How image-to-video works

Your image becomes the first frame of the clip. The video model then imagines how the scene moves — cloth, hair, water, light, weather — while keeping the art style and composition intact.

You steer the motion with a short description: what moves, how fast, and where the camera goes.

Motion prompts that work

  • Ambient motion wins: sway, drift, fall, flicker, ripple
  • One camera move at a time: slow zoom in OR gentle pan
  • Name the moving parts: "hair and skirt sway" beats "make it move"
  • Keep it subtle — small motion looks alive, big motion looks broken
  • Weather adds instant life: rain, snow, petals, fireflies

Your own images welcome

Already have anime art? Import it into a Studio project and animate from there — commissions, fan art you have rights to, or earlier generations.

Or go the full pipeline: generate the image here, storyboard a sequence, and animate every shot into a complete short film.
