Difforum prompt pack

A curated set of prompt-travel presets to explore quality and motion. Each one is ready to paste into Difforum - Prompt Schedule (travel) (the prompts box). The frame numbers assume max_frames around 48; scale them to your clip length. Settings under each preset are starting points, not rules.

How to read a preset:

  • Travel goes into the Prompt Schedule node (frame: prompt per line).
  • Camera values go into the Camera node (advanced) fields, or pick the closest Camera Move preset.
  • Strength is the per-frame denoise (Schedule node). Lower = more coherent and smoother, higher = more change per frame.
  • Symmetry refers to the Feedback Sampler's symmetry option.

Quality settings (read this first)

The checkpoint is most of the quality. Base SD1.5 (v1-5-pruned-emaonly) looks flat; use a strong finetune instead. Good drop-in options:

  • SDXL (best detail): Juggernaut XL, RealVisXL. Render at 1024x576 (16:9).
  • SD1.5: DreamShaper 8. Render at 768x432 or 768x768.
  • Flux (top quality, slower): flux1-schnell, 4 to 8 steps, cfg 1.

Sampler that holds detail across the feedback loop:

  • steps 26 to 30, sampler dpmpp_2m, scheduler karras
  • cfg 6 to 7 (SDXL) or 7 to 8 (SD1.5)
  • Append this to the positive prompt: , highly detailed, sharp focus, intricate, cinematic lighting, vivid colors, masterpiece

Negative prompt that works for most of these:

blurry, low quality, watermark, text, jpeg artifacts, deformed, washed out, oversaturated, plain background, low contrast

47: a frozen explosion of liquid metal, sharp reflective shards, dramatic
  • Camera: mode 2d, zoom 0:(1.015), rotation_z 0:(0.3)
  • Strength 0:(0.5), add Echo Trails (decay 0.6, mix 0.4)

4. Sacred Geometry (kaleidoscope)

Built for the in-loop symmetry. Mesmerizing, hypnotic.

0: ornate symmetric mandala, stained glass, iridescent, intricate fractal detail
16: glowing sacred geometry, golden ratio spirals, luminous lines
32: a rotating fractal flower of life, jewel tones, deep detail
47: a radiant cosmic mandala, blooming symmetry, vivid colors
  • Camera: mode 2d, rotation_z 0:(0.7), zoom 0:(1.012)
  • Strength 0:(0.42), Symmetry kaleidoscope, segments 6, Echo Trails on
  • See difforum_mesmerize_kaleidoscope.json

5. Neon City Flythrough

Cyberpunk motion. Strong forward camera sells it.

0: a rain slicked neon street at night, reflections, cyberpunk, cinematic
16: flying between towering skyscrapers, holograms, dense neon signs
32: a futuristic megacity skyline, flying cars, glowing grid
47: orbit above the city at night, city lights from above, atmosphere
  • Camera: mode 3d, translation_z 0:(3), zoom 0:(1.02), rotation_x 0:(0.1)
  • Strength 0:(0.45), cfg 7.0

6. Elemental Shift

Four elements morphing into each other. High contrast, dramatic.

0: a wall of roaring fire, embers, intense orange glow, dramatic
12: crashing ocean waves, deep blue water, foam, spray
24: a frozen ice cavern, blue crystals, glittering frost
36: a swirling storm, lightning, dark clouds, electric
47: pure elemental energy, fire water ice and wind merging, epic

  • Strength 0:(0.5), cfg 7.5

7. Psychedelic Tunnel

The classic Deforum feel, modernized.

32: melting rainbow geometry, liquid light, trippy
47: a vortex of intricate fractal patterns, hypnotic, vibrant
  • Camera: mode 2d, zoom 0:(1.04), rotation_z 0:(0.6)
  • Strength 0:(0.5), optional Symmetry kaleidoscope segments 8

8. Underwater Abyss

32: an ancient sunken temple, glowing runes, drifting particles
47: a colossal bioluminescent leviathan in the abyss, awe, atmosphere
  • Camera: mode 3d, translation_z 0:(1.5), translation_y 0:(-0.5), zoom 0:(1.01)
  • Strength 0:(0.4), cfg 7.0

9. Audio-reactive Pulse (music video)

Drive zoom and strength from the audio. Connect Audio Analyzer to the schedules.

32: explosive bursts of color, fractal bloom, dynamic
47: a vortex of sound made visible, vibrant, kinetic
  • Zoom schedule: 0:(1.0 + 0.6*low) (bass pumps the zoom)
  • Strength schedule: 0:(0.35 + 0.4*beat) (beats add change)
  • cfg 7.0, see difforum_audio_reactive_video.json

10. Dreamscape Morph

Surreal, painterly, slow drift. Great for an ambient loop.

  • Strength 0:(0.38), cfg 7.5, color_mode lab

Quick recipe tips

  • Smoother motion: lower strength (0.35 to 0.45) and keep color_mode = lab.
  • More change per beat / scene: raise strength toward 0.55, or shorten the gaps between prompt keyframes.
  • Mesmerizing loops: turn on Feedback Sampler symmetry and add Echo Trails.
  • Seamless loop: match the last prompt back toward the first, and ping-pong the frames on export.
  • Higher quality: swap the SD1.5 checkpoint for SDXL or Flux. The sampler is model-agnostic, the prompts above carry over.
