Movement description
The camera holds perfectly still, letting the scene move within the frame.
The generated prompt is written in fluent English for the best model results.

Frequently asked questions
How do I generate camera movement prompts for AI video?+
Choose a movement such as dolly, pan, orbit, crane, handheld, POV, or drone, add the subject and scene, generate the wording, and copy it into your AI video prompt.
Can I get movements in Chinese?+
The plain-language preview per movement is in English because that is what the models parse best; your subject and scene can be in any language.
Does duration affect the prompt?+
Duration is passed as pacing context only - the generator avoids inventing timecodes that models ignore.
Which movements do AI video models follow best?+
Simple, single movements (dolly in, pan left, orbit) are followed most reliably; complex combined moves are better split into separate generations.
