The recipe card

The four ingredients

We measured the original frame by frame instead of guessing: every number below comes from the video itself or its channel.

One template

Big fruit on the left, a baby made of that fruit on the right, the same setting and light in every clip. Only the fruit changes.

Colourful theme

The colour changes every 8 seconds: red, yellow, blue, pink, green. A one-colour theme looks like the same clip again and again.

One small action

Look, one satisfying action that fits this fruit (a bite, a squeeze, a peel, a sour face), then a giggle.

8 s, back to back

No editing, no music, no captions: the clips joined in order. Then make the next version.

The sample we made

Fruit Babies & Big Fruit

14 fruits the original never used + a closing shot, 15 clips, 2:00, no words. Made with AI.

Step by step

From topic to finished video

  1. Write the prompts

    Paste file 1 into any AI chat with your theme and setting. Ask for the first clips, then "continue" until you have the list and a title.

  2. Make the first frames

    Paste every IMAGE prompt at once. Check each picture: big fruit left, one baby right, the baby clearly made of the fruit. Save each under its tag.

  3. Set up the clips

    Video from ingredients (Omni), 720p, 5 at a time, no delay. Duration by tag in the prompt, and the folder of first frames.

  4. Pilot, then batch

    Run 3 clips first, fix the prompts, then paste the rest at once. Check every clip; fix a bad row in the table.

  5. Join

    Clips back to back in your order, keep the clip sound, no music, no captions. 12-18 clips is 1:30 to 2:30.

  6. Make it again

    Same template, a new theme or a new order. The original channel has 105 versions; one went to 72M.

Baby + big food prompt writer

The template, the colour rule, one IMAGE prompt (first frame) and one VIDEO prompt per clip, with the rules that keep the baby and the fruit in place.

# System Prompt: "Baby + Big Version" ASMR clips (Nice or Cute? style)
Paste this into any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini). Then give it: the theme (fruit, bread, vegetables,
desserts...), how many clips (12-18), and your setting (or ask it to invent one). It returns one image prompt and one
video prompt per clip: the image is the first frame, the video brings it to life for 8 seconds.
---
You write prompts for short, wordless "oddly satisfying" ASMR videos. Every clip shows ONE big real food item and,
sitting next to it, a tiny cute baby figure made entirely OF that same food. The baby does one small, satisfying
thing with the big food (a bite, a peel, a squish, a lick), then reacts with joy. No story between clips: the video
is 12-18 of these 8-second clips joined back to back, no editing.
## The template (keep everything the same except the food)
- PICK A COLOURFUL THEME: the order of clips should jump between colours (red, yellow, blue, pink, green, purple...).
  A one-colour theme (all breads: beige and brown) looks like the same clip twelve times.
- SETTING: one setting for the whole video, described the same way in every prompt (surface, background, light).
- FRAME: the big food on the LEFT, the baby sitting on the RIGHT, about half its height. Only these two things.
- THE BABY: chubby, big shiny eyes, rosy cheeks, its WHOLE body made of the food's real texture (skin, crust, seeds,
  glaze, flakes). Name the texture in detail: that is what makes it "cute or nice?".
- THE ACTION (one per clip, 8 seconds): look -> one small satisfying action that fits THIS food -> a happy reaction.
  Give every food its own action: peel a layer, bite a crunchy edge, pull a stretchy strip, squish and watch it spring
  back, pick out a seed or a berry, lick a drip. Never the same action twice in a row.
- SOUND: one line per clip with the sounds of THAT action (a crisp crack, a juicy pop, a soft squish, crumbs pattering)
  and the baby's voice sounds (a giggle, a coo, "mmm"). Always: "soft, close ASMR sounds; NO words; no music".
## Output, for each clip, two lines
1. IMAGE (first frame, for an image model): `<look and light>. <setting>. On the <surface> in the middle of the
   frame: <big food> on the LEFT, and on the RIGHT, sitting next to it, <the baby made of that food, its texture in
   detail>. Only these two things in the picture. The baby is about half the height of the <food>. 16:9, no text.`
   Give each image a short tag to use as its file name: `bb` + the food in one word (bbcroissant, bbdonut). No tag may
   be part of another tag.
2. VIDEO (for a video model that takes the image as a reference or a first frame): `[8s] Cute food ASMR film. Start
   exactly from @<tag>: the same food, the same baby, the same setting and light. Only what is in the picture, nothing
   new appears and nothing disappears: the big food stays in the same place for the whole clip, only a bite may be missing; the baby stays sitting, stays made of <food> from head to toe, and does not grow or change. CAMERA: locked-off medium close shot, one
   continuous shot, no cuts. <the action>. SOUND: <this clip's sounds>. Soft, close, satisfying ASMR sounds; the baby
   only giggles or coos, NO words; no music. <style sentence>`
Optional: one opening clip (the empty setting, a little steam or light) and one closing clip (several babies
together, no big food) - give the closing clip its OWN first frame with every baby described: words alone gave food, not babies.
## Rules
- Real food only, no brands, no characters from existing films.
- Cute and gentle: no knives, no crying, nothing scary.
- If the user asks for part of the list ("the first 6"), stop there; "continue" gives the next ones in the same format.
## Output
1. SETTING sentence and STYLE sentence (repeat both word for word in every prompt).
2. The clips, numbered: TAG, IMAGE, VIDEO.
3. TITLE: "Nice or Cute? AI <theme> Babies & Big <theme>" style, plus 3 alternatives.

First frames, clips and the join

How to make and check the first frames, the clip settings, the no-edit join, and every problem we hit with its fix.

# First frames, 8-second clips and the join (baby + big food ASMR)
## 1. First frames (one image per clip)
Use the IMAGE lines from file 1 in any image model (16:9). Keep the setting and look sentences word for word in every
image, so all the frames look like one set. Save each image under its tag: `bbcroissant.jpg`, `bbdonut.jpg`...
Check every image before you spend video credits: the big food on the left, ONE baby on the right, the baby clearly
made of the food (crust, glaze, seeds), nothing else on the surface.
For a closing clip with several babies, make its own first frame (`bbtray.jpg`) with every baby described: a closing
clip described only in words came back as five breads, not five babies.
## 2. Clips (8 seconds each)
- A video model that takes the image as a reference ("ingredients", Omni) or as a first frame. Put all the images in
  one folder and point the tool to it; each `@tag` in a prompt pulls in its image.
- Duration tag `[8s]` in every prompt (6 s for an opening shot without babies).
- Run 5 at a time with no delay between rows if your accounts allow it; the clips do not depend on each other.
- Watch every clip: the baby must stay one baby, stay sitting, and the action must be the one you asked for.
## 3. Join
No editing: put the clips back to back in your order, hard cuts every 8 seconds, keep the clip sound, no music, no
captions. 12-18 clips = 1:30 to 2:30. Name the video like the series and make many versions: the original channel
has 105 videos with almost the same title; most get about 22K views and one got 72M.
## 4. Problems we hit making the sample (and the fix)
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| First version with breads: every clip beige and brown, "looks like the same clip twelve times" | Back to fruit, only fruits the original did not use, ordered so the colour changes every clip, on a bright marble counter |
| The closing clip ("five babies on a tray", words only) came back as five breads with no faces | Its own first frame with every baby described, then the clip starts from it |
| The big watermelon slice vanished in the last 2 seconds | "Nothing disappears: the big fruit stays in the same place for the whole clip, only a bite may be missing" |
| The cherry baby turned into a human baby face at the end | "glossy dark red cherry from head to toe for the whole clip", and a simpler action (one bite) |
Before you publish

Three mistakes that kill these videos

Mistake 1

One colour

All breads looked like one clip twelve times. Pick things that look different from each other.

Mistake 2

The same action

Give every fruit its own moment: a peel, a squeeze, a sour face.

Mistake 3

The baby changes

Name the fruit and its skin from head to toe, and say that nothing disappears.

What I used

Any tool works: Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini for the prompts; any image model for the first frames; any video model that starts from a picture; CapCut or any editor for the join.
