Motion Duration

Specifies the duration of the motion parameter in seconds.

Accepts an integer value between 1 and 60. Defaults to 5 if not specified.

Choosing the Right Duration

Shorter durations result in quicker, more abrupt motion, while longer durations create smoother, more gradual animation.

Consider the following factors when selecting a duration:

  • Motion complexity: More complex camera movements or actions may benefit from longer durations
  • Viewing context: Shorter durations (3-5 seconds) work well for social media or quick previews
  • Storytelling needs: Longer durations (10-15 seconds) allow for more elaborate motion sequences
  • Performance: Longer videos result in larger file sizes
