3Higgsfield, Runway and a third set of camera docs
| Camera point | SceneMixer | Source |
|---|---|---|
| How a camera move is asked for | Camera moves are written into each shot's text: fixed, handheld, tracking or a slow push in | SceneMixer, how to write one shot |
| A negative prompt | Negative wording is advised against: the guide says to describe what is there, because a named absence tends to be drawn | SceneMixer, say what is there guide |
Inclusion rule. Points where the two models above differ and SceneMixer's guides say something; points its guides leave open are not shown. Order. The order the points take on every model page.
