Pull-out in AI video prompts: which docs use it

3 of the 24 models' docs use pull-out: Luma Dream Machine, MiniMax Hailuo and Wan. A pull-out moves the camera away from the subject to reveal where it is, often closing a scene or showing isolation. As of 2026-09-25.

Inclusion rule. Models whose own docs define the word, list it as a command or preset, or use it in an example prompt. Order. Alphabetical by model name.

1How the docs use it

Luma Dream Machine defines it; MiniMax Hailuo lists it as a command; Wan uses it in an example.

A word the docs define is one the maker explains to users. A command or preset is one the model is set up to perform on request. A word that appears only in an example prompt is one the maker shows working, without promising more.

The other 21 models' docs do not use it in the pages read: Adobe Firefly, Google Veo, Grok Imagine, Higgsfield, HunyuanVideo 1.5, Kling AI and others.

2A shot list from a script

Where “Pull-out” has to be written by hand, SceneMixer's pipeline writes the shots; its guides explain:

Paste a scene or a short script and SceneMixer gives you a storyboard — numbered shots with framing and seconds — and then a moving version of each segment, which you can join into a rough cut of the scene.
SceneMixer, Using SceneMixer for Previs and Animatics Before a Live-Action Shoot (read 2026-10-13)

SceneMixer writes dialogue into the script analysis, assigns each line to a shot with a speaker and a short delivery note, and the video model performs it — picture and audio generated together, so the mouth forms that sentence in the language you chose.
