Drone pull back
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 26B Drone/Crane drone pull back. Movement: fly smoothly backward away from the subject or destination. Speed: controlled aerial retreat. Framing: keep the subject readable as more landscape appears. End: finish on a wider aerial composition.
Crane down
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 25B Drone/Crane crane down. Movement: travel smoothly downward through open space. Speed: slow controlled vertical descent. Framing: keep the subject or location readable as the camera descends. End: finish with the lower subject or destination clearly visible.
Side tracking
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 19 Dolly/Track side tracking shot. Movement: move parallel beside the subject along their direction of travel. Speed: match the subject's motion. Framing: keep the subject in side profile or three-quarter profile at a stable distance. End: continue the parallel movement with clear horizontal motion.
Pedestal up
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 11A Physical Moves pedestal up. Movement: move the entire camera vertically upward in a straight line. Speed: smooth constant lift. Framing: keep the lens level and pointed in the same direction during the vertical move. End: finish with the higher framing clearly readable.
Dolly out
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 09 Dolly/Track dolly out. Movement: move the camera physically backward in a straight line away from the main subject. Speed: smooth controlled retreat. Framing: keep lens direction and camera height consistent while more environment enters frame. End: finish in a wider composition.
Whip pan right
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 03 Pan/Tilt whip pan right. Movement: rotate rapidly from the starting direction toward a new target on the right. Speed: fast snap with brief motion blur during the rotation. Framing: begin on one readable composition and land on a second readable target. End: settle into a sharp final frame.
Pan left
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 02B Pan/Tilt pan left. Movement: rotate the camera horizontally from right to left from one fixed point. Speed: smooth constant rotation. Framing: keep the horizon level while new space enters from the left side of the frame. End: settle on a clear final composition.
Pass-through objects
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot S6 Specials pass-through movement. Movement: move forward toward a visible object, surface or barrier and continue into the space beyond. Speed: smooth centered glide. Framing: keep the opening or surface centered as the transition point. End: arrive inside the revealed space beyond.
Tilt-shift
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot S2 Specials tilt-shift miniature view. Movement: hold or glide from a high angled view over the scene. Speed: small precise movement. Framing: keep a narrow band of sharp focus across the key subject area with soft blur above and below. End: finish with the miniature-scale view intact.
First-person view
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot S1 Specials first-person view. Movement: move forward at human eye height from the character's perspective. Speed: natural walking or reaching pace. Framing: use visible hands, arms or body edges as the viewer's physical reference. End: arrive at the next point of action from the same point of view.
Helicopter shot
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 27 Drone/Crane helicopter-style aerial shot. Movement: move from high altitude along a broad gradual flight path. Speed: steady controlled aerial motion. Framing: keep the landscape or distant moving subject readable at wide scale. End: finish on a stable high-altitude composition.
Drone push in
Seedance 2.0· Video
Shot 26 Drone/Crane drone push in. Movement: fly smoothly forward through open space toward the subject or destination. Speed: controlled aerial glide. Framing: keep the route and destination readable as the camera approaches. End: arrive at a closer aerial composition.
What Are Camera Movement AI Prompts?
Prompts that specify camera moves - dolly, pan, tracking, orbit, crane, FPV - to give video rhythm and immersion. Directing intentional camera work instead of a static frame makes the same scene far more cinematic and dynamic, and smooths the flow between cuts.
Where You'll Use It
- Cinematic openers and scene transitions
- High-speed tracking in action and chase sequences
- 360-degree orbit shots around products or people
- Drone and FPV overhead moves
- Slow push-ins that heighten emotion
Why This Tag Is Useful
Camera movement is the grammar of video. Specifying which move to use and when lets the model express a scene's emotion and pace far more precisely. Breaking movement down per cut yields a clear narrative arc and cuts down on flat results.
Tips for Crafting Prompts
- Name the move (dolly-in, pan, orbit, tracking, crane, FPV).
- Set speed and direction together (slow push-in, fast left-to-right tracking).
- Break movement into per-cut, per-second beats.
- Combine with lens and angle (wide low-angle, telephoto) to reinforce mood.
Try video with the exact camera work you intend using Seedance. Change only the movement and the same scene feels entirely different; chain several moves for a full cinematic sequence.
