Image to Video

How to Use Image to Video

Pick a model, describe what you want, and preview the result in the same workspace.

1. 1

   Choose the image that should define the shot

   Use a frame with the composition, subject placement, and visual direction you actually want to preserve. Image to Video works best when the still image is already a strong creative anchor.

2. 2

   Describe motion, not just atmosphere

   Write how the subject should move, how the camera should move, what should stay stable, and what should evolve. If you only describe mood, the result often adds generic motion instead of intentional movement.

3. 3

   Match the model to the kind of control you need

   Kling 3.0 is useful when prompt-led control and motion feel matter, Veo 3.1 when you want cleaner cinematic output, Seedance 2.0 when continuity matters, and Wan 2.7 when you need a lower-cost structural pass.

4. 4

   Keep the first pass short, then refine from the winning frame

   Use the shortest duration that can prove the direction, compare results, and only lengthen or restyle once you know which motion behavior is worth keeping.

What You Can Do with Image to Video

Best used when the visual direction already exists and the real task is to animate it, compare motion strategies, and keep the same frame language across revisions.

• 01

  Image to Video for product motion and launch visuals

  Start from a product still, campaign visual, or packshot and turn it into motion without losing the approved composition or lighting direction.

• 02

  Image to Video for posters, covers, and key art

  Animate static marketing art into short moving scenes that keep the same frame language, which is useful when the layout is already decided but the output needs more life.

• 03

  Image to Video for portraits and character continuity

  Move a portrait or character frame into motion while keeping identity, framing, and overall design closer to the original than a prompt-only workflow usually can.
