Prompt Safety Guide

Why prompts get blocked

Commercial video models do not only inspect the words you typed. They also assess the likely output. A prompt can look harmless and still be rejected if the model predicts spoken dialogue, sensitive audio, real-person likeness, or ambiguous brand/IP output.

What to avoid by default

Rewrite patterns that work

The safest production strategy is to keep prompts literal, commercial, and visual-first.

Pattern 1: remove dialogue

Instead of:
"A founder speaks directly to camera about why this software is better"

Rewrite to:
"A silent visual-only enterprise promo, elegant office environment, dashboard screens, subtle dolly camera, no people speaking, no readable text"

Pattern 2: remove real people

Instead of:
"A creator like [real person] records a tutorial at a desk"

Rewrite to:
"A premium creator workspace sequence, camera gear close-up, keyboard glow, microphone on clean desk, soft daylight, no people, no speech"

Pattern 3: remove direct brand/IP references

Instead of:
"A luxury ad for Brand X with their exact bottle"

Rewrite to:
"A premium skincare product showcase, single hero bottle on polished stone pedestal, soft mist, luxury studio lighting, realistic packaging materials, no logos"

Build fallback logic into the product

Do not assume every first-pass prompt will clear moderation. Production systems need graceful degradation.

For high-volume use, maintain a prompt library with pre-approved product, enterprise, creator, and abstract workflow templates.

What to tell your users

You should disclose that the model has safety review, but present it as a commercial boundary, not a platform defect.

That sets the right expectation while still sounding like production infrastructure, not consumer-grade unpredictability.

Examples

Safe enterprise example

{
  "prompt": "A premium enterprise technology promo with no people and no speech, elegant control room environment with large analytics displays showing abstract video workflow activity, polished commercial frames animating across clean monitors, subtle dolly camera movement, restrained deep blue and neutral palette, no readable text, no logos, silent visual-only scene",
  "negative_prompt": "people, faces, hands, speech, captions, readable text, clutter, cyberpunk, low realism"
}

Safe creator example

{
  "prompt": "A premium vertical social video with no people and no speech, camera lens close-up, microphone on a clean desk, editing keyboard glow, soft daylight mixed with warm practical lights, subtle handheld-style push-ins, polished b-roll aesthetic for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok, no readable text, silent visual-only sequence",
  "negative_prompt": "people, faces, hands, speech, captions, logos, messy room, distorted gear, low realism"
