Camera Movement adds a cinematic camera move — like a pan, zoom, tilt, or arc — to your video. In the live app it isn't a standalone tool; instead it's a per-shot setting inside the video modes.

Heads-up: Camera Movement is not a standalone mode in the live app. It's marked as an unsupported generation type, so it doesn't appear in the workstation's mode rail and you can't open it as its own tool. Instead, you apply a camera movement directly inside Text to Video or Image to Video: each shot lets you choose one camera movement. The description below covers how that per-shot picker works.

It applies a single camera motion to a shot. Inside a video mode, each shot can carry one camera movement, and the model renders that shot with the chosen camera behavior.

In a video mode that supports it (Text to Video or Image to Video), open the Camera movement control in the left sidebar (the "+ Camera movement" button) for the shot you're editing, then pick a movement type. (Extend Video has camera movement turned off in the current build, so it doesn't offer this control.) The hint inside those modes spells out the rule: "Each shot allows one camera movement selection, while art style is set once globally in the first shot only." In multi-shot videos, click into the shot you want first, then choose its camera movement.

The selection list is loaded dynamically, so the exact set of moves can vary, but it typically includes options such as Tilt Up, Tilt Down, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Translate Up, Translate Down, Arc Left, and Arc Right. Hovering an option shows its name (there's no looping "Effect preview" video in this per-shot picker).

If the list can't load, you'll see "No camera movement options are available yet. Please check back soon."

Camera movement isn't billed on its own — it's part of the shot you're generating. Because it lives inside the video modes, the cost is the per-second video rate shown next to Generate in that mode, which depends on your plan and the quality you choose. See Credits & billing.

On mobile, camera movement works the same way: it's a per-shot setting inside the video modes rather than a tool of its own. Open a video mode, focus the shot you want, and pick a camera movement from its controls.
