How to prompt a pan right shot in AI video
- 01
Describe the shot
Write one or two sentences for the subject, setting and light before any camera language.
- 02
Add the pan right recipe
Append the recipe as its own sentence: "Camera: pan right. Movement: rotate the camera horizontally from left to right from one fixed point. Speed: smooth constant rotation. Framing: keep the horizon level while new space enters from the right side of the frame. End: settle on a clear final composition."
- 03
Keep one move per shot
Remove any other camera instructions so the model commits to a single, readable move.
- 04
Generate and review the ending
Check the final frame matches the End line. If the move drifts, shorten the clip or restate what must stay fixed.
One move is one shot. To carry it into the next shot, pin where each clip starts and ends with first-frame / last-frame and chain the shots into a short film with one cast in every shot. Still picking software? Here is what to look for in a short-film tool.
