What is Motion Magnitude?
A parameter controlling the amount of motion in AI-generated video. Higher values produce more dynamic movement, lower values produce subtle motion.
How it works
Motion magnitude controls how much movement appears in your generated video. A low motion magnitude produces subtle motion like gentle swaying, slow breathing, or minimal camera drift. A high motion magnitude produces dramatic movement like fast action, sweeping camera moves, or dynamic subject motion. Finding the right motion magnitude for your content is important: product videos typically benefit from low-to-medium motion for elegant reveals, while social media content often needs higher motion to capture attention. Some tools expose this as an explicit parameter, while others infer it from the text prompt or reference materials.
