Timing & Principles

Arcs

Also called Arc, Arc Motion, Curved Path

The object follows a curved trajectory instead of a straight line; compare with a straight A-to-B move.

Natural movements, thrown objects, swinging parts

Prompt

Replace [scene] with the shot and [duration] with how long it should take, then paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the technique, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.

This is for a motion graphics video. Move the object in [scene] along "Arcs" (also called arc motion or a curved path): it travels from one position to the next on a curved trajectory instead of a straight line.
The start and end points stay where they are — only the path between them bends, the way a thrown ball or a swinging arm moves, where a straight A-to-B move looks mechanical.
Fit the move into [duration], and keep the curve one smooth sweep with no kinks along the way.
