Choose the approved first frame: start from the storyboard image that already has the right subject and references.
AI camera planning
AI Camera Planning: direct motion before generation.
AI camera planning turns a still storyboard frame into a motion plan. Define whether the scene should push in, hold steady, track a character, reveal a prop, or stay quiet before you generate the video clip.

What is AI camera planning?
AI camera planning is the step where you decide how a generated scene should move. It translates story intent into camera behavior: push-in, pull-back, pan, track, hold, orbit, rack focus, or a deliberately static frame.
That makes it different from an AI shot list. The shot list decides which coverage exists. AI camera planning decides how a selected shot should behave once it becomes video.
It also differs from an AI storyboard. The storyboard gives you the frame and reference context. Camera planning adds motion discipline so generated clips do not drift, over-move, or distract from the scene's purpose.
A-cam: push-in establish
B-cam: locked insert
C-cam: dialogue hold
AI camera planning workflow: frame, motion, restraint
Plan camera behavior alongside the storyboard image. The goal is not more motion; it is motion that helps the viewer read the scene.
02
Name one camera idea: push in, hold, pan, track, reveal, or stay locked.
03
Match movement to scene energy: dialogue can hold still, reveals can push, inserts can stay controlled.
04
Review the generated clip: adjust only the scenes where motion distracts from the beat.
Motion plan
AI camera planning turns shots into directed motion.
Camera notes should be specific enough for generation and restrained enough for story. Each scene gets one primary movement idea, a subject priority, and a clear reason to stay still when stillness is stronger.
Plan 01
Establishing push
Slow push-in
Keep the fog and dock readable
Plan 02
Prop insert
Locked close frame
Do not move off @Ticket
Plan 03
Dialogue hold
Steady two-shot
Prioritize @Mara and @Ellis over scenery
Plan 04
Reaction hold
Subtle drift only
Let @Mara's expression carry the beat
What AI camera planning prevents
Camera planning keeps video clips from feeling like unrelated motion tests. Each movement has a reason tied to the scene.
01
The establishing shot can use a slow push into @Ferry_Dock instead of random lateral drift.
02
The @Ticket insert can stay locked so the prop remains readable.
03
The @Mara and @Ellis two-shot can favor steady dialogue coverage over scenery movement.
04
The reaction shot can hold long enough for @Mara's expression to land.
AI Camera Planning FAQ
AI camera planning controls the intended motion for a generated clip: camera direction, subject movement, pacing, framing behavior, and when the shot should stay still.
An AI shot list decides which shots the scene needs. AI camera planning decides how those approved shots should move once they become video clips.
