Camera moves

38 camera moves, grouped by what the camera physically does.

Because that is the distinction that decides which photos you go and take. A reveal needs a walk; a swivel needs you to stand still; a drone needs the outside. Every move below is on every plan, and every one is rendered from photographs you already have.

Reveal moves

The camera closes in on the space.

Shoot the walk in: one photo from the doorway, one halfway, one where the move should land. Views must overlap, in the order you moved.

Swivel moves

Feet planted — only the camera head turns or the lens zooms.

Stand in one spot and turn. Three photos without moving your feet: facing left, centre, right (or floor, eye-level, ceiling for a tilt).

Travel moves

The whole camera moves through the room.

Step sideways or forward between frames, keeping the camera pointed the same way. Kitchen islands, hallways and long windows suit these.

Drone moves

Airborne — establishes the whole property from above.

Exterior shots from a raised viewpoint, or genuine drone stills. Work from the wide establishing view towards the detail, or the reverse for an ascend.

The planner picks the move for each room.

Point the AI Listing Planner at a folder of photos. It reads every shot, matches each room to the move its photos can support, and tells you what to re-shoot when they can't.

  • Reads the photos

    Which room, where you stood, which shots belong together.

  • Picks the move

    The one the photos can actually support — never a guess.

  • Orders the frames

    First photo opens the clip, last one lands it.

  • Says what to re-shoot

    Where to stand, which way to turn, how many frames.

Questions about camera moves

New here? Start with how a clip is made.

Yes. Every plan renders the same 720p HD output with the same camera moves. Plans differ only in how many listings you can market a month, how many people share the workspace, and how much the AI Listing Planner will do for you.
Dolly. A straight push into a room is the most forgiving move there is, because three photos taken as you walk through a doorway already form the path the camera needs. The other moves are variations on where the camera stands and how it turns.
Three to five photos of the same room, taken in one pass with the same light. The first photo is where the clip opens and the last is where it lands, so shoot them in the order the camera should travel.
Yes. Pan, truck and slide come in both directions, and the shot-plan board has a mirror switch for any move that came out the wrong way round. Check the photo order on the board first; the clip opens on the first slot and lands on the last.
Point the AI Listing Planner at the folder. It reads every photo, picks the move for each room, and says which rooms need re-shooting and exactly how — where to stand, which way to turn, how many frames.
