Why it happens
- The prompt says “cinematic camera” or “dynamic shot” with no concrete direction.
- Several moves are requested at once, such as push-in plus orbit plus crane.
- The first-frame composition leaves no room for the move, so the model improvises.
How to fix it
Write one main camera move per clip, with a clear start, direction and end.
Replace “cinematic camera” with something concrete like “slow push-in from medium shot to chest-up close-up”.
Lock the camera when the character moves a lot; keep the character still when the camera moves a lot.
Compose the first frame with room for the move, e.g. leave space on the right for a pan right.
Before and after
Fails
Dynamic camera, orbiting and zooming, maximum cinematic feel.
Works
Camera slowly pushes in from a medium shot to a chest-up close-up, no pan or rotation, ending on her eyes.
Prevent it next time：Fill in exactly one camera move per shot on the shot list and copy it into the prompt.
