How the camera motion picker works
Pick your subject and what you want the shot to achieve. The tool ranks 11 common camera moves using everyday filmmaking logic — for example, orbits suit products, pull-outs suit reveals and crash zooms suit hooks — and gives you a ready-to-use prompt snippet plus a warning about what can go wrong.
Why camera movement matters
Camera movement tells the audience how to feel. A slow push-in builds intimacy; a pull-out reveals scale; a fast FPV move adds adrenaline. Choosing the move deliberately is the fastest way to make AI clips look cinematic instead of random.

Tips
- Use one camera move per clip, then combine clips in your editor.
- Match your first frame to the move — wide images for aerial shots, clear subjects for orbits.
- Generate two or three variations; motion is where AI is least predictable.
