Arc Right — AI camera move prompt

Updated 2026-08-21

Arc Right is a camera movement you can name directly in the prompt. Here is the phrase to use, what it changes, and which models render it reliably.

The prompt phrase

Arc Right

camera arcing right around the subject

Without an explicit move, video models fall back on a vague floating drift that reads as artificial. Naming the move gives the model something deliberate to execute.

A worked example

A violinist mid-performance in an empty concert hall, camera arcing right around the subject, 35mm lens

Your subject comes first, then the technique, then anything else. Models weight the front of a prompt most heavily, so keep the subject there and let the camera move modify it.

Common questions

What exactly do I put in the prompt?

The phrase above, word for word: "camera arcing right around the subject". Put it after your subject, separated by a comma.

Which models handle this best?

The 8 models in the table all support it. Veo 3.1 Lite is the cheapest way to test it at 6 credits, then move up a tier once the shot works.

Can I combine it with other camera moves?

Yes. Stacking two or three related instructions is normal; stacking six competing ones is where results start to fall apart.
