Camera Control Parameters

"camera_control": {
    "type": "simple",     # "simple" = one movement axis
    "config": {
        "horizontal": 0,  # Pan: -10 (left) to 10 (right)
        "vertical": 0,    # Tilt: -10 (down) to 10 (up)
        "zoom": 0,         # Zoom: -10 (out) to 10 (in)
        "roll": 0,         # Roll: -10 (CCW) to 10 (CW)
        "pan": 0,          # Dolly: -10 (left) to 10 (right)
        "tilt": 0,         # Dolly: -10 (down) to 10 (up)

Shot Type Quick Reference

Shot Type	Config Field	Value	Description
Pan right	`horizontal`	5-8	Slow pan, good for landscapes
Pan left	`horizontal`	-5 to -8	Reveal from right to left
Tilt up	`vertical`	5-8	Upward reveal (buildings, trees)
Tilt down	`vertical`	-5 to -8	Downward motion
Zoom in	`zoom`	5-10	Focus on subject, dramatic
Zoom out	`zoom`	-5 to -10	Reveal, establishing shot
Dutch tilt	`roll`	3-5	Unsettling, artistic angle
Push in	`tilt`	3-5	Dolly forward (depth effect)
Pull back	`tilt`	-3 to -5	Dolly backward (reveal)

Intensity Guidelines

Value Range	Effect
1-3	Subtle, barely perceptible
4-6	Moderate, natural-feeling
7-8	Strong, dramatic
9-10	Maximum, may feel unnatural

Recommendation: Start at 4-6 for most cinematic shots. Go higher for dramatic reveals or action sequences.

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Fix
`400` invalid camera config	Multiple non-zero values in simple mode	Set only one field to non-zero
Jerky motion	Value too high	Reduce to 4-6 range
No visible movement	Value too low (1-2)	Increase to 3+
Mutual exclusivity error	Combined with masks/image_tail	Use only camera_control OR masks
