ALL Camera Movement Prompts in AI Filmmaking (38 Cinematic Moves)

Video Description

In this tutorial, I show 38 real video examples of camera movement prompts used in AI filmmaking, along with the exact prompts for each cinematic camera move. I cover the full range of cinematic camera moves, from classic filmmaking techniques to AI-only camera motion that’s impossible in the real world. You’ll see dolly moves, lens manipulation, crane shots, drone shots, subject tracking, stylized motion, and advanced techniques like Infinite Scale Continuity and Cosmic Hyper-Zoom. ✅ All videos in this tutorial were generated using one all-in-one AI platform: https://magichour.ai/ Every camera move is shown visually, explained clearly, and paired with real prompts so you can immediately apply them to image-to-video and text-to-video workflows. ⚠️ Important: AI filmmaking is iterative. Not every generation will be perfect on the first try. Testing, regenerating, and refining prompts is part of the process, and that’s how cinematic results are achieved.
