Tracked motion photo

Start with the right photo.

Use a clear moving subject or pose with room in the direction of travel.

What to expect

Show the same subject moving naturally across the frame, sharply tracked by the camera while the background forms directional horizontal motion blur.

Keep an eye on

Compare subject count, recognizable identity, proportions and text against the original. Deliberate transformations are described in the prompt.

Make it yours, step by step.

1. Adjust the recipe to describe your subject and preferred background.
2. Copy the complete recipe, then open ChatGPT.
3. Upload your photo in ChatGPT and paste the recipe. The short code alone is not an official command.
4. Inspect identity, text and proportions. Ask for a targeted correction if needed.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for a tracked-motion still. The subject should remain relatively sharp while directional background blur conveys speed; uniform blur misses the effect.
