Paint drops into clear water in extreme slow motion. Colors bloom and swirl in organic patterns — deep blues mixing with golden yellows. Camera captures the moment from directly above. Studio lighting makes every droplet sparkle.

Abstract motion graphics — liquid metal morphing

Abstract motion graphics of a floating sphere of liquid mercury that continuously morphs between geometric shapes — sphere to cube to tetrahedron to torus and back to sphere. Each transition is smooth and organic, with the reflective surface rippling and stretching. The metallic surface reflects a colorful studio environment with pink and blue gradient lighting visible in the reflections. The object floats in the center of frame against a soft gradient background that shifts from deep purple at the bottom to pale lavender at the top. Slow, hypnotic movement. Perfect loop.

FAQ

Working with Video prompts

What makes a good %{model} prompt?

A useful %{model} prompt names the subject, style, constraints, and output intent clearly. The examples here are short enough to copy, but specific enough for an agent or backend job to preserve the generation goal.

Can I reuse these prompts across models?

Often, yes. Start with a prompt in this modality, then adjust model-specific fields such as aspect ratio, duration, voice settings, or style controls. The detail page shows any saved parameters next to the prompt text.

Where do I find the right model slug?

Every card shows the RunAPI model slug. Open the model page when you want only examples for one model, or follow the model catalog link for pricing and capability details before making a request.

Can agents call these prompts directly?

Yes. After installing the RunAPI MCP Server, paste the agent instruction from a prompt detail page. The page keeps the prompt text, model slug, and endpoint path together so the agent has enough context.
