Cinematic AI video generator Film scenes, generated from a shot description

Describe the shot, the camera move, the light and the sound. Felo plans the sequence and generates a cinematic clip in 21:9 or 16:9, up to 2K — then you can change the take in the same thread.

What makes a clip feel cinematic?

Cinematic video is less about a filter and more about intent: a clear subject, one camera move, controlled light and a sound bed. Felo takes those decisions from your prompt, plans the shots and generates footage in a widescreen frame.

  1. Widescreen framing in 21:9 or 16:9, not a cropped vertical.

  2. One deliberate camera move per shot: push in, track, arc or pull out.

  3. Light and palette described in words, from overcast dawn to tungsten night.

  4. Ambience, effects and music directed in the same prompt.

How to write a cinematic prompt

A film scene prompt reads like a shot list. These five elements give the model enough to stage, light and cut the scene.

Shot

What the frame contains at the start: subject, location, wardrobe and the details that must stay consistent.

Camera

Static, push in, track, arc or crane. Name one primary move and its speed.

Light

Time of day, source and contrast — backlit dusk, hard noon sun, practical neon.

Motion

What changes during the clip and where it ends. A turn, a pass-by, a reveal.

Sound

Room tone, effects and music. Optional, but it carries the mood.

Example prompt

“Live-action science fiction in 21:9. A silver magnetic train races across a black-glass salt plain before dawn, passing directly over the camera. The camera becomes a fast low tracking shot beside the rear carriage, rain streaking across the lens. At four seconds it rises into a wide aerial view as a lightning sheet reveals a colossal ring city suspended on the horizon. End on a clean centered silhouette, no text, no logos. Overall soundscape: electromagnetic hum, rail vibration, driving rain and thunder. Non-diegetic music: low brass pulses and sustained strings.”

How to generate a cinematic scene

From a shot description to a clip you can download.

  1. 01

    Block the shot

    Name the subject, the location and the single action. Add what the camera does and where the scene begins.

  2. 02

    Set the frame

    Choose 21:9 for a film-like frame or 16:9 for standard widescreen, then set duration and resolution in video settings.

  3. 03

    Direct the next take

    Watch the clip, then ask for a change — a slower push-in, a different light, a longer hold — and generate a new version.

  • Clips run 4–30 seconds at 480P/768P and 4–15 seconds at 1080P/2K.
  • Camera moves, lighting and sound are directed in the prompt, not in a timeline.
  • You can start from text, a first frame, or a first and last frame.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cinematic AI video generator?
It turns a written shot description into film-style footage. Felo plans the shot, generates the clip and lets you direct changes in the same thread.
Can I generate a film scene from text?
Yes. Describe the subject, location, camera, light and sound. Felo turns the description into a shot list and generates the scene.
Which aspect ratio should I use for a cinematic look?
21:9 gives the widest, most film-like frame. 16:9 is the standard widescreen option and is easier to place in most edits.
Can I control the camera movement?
Describe it in the prompt: static, push in, track, arc or pull out. Include the speed and what the move reveals.
How long can a cinematic clip be?
4 to 30 seconds at 480P or 768P, and 4 to 15 seconds at 1080P or 2K.
Does Felo add sound to the clip?
Yes. The prompt can direct ambience, effects and music, and the generated clip includes an audio track.
Can I continue a scene after the first clip?
Yes. Ask for a new shot or a different ending in the same thread, and Felo keeps the context from the previous clip.
Is Felo a full video editor?
No. Felo generates and revises clips by prompt. For a multi-clip timeline with transitions, titles and a separate music track, use a video editor.
How much does Felo cinematic video cost?
Video generations use Felo points. The pricing page lists the points included with each plan.
How is AI cinematic video different from stock footage?
Stock footage is existing footage you search for; Felo generates the shot you describe. Stock is faster when a generic clip fits, while generation is for a specific subject, camera move or light.
Can I start a cinematic clip from an image?
Yes. Use a reference image as the first frame, or set a first and last frame, then describe the camera move, light and sound. The image anchors the composition while the prompt directs motion.
