What you will get

A vertical top-down recipe video of your dish with hands chopping, tossing ingredients in a pan, a simmering sauce, garnish, a final plating and a spoon lift, with quick timelapse cuts in warm light.

Why it works

Recipe videos move fast, so the prompt shows each step from above with quick cuts. A final spoon lift gives a tasty ending. Vertical 9:16 fits phones, and keeping it to about fifteen seconds with captions, as the tip says, holds attention.

Common mistake

Hands show extra fingers, or knives behave oddly.

Fix: Keep one action per shot and say “a single pair of hands, a knife cutting slowly on a board”. Show only the hands, never the face.

Also watch for

The steps do not match your real recipe. Write the steps in order in the prompt and put the recipe in captions, as the tip says. The video sets the mood, it does not teach the steps.
The dish looks different in the pan and on the plate. Describe the finished dish once and say “the food in the pan and on the plate is the same dish”.

Try a variation: three-step snack

Choose a simple dish such as “masala omelette” and ask for “only three steps: whisk, pour, fold”. A shorter recipe fits in about 15 seconds.
