1How the docs use it
Google Veo defines it; Higgsfield lists it as a preset.
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 22 models' docs do not use it in the pages read: Adobe Firefly, Grok Imagine, HunyuanVideo 1.5, Kling AI, Leonardo Motion 2.0, LTX and others.

2Camera language in a pipeline
Where “Whip pan” has to be written by hand, SceneMixer's pipeline writes the shots; its guides explain:
SceneMixer turns a novel into a watchable short-drama series in one pipeline: upload the novel (Chinese or English) → AI extracts characters, scenes, and an episode-by-episode structure → generates consistent character and scene art → writes storyboard scripts → renders video segment by segment (16:9 by default, 9:16 in one setting) → composites full episodes.

A serialized vertical-video show (typically 60–120 seconds per episode, 9:16) where the cast, scenes, and footage are AI-generated.
