How do you copy a camera move from an earlier clip into a new shot?

Without Higgsfield: Export a rough 3D blocking of the shot from Blender as a video and use it as the motion reference, with a rule that the grey box handles camera timing and the image references handle the visuals. Or attach the earlier clip as a reference and say in the prompt what it is for, such as Video 1 for the camera movement, as Seedance 2.0 and Hailuo 3.0 allow.

Axis: the earlier clip as a video reference … describing the move again in text
