How to copy the camera move from a video you like

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Share the video with the camera move you like into Rift, add a photo of your subject, and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, 'same camera move, but on my car' or 'keep the orbit, put me in the middle'. Spark keeps the path, speed and timing and changes what's in the shot. Check the Draft and tap Make for up to 15 seconds.

Share the video with the camera move you like and add a photo of your own subject. Spark keeps the path, speed and timing of the move and swaps what is in the shot.

Questions people ask

Do I have to keep the original place?

No. Say "same camera move, new place: a desert road".

Which camera moves copy well?

Smooth ones: orbits, push-ins, pull-backs, follows, rises. Shaky handheld clips are harder.

Can I use it for products?

Yes. An orbit around a product is a classic ad shot.

Can I name the move instead of sharing a clip?

Yes. "Slow orbit" or "drone pull-back" in words works too.
