Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the “motion” slider or parameter to 6-8 to achieve the most natural handheld gait and rhythmic camera movement.
Incorporate specific time-of-day keywords like “golden hour,” “blue hour,” or “high noon” to drastically alter the lighting and atmosphere of the city environment.
Specify the city or architectural style—e.g., “Gothic European,” “Brutalist Tokyo,” or “Art Deco Miami”—to refine the background textures and overall aesthetic.
Use “shallow depth of field” for portrait-style vlogging or “deep focus” if you want to emphasize the scale and architecture of the cityscape.
If the AI produces too much camera shake, add “gimbal stabilization” to the prompt to get smoother, more professional-looking cinematic pans.
