Rapidata Relative Camera Movement Benchmark

Built by Rapidata.

This dataset contains 272,294 human responses, collected with the Rapidata Python SDK, comparing how well 15 image-to-video models and world models move the camera relative to what is in the scene. Each row is a head-to-head comparison between two models' clips generated from the same still and the same instruction, judged by human annotators.

Our Camera Movement Benchmark asks for scene-agnostic moves — "tilt thirty degrees down", "truck left". This one asks for moves that only make sense in this picture: "slide the camera under the wooden fence, then lift it up to the red barn roof", "move the camera behind the dog, then switch it to the dog's point of view". To pass, a model has to understand the scene: which object is meant, where "behind" it is, what it would see.

Win share by movement type and number of motions

Mean userScore-weighted win share per model across all of its matchups (50% = even with the field). The 25 prompts tagged with both movement types count in both columns.

Model	Camera movement	Perspective switching	1 motion	2 motions	Overall
Gemini Omni Flash 1.1	64%	66%	66%	65%	65%
Wan 3.0	64%	68%	64%	65%	65%
Happy Horse 1.1	61%	58%	61%	61%	61%
MiniMax H3 Max	61%	59%	57%	62%	60%

• Perspective switching separates the field most. Wan 3.0 wins 68% of its matchups there, while the three research world models drop to 22–28%.
• Kling 3.0 Pro and FLUX 3 Video are better at switching perspective than at moving (55% and 57%, against 49% and 51% on camera movement).
• MiniMax H3 Max gets stronger as the instruction gets longer: 57% on one-motion prompts, 62% on two.

The live leaderboard also lets you slice the standings by scene.

How the dataset was built

1. Input stills (50 images)

50 photographs of scenes with clearly nameable objects, people and animals to move relative to — a skateboarder on Ocean Drive, Rodin's Thinker on a plinth, a table saw in a timber workshop, a retriever running on sand, the back seat of a Bangkok taxi, a grand piano in an empty hall, a helicopter cockpit over a city. Each still carries between 2 and 8 prompts.

2. Prompts (220, hand-written per still)

Every prompt was written for one specific still and names things that are actually in it, so there is no cross product of stills and prompts. Each prompt is tagged on two axes, which the live leaderboard can filter by:

Movement type	Prompts	What it asks for	Example
Camera movement	194	move the camera along, past, under, around or towards named scene content	"Lower the camera to the floor, then slide it slowly under the table saw."
Perspective switching	51	cut or move to a character's own point of view	"Switch the camera to the cyclist's point of view."

25 prompts carry both tags: a camera move followed by a perspective switch, e.g. "Move the camera quickly behind the dog, then switch it to the dog's point of view."

Number of motions	Prompts
1 motion	73
2 motions	147

3. Video generation (15 models)

Each still and its prompts were sent to every model as an image-to-video request: the still is the first frame, the prompt is the instruction.

4. Human evaluation

The clips were uploaded to a Rapidata MRI benchmark as one participant per model, and the Alignment leaderboard was run over the resulting pairwise matchups. Annotators came from a dedicated Rapidata audience rather than the open global pool. Every pair received 12 votes, from annotators in 121 countries, and per-annotator detail — chosen side, country, language, gender, age bucket, occupation and the annotator's userScore — is preserved in the detailed_results_alignment column.

Dataset structure

One row per head-to-head clip pair generated from the same still and the same instruction.

Column	Type	Description
prompt	string	the camera instruction both clips were generated from
prompt_asset	image	the input still both clips were generated from, embedded (JPEG)
video1	string	public URL of the clip from model1
video2	string	public URL of the clip from model2
model1	string	name of the model that produced video1
model2	string	name of the model that produced video2
weighted_results_video1_alignment	float32	sum of the userScore weights of the votes for video1
weighted_results_video2_alignment	float32	sum of the userScore weights of the votes for video2
detailed_results_alignment	string	every vote on the pair as a JSON array (votedFor is A for video1 and B for video2, plus annotator demographics and userScore)

The two weighted_results_* values are userScore-weighted vote sums, not probabilities — they do not sum to 1. Divide by their sum for a normalised win share, which is what the example percentages above show.

The embedded stills make the full download about 5 GB. Load only the columns you need to skip them:

import json
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("Rapidata/relative-camera-movement", split="train")
row = ds[0]
print(row["prompt"], "|", row["model1"], "vs", row["model2"])

w1, w2 = row["weighted_results_video1_alignment"], row["weighted_results_video2_alignment"]
print(f"win share {row['model1']}: {w1 / (w1 + w2):.0%}")

votes = json.loads(row["detailed_results_alignment"])
print(len(votes), "votes, first one:", votes[0])

row["prompt_asset"].show()  # the input still, as a PIL image
