Gesture toward an empty caption area

1. Task and boundary

Use this shot as an introduction or a lead-in to a message you will add during editing. The adult stays at frame left, leaving the upper-right area empty. One modest gesture draws attention toward that area without occupying the space intended for text.

The related palm-turn exercise follows the thumb and wrist during a hand movement. This shot uses hand continuity to support a presentation layout whose main result is usable caption space. See Turn an empty palm: follow the thumb through the edge-on view.

Replace the caption side, person position and gesture size as a coordinated layout. If you mirror the layout, reverse every side reference together. This draft supplies a silent gesture, not lip synchronization or generated typography; verify your chosen editing tool before adding captions.

2. Authorized first frame

Use your own or authorized image of a consenting adult framed from the waist up. Place the person at the left with room for the full forearm and hand. Leave a plain upper-right region large enough for your planned text and show the nearby hand below it at the start.

3. Use the generator

Open the image-to-video generator, supply your authorized first frame and paste the prompt. Check the available settings and cost before submitting; this page does not upload or submit for you.

1. Opening: confirm the empty region and the lower starting hand position.
2. Action: raise and open the nearby hand without crossing the face or blank region.
3. Ending: hold the gesture below the region so later text has a clear place.

4. Prompt and timing

Use the supplied first frame. Keep the camera fixed, the adult at frame left and the upper-right caption area empty. The arm nearest the empty side begins low beside the torso. Raise that forearm gently outward and open the hand into a relaxed palm-up presentation gesture below the caption area. Keep the wrist connected and the fingers natural. The hand must not cross the face or enter the upper-right blank region. Keep the expression and gaze calm and consistent. Pause briefly with the open palm below the empty area. Do not create words, graphics, new objects, speech or a camera move.

5. Inspect the output

Review the opening, motion and ending. For each criterion, note a frame and pass, fail or inconclusive; use inconclusive when a key detail is hidden.

• The face remains unobstructed and consistent while the hand follows one continuous path.
• The hand stays connected to the same wrist with a plausible palm and fingers.
• The reserved upper-right region stays blank, separate from the hand and arm.

6. Fix one failure

• If the hand covers the face, shorten the arc and keep it on the empty side of the torso.
• If the blank region fills with objects or lettering, explicitly preserve the supplied background there.
• If fingers multiply, use a relaxed open hand and reduce wrist rotation.

7. Ending and limits

The presenter holds a relaxed open palm below the reserved region, with the face visible and the caption space still empty.
