If you want to add movement to a shot without using an AI animation model, you can apply a camera effect directly from the Scene panel. These effects are free and don't cost any credits.
Available effects
Bounce Zoom — zooms in and bounces slightly
Zoom In — slow, steady zoom toward the subject
Cinematic — subtle camera drift for a film-like feel
Pan Left / Pan Right / Pan Up — slides the frame in a direction
How to apply
Click on a shot to open the Scene panel
Under Animation, select an effect
Click Animate — no prompt needed
The effect is applied instantly without generating a new video clip.
When to use this
These effects are a great option when:
You want to avoid still images being rejected by platforms like Facebook or TikTok
You want movement without spending credits
You're drafting and want to see how a shot feels before committing to AI animation
Note: If you ask the chat to "add movement" or "animate" a shot, it will use the AI image-to-video model and cost credits. To use free camera effects, apply them directly from the Scene panel.
