The prompt

I'm new to AI video. Walk me through making my first short video, step by step, and write the prompts for me. My idea: [e.g. a 20-second video about my home-made pickle brand / a short story about a lost kite] Tools I have: [e.g. free Kling / Gemini / CapCut / none yet] Where it will go: [Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts / WhatsApp status] Give me: 1. A 4-6 shot plan with the duration of each shot, adding up to my length. 2. For each shot: one still-image prompt (to make a consistent first frame) and one image-to-video prompt (one action, one camera move, sound). 3. How to keep the same character or product across shots (reference image, same description words). 4. Editing steps in a free editor: order, trims, music, captions, export settings for my platform. 5. The 5 most common beginner mistakes and how to avoid them. Keep the language simple. Don't promise features a tool may not have; tell me to check.
