Which models take a camera move from a reference?
2 of the 24 models: Moonvalley Marey and Seedance. The other 22 do not, in the docs read. As of 2026-10-13.
| Model | Camera moves | What the docs say |
|---|---|---|
| Moonvalley Marey | Drawn or set from an image | Camera moves are made from a single image, and trajectories are drawn for elements |
| Seedance | From a reference | Images, audio and videos can serve as references for performance, light and camera movement |
Inclusion rule. Models whose own docs meet the condition in the question. Order. Alphabetical by model name.
