What's the difference between amateur video and cinematic footage?
Usually, it comes down to three things: camera work, lens choice, and lighting.
Professional cinematographers spend years learning these skills. They know that an 85mm lens creates beautiful bokeh. That golden hour light makes everything look magical. That anamorphic lenses create those iconic horizontal flares.
But most people don't know this terminology. And even if they do, writing it into every prompt is tedious.
That's why we built Camera & Style Presets.

One Click, Professional Results
Camera & Style Presets are visual buttons that add professional cinematography terminology to your prompts automatically.
Instead of typing:
"shot on 35mm film, cinematic color grading, anamorphic lens flares, golden hour lighting, warm sunlight, long shadows"
You just click three presets: Cinematic + Anamorphic + Golden Hour
Done. The AI receives professional-grade instructions.
