1What the docs say

MiniMax documents fifteen bracketed camera commands for its Hailuo models, such as [Truck left] or [Push in], which can be combined inside one bracket or run in sequence. Its guide adds first and last frames and, for the H3 model, camera movement taken from a reference. Shot sizes, negative prompts and a motion setting are not documented.
