Cinema Settings for AI Images

Cinema Settings for AI Images

Last updated: May 2026


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

  1. Add an AI Image element to the canvas
  2. Open the Cinema Settings button in the AI image controls
  3. 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
