Cinematic Language

On the Creation Engine command bar, five cinematic buttons add professional directing language without replacing your written prompt:

Button Category Examples of what you pick
Camera Shot design & motion Framing, movement, lens feel
Lighting Mood & contrast Key/fill, practicals, time of day
Composition Frame geometry Balance, depth, leading lines
Atmosphere Ambient tone Weather, haze, particles
Style Film grammar Grade, era, genre look

How it works

  1. Click a category button — a picker opens with curated options (from cinematic-language-controls catalog)
  2. Select one or more chips
  3. Selections appear as chips above the bar (Applied model settings area may also list them)
  4. On Generate, MediaSnap merges cinematic language into the provider request as hidden directing text

Your main prompt bar stays your story direction; cinematic picks add camera department detail.
