Use an original or authorized source that meets the model’s displayed file and image-count requirements. The input should have a clear composition, with every depicted person clearly adult and appropriately consenting.
Keep the composition. Describe the motion.
Image to Video starts from an authorized still and generates movement over time. Let the image supply the arrangement; use the prompt to say what should move and what should stay steady. The actual desk case retains the cup, saucer and book while steam, framing and sunlight shift slightly.
Prepare Image to Video from the source outward
Use a clear starting frame, a restrained motion brief and a setup you can evaluate. The original desk input is available from the homepage case.
- 01
Check the image
Use a sharp, well-framed source that you have permission to process. Important edges and objects should be visible.
- 02
Describe change, not every detail
Ask for one motion and name important details to preserve. In the desk case, the request describes steam and a small camera movement.
- 03
Inspect the generated change
Review the live settings and Credits, submit after signing in, and inspect the actual output for unwanted changes.
Read the source alongside the actual brief
These frames belong to one recorded desk case. Only the first motion brief was generated; the other cards explain the input and a possible revision, not extra model outputs.
Browse the input and prompt examples.
Recorded desk motion brief
PromptKeep the ceramic cup, saucer, book, and wooden desk consistent with the reference image. Delicate steam rises and gently curls above the tea while soft morning light shifts subtly across the table. The camera makes a very slow, small lateral slide to the right without changing the composition. One continuous realistic shot, no added objects, no hands, no people, no writing, quiet indoor ambience.
Observed: cup, saucer and book remain visible; steam shape, framing and sunlight shift slightly. The requested exact camera direction is not asserted as achieved.
Inspect the starting image
PromptKeep the cup, saucer, book and wooden desk consistent with the source.
This is the actual starting still. Check how the composition and edges carry into the video.
Try less camera movement
PromptKeep the desk composition fixed. Gentle steam rises from the tea, with no intentional camera movement.
This suggested revision isolates the steam from the camera instruction. It has not been generated.
Check the image model’s available controls
Upload requirements and available output choices depend on the selected model. A text-to-video control is not necessarily available for an image request.
| Goal | Focus on | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Check the main action | A shorter available duration | A compact test helps you see whether the intended movement reads clearly. |
| Frame the subject | The available aspect-ratio control | Choose the frame for the subject and destination; supported shapes differ by model. |
| Inspect output detail | The selected resolution | Higher resolution can change access and Credit requirements; compare it with the task. |
| Plan another attempt | The live model and Credit estimate | Each revision is a new request. Review the full setup before submitting. |
Make the next attempt easier to evaluate
Change one decision at a time and compare what actually changed in the output.
- Several movements compete
- Keep one main action. Test the camera move separately before adding more movement.
- The composition changes too much
- Reduce the requested motion and state which key details should remain consistent.
- The result misses the intended focus
- Name the focal object and starting composition directly, then remove unrelated details.
- The control I expected is missing
- Check the selected model and mode. Use only the settings currently exposed in the studio.
Image to Video questions
Practical answers about live settings, Credits, account access, and consent-first creation.
Describe the change over time and important details to preserve. Start with one subtle action or camera cue rather than rewriting the whole still.
The model synthesizes new frames from the input, so geometry, framing or appearance can drift. Reduce the requested motion and inspect another attempt; exact preservation is not guaranteed.
Choose the model and complete setup in the studio. The estimate reflects the current selection, and some settings require a subscription. Review the displayed requirement before submitting each attempt.
The public studio and this guide are available while signed out. To submit a generation, sign in and make sure the account has enough available Credits. Introductory rewards depend on the account’s eligibility.
