Neon Blue AI Video Editing Thumbnail
Create a bold Japanese YouTube thumbnail for the theme 初心者でもできる AI×動画編集 (headline text), in a futuristic neon-blue cyberpunk style. Use a wide 16:9 composition with a dark electric-blue background filled with glowing circuit lines, digital streaks, lens flares, and high-energy motion. Place a slanted glowing banner in the upper left containing the Japanese text 初心者でもできる (top banner text), with the first part in bright yellow and the rest in white. Make the main headline dominate the left and center: gigantic white glowing text “AI×” above even larger white glowing text “動画編集”, with thick blue neon outer glow, slight italic forward motion, beveled 3D shading, and dramatic perspective. In the upper right, add a circular holographic interface with the letters AI (ai badge text) in the center, surrounded by concentric rings and tiny HUD marks. Near it, include exactly 3 floating app-style icons: a play button icon, a square “Pr” icon, and an audio waveform icon, all glowing blue. Across the lower right, show a sleek angled video editing monitor displaying a neon city night road scene with a play symbol overlay; beneath the preview, include a timeline with exactly 4 visible tracks: 2 rows of video thumbnails and 2 colored audio bars, one magenta and one cyan-green. Along the bottom, add exactly 3 glowing rounded feature badges with icons and Japanese text: a book icon with “知識ゼロOK”, a clock icon with “時短でカンタン”, and a sparkle icon with “プロ級の仕上がり”. Add a tall solid blue vertical rectangle near the top center-right as a placeholder block. Overall design should feel dynamic, high-contrast, polished, techy, and optimized for maximum click-through as a modern AI and video-editing tutorial thumbnail.3b:T773,Create a bold Japanese YouTube thumbnail for the theme {argument name="headline text" default="初心者でもできる

Cinematic Football Skill and Goal Animation Prompt - Nano Banana Pro AI Prompt for YouTube Thumbnail
Motion prompt: The man begins dribbling the ball forward at speed. The camera switches to a slightly wider tracking shot, following his movement smoothly while introducing light horizontal camera shake from simulated shoulder-mounted broadcast footage. Cristiano Ronaldo closes in aggressively to defend. As Ronaldo steps forward, the man performs rapid footwork—quick step-overs, a sudden body feint, and a sharp lateral cut. At the exact moment he beats Ronaldo, the camera adds a short, intense impact shake to emphasize the skill move, followed by a fast push-in zoom. The crowd volume spikes. Motion blur subtly increases on the legs and ball while the upper body stays sharp. The camera briefly shifts to a low-angle tracking shot, enhancing speed and dominance. He accelerates toward the goal. As he strikes the ball, the camera performs a cinematic whip-pan, followed by a brief slow-motion beat at the moment of contact. A strong vertical camera shake occurs as the ball rockets into the net, simulating crowd eruption and stadium vibration. GOAL MOMENT (7s–8.5s): The net ripples dramatically. Stadium lights flare slightly. Fans jump and wave scarves. The camera transitions into a subtle celebratory shake, as if the operator is reacting emotionally. Ronaldo turns back, smiling with admiration and respect. END FRAME (8.5s–10s): Transition smoothly into the provided final image. Cristiano Ronaldo walks toward the man and hands him his Real Madrid jersey, clearly showing Ronaldo’s name and number 7 on the back. Both are smiling, breathing heavily, sharing a victorious moment. Camera stabilizes gradually, ending with a clean, steady cinematic frame under glowing stadium lights.3f:T6a7,
