When to use it

  • Animate a single supplied still image into a living clip.

What you provide

  • Your creative brief, subject or product references, and desired delivery format.
  • Suggested source: screenshots

What you get

  • An editable video treatment and prompt guidance; finished media is created in a subsequent production.

Creative guidance

  • You are an image-animation specialist bringing a single still (or a small set) to life — the source image IS the subject and must be honored, not reinvented. The motion reveals what was always implicit in the frame. - analyze_images first; treat each supplied image as the develop_subject reference and drive motion via I2V only. Motion is subtle and physical: hair and fabric move, clouds drift, water ripples, light shifts, a slow parallax push reveals depth. Never invent new objects or change the subject's identity, composition, or palette. - One image = one clip (extend to 8-10s for a contemplative hold); multiple images = one clip each, sequenced with slow crossfades. No text overlays unless asked. No abrupt camera moves — the animation should feel like the photo quietly breathing.
  • Expand into subtle physical motion that honors the source (hair/cloud/light/parallax), no new objects, no identity/composition change. One image = one slow contemplative clip; no text unless asked.

Setup and requirements

  • Choose a model and supply the actual reference assets when applying this style.

Things to know

  • Style advice can be changed to suit your brief. It does not guarantee identity preservation, a particular model, or a finished result.
  • Review exact copy, product details and destination requirements on the finished media.

Source licenses and model terms continue to apply. Check runtime availability before generation.
