The story, in four moments

Assign image 1 and image 2 explicit roles. Specify the four beats with approximate timing, a cold-to-warm palette, unchanged outfits and a shared embrace pose at the cut. Keep extra people, text, attacks and graphic injury out of the prompt.

My pet

For a pet version, retain the animal’s species, markings and relative size. Have the owner kneel while the pet approaches. Avoid human arms, jumping acrobatics and several actions at once. A simple gentle embrace is easier to review.

The memory

Try a rainy cabin changing into a sunset meadow, a deserted street changing into a beach memory, or a quiet winter doorway changing into a warm garden. These are creative prompt ideas, not additional tested generator scenes. The built-in preset uses a cabin and meadow.

Where these prompts can be used

The English examples below are the actual silent loved-one and pet recipes used by the tool. They are free to copy into a video editor that supports two reference images. They are not a text box inside ZNIX: its generator applies the selected recipe automatically. Another model may interpret timing, identities and scene transitions differently, so confirm its image support and charges first.

Adapt one element at a time

In an external editor, keep image 1 as the survivor and image 2 as the zombie. Start with the original recipe, then change only the memory location or color palette. Retain the same clothes and embrace pose to connect the scenes. Do not add several people, multiple locations and complex movement in a single revision. Changing prompt text does not guarantee identity consistency.

Silent prompt versus generated sound

Both copied prompts request the silent version. In ZNIX, original generated sound is a separate available configuration. An external model may have its own audio switch; check it independently of the text. These prompts do not supply a licensed song or a specific dialogue track. Add a song from your publishing app when its available permissions fit your intended use.

Loved one

Create an original 15-second cinematic zombie love story using both reference images. Image 1 is the adult human survivor: healthy natural skin and normal eyes throughout; preserve their face, hair and clothing. Image 2 is the adult loved one, unmistakably an undead zombie from the first shot: both eyes are opaque milky-white with no visible iris or pupil; deep charcoal-purple eye sockets; desaturated ash-gray skin; pronounced dark branching veins on the forehead, temples and neck; dry cracked surface texture; hollow cheeks and pronounced cheekbones; dark lips and slightly parted lips revealing aged discolored teeth. These are visible horror makeup details, not just a cold lighting effect. Preserve the underlying facial identity, hair and clothing while allowing strong zombie makeup. No exposed flesh or open wounds. Keep the two identities separate. Only the character from Image 2 is a zombie. Four ordered story beats: 0-4s, inside a cold blue-gray abandoned cabin, open with a clear close-up of the zombie face so the milky eyes, dark sockets and undead textures are easy to see; then establish the survivor recognizing their loved one approaching. 4-7s, show the healthy survivor's tearful hesitation; the survivor lowers an unfired prop handgun to the floor and opens their arms. 7-11s, the loved one approaches slowly and they embrace gently; keep the zombie eyes, dark sockets and gray textured skin fully visible throughout the cabin and embrace, without healing early. No attack or bite. 11-15s, hard match cut on the same embrace pose to a warm golden meadow at sunset: both are now healthy, happy and alive. Only at this cut remove all zombie makeup, dark veins and cloudy eyes; restore natural skin and normal eyes. Hold the warm memory long enough to read. Maintain identity, relative size, outfits and screen positions across shots. Strong visual contrast between unmistakably undead Image 2 in the cabin and healthy Image 2 in the meadow. Avoid a merely pale, tired or sad normal person; do not apply zombie makeup to the survivor. Natural hands and limbs, no extra characters, no text, logos or watermark. No blood, gore, open wounds, gunfire or aggressive violence. Generate a silent video with no music, speech or sound effects.

My pet

Create an original 15-second cinematic zombie love story using both reference images. Image 1 is the adult human survivor: healthy natural skin and normal eyes throughout; preserve their face, hair and clothing. Image 2 is the beloved pet, visibly undead from the first shot: opaque milky-white eyes with no visible iris, deep dark shading around the eyes, dusty matted fur retaining its original markings, and cold gray discoloration on the exposed muzzle and nose. Preserve its species, size, collar and natural animal anatomy; never turn it into a human. Use dry superficial skin texture, not injury. The owner kneels to embrace the pet. Keep the two identities separate. Only the character from Image 2 is a zombie. Four ordered story beats: 0-4s, inside a cold blue-gray abandoned cabin, open with a clear close-up of the zombie face so the milky eyes, dark sockets and undead textures are easy to see; then establish the survivor recognizing their loved one approaching. 4-7s, show the healthy survivor's tearful hesitation; the survivor lowers an unfired prop handgun to the floor and opens their arms. 7-11s, the loved one approaches slowly and they embrace gently; keep the zombie eyes, dark sockets and gray textured skin fully visible throughout the cabin and embrace, without healing early.

The guides and prompts are free. Video generation requires sign-in and a paid attempt or enough platform credits.

Start with one attempt to explore the preset. Three or six attempts let you try different photos or casts. Each attempt creates one video at the selected quality; larger packs do not improve face accuracy.
