AI image to video, with a clearer plan.

Choose your image, describe the movement, and review your motion prompt. Use the full workspace to plan camera, timing, and what stays consistent.

Ready when you are

One image. A little movement.

Draft the motion before spending on a video.

SMALL INSTRUCTIONS, CLEARER MOTION

Give the subject and camera different jobs.

A useful brief explains what happens—and what stays.

01 / ACTION

One visible event.

Try “the background leaves sway gently” instead of “make it dynamic.” A short shot needs enough time for the action to happen. Add another beat only if the ending and next opening can connect clearly.

02 / CAMERA

A movement with a purpose.

A push in directs attention. A pull back reveals context. A locked camera lets the subject carry the movement. Keep the camera instruction separate from the subject’s action so they do not compete.

03 / CONTINUITY

Name the details to preserve.

Specify shape, color, clothing, placement, or lighting when those details matter. State a clear ending. These are targets for a future render; a reference and prompt cannot guarantee exact text or frame-level consistency.

A SMALL, TESTABLE MOTION BRIEF

“Keep the bottle still. Slowly push the camera closer while the background leaves sway. Preserve the amber glass, dark cap, and stone setting. Finish on a steady close view. No music.”

Plan appearance before complex movement.

Use the reference to settle the look. For a more complex sequence, approve an outline and preserve a version before revising it. Static preparation helps clarify the plan, while motion still needs its own test.

Describe a reference first

Three simple starting shots

  • Product reveal: a quiet pull back from a detail to the full product, ending with space for a separate text overlay.
  • Pet portrait: one small head movement in a stable scene. Keep the camera still while testing the subject’s appearance.
  • Illustrated scene: gentle background movement around a readable main character, with a consistent palette and light direction.

Start with the shot your reference can support. Do not add a new setting or complicated action just to make a short clip look busier.

ONE IDEA, CONNECTED STEPS

Your draft comes with you.

Copy a reference prompt, refine an image brief, or move directly into video motion. Each step is optional.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before the next frame.

Can I generate a video here today?

This early preview builds and saves a motion prompt. AI video rendering and video downloads are not connected yet. No generation credits are charged.

Do I need to sign up?

You can draft, copy, and save a plan in this browser without an account. Account sync will be introduced separately.

What makes a good image-to-video prompt?

Name the subject, describe a visible action, specify a camera movement, and explain what should stay consistent. A five-second clip works best with one main event.

Is this unlimited or unrestricted video generation?

No. The current free feature is local prompt drafting. Future video generation will have published usage limits and provider requirements.
