Create a cinematic AI video with real camera direction
Framing, focal length, aperture, angle, movement: Imaginode's Camera node injects real art direction into your AI images and videos. The cinematic template arrives pre-wired.

The difference between a generic AI video and a shot with real presence often comes down to the camera: where it sits, what it looks at, how it moves. The "Cinematic shot" template plugs a Camera node into your image and your video so you can direct all of that with five dials, no jargon required.
Pick a close-up at 85mm, an f/1.4 aperture for a melted background, a slow dolly-in: these instructions are translated into language that Kling 2.5 Turbo or Seedance 2.0 understand, placed exactly where they belong in the prompt. For still images, Flux Pro 1.1 delivers the most convincing photographic look.
The Camera node guide covers every setting, and the article on directing the camera in AI shows striking before-and-after examples.
How it works
- 1
Open the Cinematic shot template
A Text node, an Image node, a Video node and a Camera node arrive already connected: the camera's purple cable feeds both the image and the video.
- 2
Set your five dials
Shot size (from extreme close-up to wide shot), focal length, aperture, angle and movement. Every dial is illustrated: no need to know the vocabulary.
- 3
Generate the image, then the video
Validate the framing first on a low-cost still image. Once the composition is right, generate the video with the same camera settings.
- 4
Refine the movement
Dolly-in for intimacy, orbit to reveal a product, handheld for energy: change the movement dial and regenerate.
Recommended models
Kling 2.5 Turbo
Seedance 2.0
Flux Pro 1.1Frequently asked questions
Does the Camera node cost credits?
No. It enriches the prompt of your Image and Video nodes; you only pay for the generations themselves.
Which models follow camera direction best?
Kling and Seedance follow described movements well; for still images, Flux Pro 1.1 and Imagen 4 faithfully reproduce focal length and depth of field.
Can I combine the camera with a recurring character?
Yes: plug a Reference node and a Camera node into the same image, and your character will be framed exactly as you set it.
