Paste-ready Veo prompt for the Banana Tree Run trend
Updated:
Short answer
Open Veo, load your photo as the reference image and paste the text below. It sets the side-on sprint, the big leaps and a final stretch at full speed, over an upbeat backing with no voices. Several attempts are normal, and Tip Toe AI does the same job without any prompt.

The prompt
Image-to-video, vertical 9:16, one unbroken side-on tracking shot. If the tool limits the length, keep the beats in order and shorten each. A single side-on tracking shot of the RUNNER from reference image 1 (an adult or a pet; keep face, hair or fur, skin tone, build and clothes exactly as pictured, and let a pet bound on four legs) sprinting along the very tops of banana leaves. The setting is a green hillside plantation on an overcast day, with tall plants in rows and a red-earth path winding down the slope. No readable text anywhere. The camera moves left to right at the same speed as the RUNNER, level with the body, keeping the whole figure in the middle of the frame. The leaves carry the weight and barely bend, as if the RUNNER were a light-footed martial-arts hero. Over the clip the RUNNER sprints, then makes a big leap with legs spread wide and lands softly on a leaf tip. A high flying stride with the front knee up follows, then a long jump over a gap with the path far below, and finally more sprinting and leaping at top speed without falling. Sound: an upbeat bouncy instrumental with wind and leaves, no singing, no lyrics, nothing spoken. Photorealistic, natural colour, with no captions, no logos, no watermark.
Using it well
- Load your photo as reference image 1; choose an adult or a pet, never a child.
- The trending sound goes on afterwards in TikTok. Text cannot place every beat exactly, so plan to slide the sound slightly.
- No names, sound titles or brands in the text. Some tools filter them, so the text describes the action.
- Veo may cap clips below 11 seconds, so keep the beats in order and make each one quicker.
Questions people ask
Does the text name a song or a creator?
Neither. It asks for an instrumental track and nothing else, and you add the trending sound inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.
Will Veo reproduce the trend exactly?
Seldom exactly. Faces, motion and timing depend on the tool, its current model and the photo, so use this as a starting draft.
Is there a prompt box on this site?
No. Tip Toe AI uses a fixed Banana Tree Run scene: you give it a photo, pick the options and press make.
