Article Highlights

- Avoid negative phrasing, such as the camera doesn't move, in your text prompts - Use a simple and direct prompt that describes the desired movement when using an input image - You do not need to describe your input image in a text prompt

Style Descriptors

Style descriptors indicate broad or general motion elements.

In example, you might use a style descriptor to convey motion speed, general movement style (live action, smooth animation, stop motion), or aesthetic style. Style descriptors can be appended to prompts while refining results or included within...

Camera Motion

Camera motion describes how the camera should move through the scene in your input image.

Camera motion can be prompted for movement style (locked, handheld, dolly, pan, and more), tracking subjects or moving independently through environments, shifts in focus, and more. For examples of filmic motion terms, our Creating with Camera...

Scene Motion

Scene motion describes how the environment of a video should behave or react to motion. Scene motion may be based on subject motion or occur independently.

There are two different approaches for prompting for scene motion: - Insinuated motion: "The subject runs across the dusty desert" - Described motion: "The subject runs across the desert. Dust trails behind them as they move" Insinuating motion...

Subject Motion

Subject motion describes how characters or objects should behave or move. Subject motion may include physical movement, expressions, gestures, and more.

When describing subject motion, refer to characters or objects with general terms like "the subject" or simple pronouns. For example: "The subject turns slowly" or "She raises her hand." This helps the model focus on creating smooth motion rather...
