About Cinema Motion

Cinema Motion — Cinema Motion is a workspace for AI video generation. Here, you can animate an AI avatar, bring an image from Picture Lab to life, or simply create a scene from a text description.

We support diverse video engines, each optimized for different needs — from close-up character animation to wide shots, or from hyperrealism to artistic styles.

How It works

1. Select a generation model  — Runway, Hailuo, Ray 2, and others.
2. Create video base:
   • Use an image from Picture Lab.
   • Upload your own image.
   • Or provide a text description.
3. Add a text prompt — Describe what should happen in the video.
4. Adjust settings — Set the video duration, camera movement, and video format.
5. Click Generate — Your video will appear in History and My Assets within 30-90 seconds.

Model Comparison

Model	Generation Time	Price	Best For	Pros
Runway Gen4			Simple image and text based animations	Stable generation, effectively bringing scenes to life
Hailuo			Short clips, cutscenes	Consistent results in working with characters
Ray 2			Cinematic/fantasy scenes	Handles large-scale scenes and overall composition very well
Seedance			Characters, animals, landscapes, special effects	High level of detail, realistic movement, cinematic style
Veo3			Characters, animals, landscapes, special effects	Highest level of detail, borderline realism, precise control via prompts

Video Generation Workflow

1. Choose Your Generation Model — Select a model, such as Runway, Hailuo, Ray 2, or others, based on your goal.
2. Establish Your Scene:
   • Use an image from Picture Lab.
   • Upload your own image.
   • Or start from scratch with a text description.
3. Write Your Prompt — Describe the action, atmosphere, and details you want in your video.
4. Adjust the settings:
   • Set the video duration — 5 or 10 seconds.
   • Choose camera movement — zoom, pan, rotate, etc.
   • Explore other model-specific options.
5. Click Generate — Your video will appear in History and My Assets within 30-90 seconds.

Getting Started

For Beginners

• Start with Hailuo — It’s fast, reliable, and great for general motion scenes.
• Create an image in Picture Lab — it will automatically appear in the Starter Shot setting within Cinema Motion. Select it as the base for your video, then add a text prompt to define the actions, atmosphere, or mood of the scene.
• Keep prompts simple:
• man smiling at sunset; woman in a business suit walking through an office.
• Begin with basic settings:
  • Duration: 5 seconds.
  • Camera: simple movement (e.g., “smooth zoom”).

For Experienced Users

• Choose models based on your goals — For example, Runway is ideal for realistic portraits and facial expressions, while Ray 2 excels at emotional or stylized scenes. Try the same prompt with different models to find the best option for your specific scenario.
• Combine Starter Shots and text prompts for precision.
• Utilize advanced camera movements — pans, rotations, first-person perspectives, or zooms – to enhance dynamics, convey character’s mood, or create a sense of presence. These movements work particularly well in short videos with a single focus (a face, an action, an object).

Best Practices

1. Generate short clips (2–6 seconds) — it’s easier to manage the dynamics and achieve the desired effect.
2. For basic animation (camera movements, simple actions), use Runway — it’s stable and predictable.
3. Seedance and Veo3 are better at interpreting text descriptions and delivering the most realistic results.
4. Refine the atmosphere: add details to your prompt, like evening, fog, or cinematic lighting — it makes the scene more expressive.
5. Check the final video for “muddiness”  — if the image is blurry or loses detail, try changing the style or regenerating.
