How it works

Use the tool as a repeatable creative workflow: choose a strong input, describe the change clearly, then review and iterate.

1

Start with a clear source image

Use a sharp portrait, product image, character render, or campaign visual. A clean subject and readable background give the video model stronger visual anchors.

2

Describe motion, not only style

Prompts work best when they include camera movement, subject action, mood, and pacing. For example: slow push-in, hair moving in the wind, cinematic light, soft background motion.

3

Review the first seconds

Check identity, hands, product edges, and background stability before iterating. Small prompt changes usually work better than rewriting everything.

Prompt tips

  • Mention the main subject first, then the camera movement.
  • Use concrete motion verbs such as turning, walking, smiling, zooming, or rotating.
  • Keep brand or product details simple when the image contains text or logos.
  • Avoid asking for many scene changes in one short clip.

Quality checklist

  • The uploaded image is high resolution and not heavily compressed.
  • The subject is visible without important details cropped off.
  • The motion prompt describes one clear action or camera move.
  • The final clip preserves the subject and does not introduce unwanted artifacts.
