Required Input: A high-resolution source image file (JPG or PNG).
Customize: You can modify the subject’s action, the specific camera movement (e.g., pan, zoom, dolly), and the environmental lighting conditions to match your specific narrative needs.
Prompt Variations
Variation 1 (Action-Oriented): Focus on high-energy cinematic motion. The camera performs a rapid tracking shot following the subject, incorporating dynamic motion blur, fast-paced action sequences, and high-intensity lighting shifts. Optimize for 16:9 aspect ratio for theatrical trailers.
Variation 2 (Luxury Editorial): Emphasize elegance and slow-motion grace. Soft, diffused studio lighting with a focus on high-fashion textures and subtle, delicate movements. The camera performs a slow, sweeping pan around the subject. Ideal for high-end product or fashion commercials.
Variation 3 (Noir/Dark Cinematic): Focus on high-contrast, moody lighting with deep shadows and neon highlights. The camera is handheld, providing a raw, gritty, documentary-style movement. Focus on atmosphere, rain effects, and high-detail reflections.
Variation 4 (Macro/Detail Focused): Extreme close-up shot with shallow depth of field. Focus on skin textures, fabric weave, or metallic surfaces. The camera performs a micro-dolly movement, revealing intricate details. Perfect for product showcases or artistic character studies.
Variation 5 (Fantasy/Ethereal): Incorporate magical atmosphere, glowing particles, and dreamlike lighting. The camera uses a steady, floating movement. Focus on fluid, soft motion and vibrant, surreal color palettes that enhance the fantasy narrative.

Expert Usage Tips
1. Use a higher “Motion Strength” setting if your subject is performing complex actions to ensure the AI captures the movement accurately.
2. If the character identity begins to drift, re-upload the original reference image as an “Image Prompt” alongside the text instructions.
3. To achieve the best cinematic look, ensure your source image has a clear separation between the subject and the background.
4. Use the “Negative Prompt” field provided to strip away common AI generation artifacts like jitter or morphing.
5. Experiment with different camera movement keywords like “dolly zoom” or “orbital pan” to change the narrative feel of the video.
