On this page, you can configure all your camera settings. If you select Desktop Editing from the Select Camera section, you can work with existing photos on your device without connecting a camera. You can also select a camera connected to your device from the same section. Once a camera is selected, your live image will appear in the Live Preview section. You can take test photos to check the lighting conditions and your current camera settings.

Output Templates

When the page opens, you will see the default templates. You can use these templates if you wish, or delete all of them and create a new template only for the mode you need.

Having multiple templates in this section requires selecting a template before taking a photo. If you are not using multiple AI modes or multiple frames/templates, this is not necessary. You can delete all templates and restore them quickly at any time.

To create a template for AI Motion, click the +Add & Create button.

Add templates dialog with option to restore deleted templates or create new

Even if you delete the templates, you can quickly add them again from this section. For now, click the Create New button.

Possible Errors in AI Motion Mode

1) Unclear or Insufficient Motion Prompts

If the motion prompt is not clear, the AI may not correctly understand which movement should be applied. This can result in no motion, very subtle motion, or unexpected animations.

2) Mismatch Between Visual Content and Motion Prompt

Defining highly dynamic or aggressive movements for a static or calm image can cause the animation to appear unnatural, broken, or artificial.

3) Overly Complex or Conflicting Motion Prompts

Including conflicting motion descriptions within the same prompt (for example, both "subtle" and "fast motion") can cause the AI Motion system to produce inconsistent or unstable results.

4) Multiple Motion Requests on a Single Image

Requesting multiple types of motion at the same time, such as facial movement, body movement, background motion, and camera motion, can cause movements to overlap, conflict, or fail to apply altogether.

5) Mismatch Between Motion Duration and Motion Type

Requesting long or complex movements within a short motion duration can cause the animation to appear incomplete or meaningless.
