but the prompt. The ones marked "needs one reference image" are image-to-video: you supply a photo and the prompt keeps that subject or product locked while the camera moves.
