Timestamp Prompts: Narrative Control for AI Video (Runway, Veo, Sora, Kling)

Control specific story moments in your AI videos using timestamped prompts. I'll show you how to write a timestamped prompt and compare how effective they are in text-to-video models, including Runway 4.5, Veo 3.1, Sora 2 Pro, Seedance 1 Pro, and Kling O1 and 2.6. This is a great way to level up your cinematic AI filmmaking but don't expect SMTPE timecode perfection quite yet.
