Terms from "camera arc" to "cut-out".

• Camera arc. Per scene, where the camera presses in and where it releases. Writing the treatment → The camera sheet

• Camera dose. One designed move per shot, sized in numbers and in what the frame shows. Camera and lens → The camera dose

• Camera during speech. The camera breathes or pushes very slowly during the words; bigger moves before or after (decided). Speaking shots and lip sync → The camera during speech

• Camera law. The film's camera personality; one clause of it enters every CAMERA block. Camera and lens → The camera law in every prompt

• Canonical line. The approved wording in the dialect's normal spelling, no vowel marks, no tags. It never changes. Voice and Arabic dialects → Three texts per line

• Capture. Who or what films a scene, written as what that camera does to the picture. Light and look → The capture in the look line

• Casting still. A candidate face in the film's light, made with its identity close-up, for the client page. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Close-ups and casting stills

• CC0 (Creative Commons Zero). A licence free for any use, no credit needed; the only one for real recordings (decided). Sound design and mix → Real recordings from Openverse (CC0)

• Ceiling. The upper figure of a risk band's budget and of every estimate line; there you stop, write down the diagnosis and choose. Planning, budgets and takes → The stop rules

• Character sheet. One 16:9 image at 2K: face close-up, front body with the head cropped, back view with the head kept. Photoreal anchors (Nano Banana Pro) → Character sheets

• Clamp. A written limit on a generated actor's pull to overdo an emotion, set from both sides: "pleased, never grinning". Performance → Clamps, restraint, energy for presenters

• Colour bible. One still per scene, in story order, on one sheet, each with one plain line under it, seen before any grading. The grade and texture → The colour bible, and you balance

• Credit (cr, Higgsfield credit). Higgsfield's unit of spend, worth about $0.05 (read Aug–Sep 2026) for context; every Higgsfield price and estimate line counts in it. Suno credits and ElevenLabs credits are other units, and none is ever added to another or to dollars. Planning, budgets and takes → Costs and the estimate

• CRF (constant rate factor). An H.264 encode's quality setting; a lower number is higher quality. Review previews use CRF 18. Graphics, captions, versions and delivery → Exports and the delivery check

• Cut-out. A subject on a transparent background, generated with transparency, not cut out afterwards. Still prompts, storyboard frames and diagrams → Transparent cut-outs
