Prompt optimization and generator post-training are two complementary ways to improve text-to-video (T2V) generation, and recent systems increasingly train both modules jointly. However, optimizing a prompt policy and a video generator from the same terminal reward creates two ambiguities: prompt quality is confounded with stochastic generation, and the two modules may realize overlapping local improvements. We introduce FlowCred, a two-level framework for joint T2V post-training. First, hierarchical credit assignment uses matched prompt-seed rollout grids to separate prompt-level credit from prompt-conditioned generator residuals under shared randomness. Second, functional coordination probes alternative current-policy prompts at states from actual generation trajectories, providing generator-aware evidence for prompt optimization while selectively attenuating generator updates already supported by conditioning changes. Across multiple T2V benchmarks, FlowCred consistently improves matched joint-training baselines. On LTX-2.5, FlowCred improves a strictly matched joint-training control from 61.47 to 64.46 on T2V-CompBench and from 55.58 to 58.08 on StoryEval, without increasing decoded-video or reward-model-call budgets. Factorial and realized-update analyses show complementary contributions from prompt shaping and generator routing, while human evaluation and transfer across backbones and updater families provide further supporting evidence.
