description	Direct global camera moves and local artwork focus in Motionly. Use for push-ins, pull-backs, pans, speed zooms, focal shifts, diagram walkthroughs, logo close-ups, parallax planning, and deciding whether to animate the camera or an individual SVG/object.

Camera

Move the global camera only when the whole composition changes viewpoint. If the request focuses on one logo, SVG, screenshot, or diagram, animate that object's x, y, scale, rotation, originX, and originY instead.

Decision

• Whole scene advances toward a product: global slowPush or push.
• Whole scene reveals wider context: global pull.
• Attention moves across a large composition: global pan.
• Only one vector or panel is inspected: local object transform.
• Scene cut needs a punch: one speedZoom, followed by stillness.

Global Example

camera {
  zoom 1
  x 0
  y 0
  rotation 0
  cameraAnimation "speedZoom(delay 4s duration 900ms from 1 peak 1.09 to 1.02 ease power3.out)"
}

Keep safe margins around every layer because camera transforms affect all visible content.

Local Diagram Walkthrough

diagram {
  center
  width 1500
  originX .78
  originY .3
}

animate diagram {
  keyframes {
    0% { scale .92 x 0 y 0 }
    48% { scale 1.35 x -260 y 120 }
    100% { scale 1 x 0 y 0 }
  }
  duration 5s
  easing power3.out
}

Hold after arriving at a focus point. Constant drift makes reading difficult and turns intentional camera language into noise.

Limits

Motionly has one global 2D camera; it does not provide depth-aware 3D camera rigs. Build parallax with separate editable layers moving at different rates and state the limitation if true 3D perspective is required.
