How do I turn a photo into an animation using AI?

What kinds of motion can the AI photo animator create?

You can prompt various camera movements, including push in (zoom in), pull out (zoom out), slide left/right, move up/down, pan, and orbit around the subject. Combining these with speed descriptions (e.g., 'slow', 'fast') gives you control over the final animation.
