🖼️ How do I turn an image into a video (Image to Video)?

Image to Video turns a static image into a short animated clip. You upload a starting image, describe the motion you want, and AI brings it to life.

Animate an image

Follow these steps to get started:

• Go to Video → Image to Video.
• Select your AI model from the dropdown.
• Upload your Start Frame image.
• (Optional) Upload an End Frame image to control where the motion finishes.
• In Describe the motion, write what should happen (up to 5,000 characters).
• Set Aspect Ratio, Duration, and Resolution.
• Click Generate Video, then preview and download.

Tips
Here are some tips to get the best results:

• Be specific in your motion prompt, describe action, mood, and direction.
• Use an End Frame when you need the clip to land on a particular pose or composition.
• Start with a short duration and extend only if the motion needs it.

🚨 If the motion doesn't match, simplify to one clear action. If the output looks static, use more dynamic verbs, "running", "waving", "spinning".

Common Issues
If you run into problems, here are the most common issues and how to resolve them:

• Motion doesn't match prompt - simplify to one clear action
• Output looks static - use more dynamic language: 'running', 'waving', 'spinning'
