Turn a still image into a short video by describing how the subject, background, and camera should move.


Start a new clip

  1. Click New project and select Prompt to video clip.

  2. Add the image as a reference.

  3. Write a motion prompt that describes the action and camera movement.

  4. Choose the quality and duration, review the credit estimate, and click Generate video.


Animate an image in an existing project

  1. Select the image you want to animate.

  2. Open the option to generate or replace it with a video clip.

  3. Describe the desired motion and generate the result.


Tips

  • Describe one clear movement rather than several competing actions.

  • Mention pacing and camera movement when they matter.

  • Keep the main subject visible and well defined in the source image.

Video clip generation requires Pro.
