What makes a good food close-ups prompt

Food prompts love texture and heat. Describe the dish, the sensory detail and one motion, with warm light and a close lens.

Prompts to copy and change

  • Melted cheese being pulled from a hot slice of pizza, steam rising, close-up, warm light
  • Honey dripping onto a stack of pancakes with berries, slow motion
  • A chef tossing vegetables in a hot pan with flames flaring, kitchen lights, close-up
  • Fresh bread being sliced on a wooden board, crumbs falling, soft window light
  • Chocolate sauce poured over a scoop of ice cream, macro, slow motion
  • A bowl of ramen with steam and chopsticks lifting noodles, warm light

Add a voiceover to your food close-ups video

Switch Sound to Voiceover and paste a script. Each example below shows what it would cost.

  • "Hot, fresh and made to order. Come hungry." That script is 8 words, so the video falls in the "Up to 5 seconds" length and costs 1 credit in Full HD or 2 credits in 4K.
  • "Every dish starts with simple ingredients and a lot of care. Taste the difference at our table tonight." That script is 18 words, so the video falls in the "6–10 seconds" length and costs 2 credits in Full HD or 4 credits in 4K.

Tips

  • Say steam, sizzle or drip to add motion
  • Close-up and macro keep texture sharp
  • Fun or Social music suits food
