Motion Strength Parameters
A parameter controlling how much movement and animation appears in AI-generated video.
Motion strength (also called motion amount, motion intensity, or motion scale) determines the degree of movement in AI-generated video. Higher values create more dynamic, energetic motion while lower values produce subtle, minimal movement.
Typical Scale
Most platforms use a 1-4 or 1-10 scale:
| Level | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Low (1-2) | Subtle, gentle | Portraits, calm scenes |
| Medium (3) | Natural motion | General use |
| High (4+) | Dynamic, energetic | Action, effects |
Platform Variations
- Pika: 1-4 scale
- Runway: Controlled via prompt language
- Kling: Mode selection (Standard/Professional)
Tips
- Start at medium settings and adjust
- Match motion strength to your content type
- Higher motion may introduce more artifacts
- Lower motion gives more control over subtle animations
