Cinema Settings is a focused mode of AI image generation built for cinematic stills — shot blocking, lighting, mood, and lens behavior, controlled visually instead of being buried in a long text prompt.
Opening Cinema Settings
- Add an AI Image element to the canvas
- Open the Cinema Settings button in the AI image controls
- The Cinema panel opens with camera, lighting, and mood pickers
Controls
- Shot type: Wide, medium, close-up, extreme close, two-shot, over-the-shoulder, etc.
- Camera angle: Eye-level, low, high, dutch, top-down
- Lens: Wide, normal, telephoto, anamorphic — affects depth and perspective
- Lighting: Natural, golden hour, low key, neon, studio, backlit
- Mood: Cinematic, documentary, noir, dreamy, gritty, romantic
Why Use Cinema Settings
Describing a cinematic shot in plain English requires precise vocabulary most people don't have. The Cinema Settings UI translates visual choices into the right prompt ingredients automatically — pick a low-key, high-angle, wide-lens shot and the AI generates exactly that.
Use Cases
- Pre-visualize a film or video shot list
- Generate cinematic stills for a mood board
- Storyboard a music video with consistent camera language
- Mock up film posters or campaign visuals
Tips
- Combine Cinema Settings with Reference Images for tight visual style control
- For a sequence, keep most settings constant and vary one (e.g. shot type) per panel
- Pair with the AI Storyboard Generator to scaffold an entire sequence
