Runway recommends positive phrasing only ("stable camera", not "no shake"), so the avoid list is left out.

Set clip length and aspect ratio in your tool's settings.

One action per clip. Chain several short clips for longer scenes.
Name the camera move. It's the biggest difference between flat and cinematic results.
With a start frame, describe only the motion; repeating what's in the image can reduce movement.
Describe what you want, not what you don't: "stable camera" beats "no shake".
Test at 5 seconds and lower resolution before paying for long or 4K clips.
