Camera moves & transitions · #01
Pan
Pivot the camera left or right. The camera stays in place and pivots from left to right; because it is a rotation, near and far layers slide sideways by the same amount.

How the movement works
To reveal a wide location or to shift attention from one side of the scene to the other.
- 01Camera: position fixed (height 1.5 m); yaw only, -0.32 rad → +0.32 rad (-18° → +18°, about 37° in total)
- 02Timing: rotate from 0.5 s to 3.4 s (2.9 s), cubic ease-in-out (about cubic-bezier(0.65,0,0.35,1))
- 03Subject: a person (about 1.8 m tall) stands still 8 m ahead and slides right-to-left in frame
- 04No parallax: mountains, buildings, trees and the person all shift by the same angle (focal length 330 px on a 539×208 card)
- 05Return: hold 3.4–4.2 s, then cross-fade back to the start over the last 0.5 s (one pass = 4.7 s)
- 06Top-right readout shows the angle in whole degrees (-18° → +18°)
Prompt
Slow pan from left to right across the skyline, camera fixed in place, over 5 seconds.
