Enhance your cinematic storytelling through precise camera framing, movement, and positioning. Marey lets you animate camera paths around subjects in 3D space, even from a single 2D source image.
How to Use Animate Camera from Image or Video
Marey first needs to process your keyframe image or input video as a 3D scene. Once the 3D scene has been rendered, you are then able to animate and keyframe a virtual camera to match your desired shot. Here's a breakdown of how that works:
Select Animate camera from your main dashboard
For Image to Video: Select Start from image to go from a static keyframe to a 3D rendered video with camera paths. For Video to Video: Select start from video to add camera paths into existing footage.
Upload the image or video you want to turn into a 3D render and add camera motion to. This can be anything--an AI generated image or real-world video that you need to iterate on. When you've made your selection, click 'Open'.
After you've made your image or video selection, you'll see "Direct camera motion". Hit Begin to render the 3D scene.
Once the 3D render is ready, you'll see "Ready for camera direction" and you'll have the option to select 'Edit' to open up the camera motion console.
Select time stamps in the video to indicate sections of the video that will have a specific camera motion. If you want one smooth motion, place the marker at the end of the video.
Reference the available movements below the render (i.e. WASD keys to move the camera, R/F for up/down, Left click drag to rotate, Right click drag to pan, etc.) and apply the one you'd like at the marker by using the designated keys.
You can add additional markers to create different motion paths and can hit play to preview the motion you've added.
Once you're happy with the motion paths, click Render to prepare the paths to generate.
Write a prompt to describe the video, including the keyframe and the camera motion you've added to ensure consistency.
(Optional) Adjust advanced settings by selecting the speedometer icon to specify the strength of the control being applied if you aren't happy with the results.
Hit generate and wait for your video to be ready. If you aren't happy with the output, rate it and re-generate with a different prompt or adjusted settings.
