About this tool

AI video models respond well to the language film crews use. Naming the exact move, its speed and its purpose gives you more predictable shots than saying the camera should look cool. Pick a movement and this tool writes it as a clear camera instruction you can drop into any prompt.

How to use it

  1. Optionally add a subject so the prompt is ready to use on its own.
  2. Choose a camera movement and how fast it should happen.
  3. Select duration, aspect ratio and platform.
  4. Generate and paste the camera line into your main prompt, or use it alone.

Tips for better results

  • Match speed to emotion: slow for drama and beauty, fast for action and energy.
  • A dolly moves through space and creates parallax. A zoom only changes the lens, so the perspective stays flat.
  • Use Orbit for products and characters, Drone Shot for landscapes and Tracking Shot for people in motion.
  • Every result lists what the move is best for and a lighting style that pairs well with it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a zoom and a dolly?

A zoom changes the focal length and flattens depth. A dolly physically moves the camera forward or back, so objects at different distances shift against each other.

How long should a camera move last in AI video?

Most clips are 3 to 10 seconds. One continuous move per clip is more reliable than several moves in a row.

What is an FPV shot?

A first-person drone-style shot that moves fast and fluidly through an environment. It is popular for reveals and action.

Can I combine two camera moves?

You can try, for example a slow push-in with a slight tilt up, but simple single moves are more consistent.
