Image to Video

Use an image reference as the first visual anchor for a generated clip.

What image to video does

Image to video uses an image as the visual starting point for a clip. It is the best first video workflow when a subject, product, character, or scene needs to stay recognizable.

Prepare the image

Before generating, check:

  • the main subject is clear
  • the frame has enough space
  • the style is already close to what you want
  • the image does not contain distracting defects

Fix the image first if needed.

Generate the clip

  1. Place an Image node on the canvas.
  2. Add or select a Video node.
  3. Connect the Image node to the Video node.
  4. Write a short motion prompt.
  5. Choose visible settings.
  6. Click Generate.
  7. Preview the result.

What to adjust

If the subject changes too much, use a clearer image. If the motion is wrong, make the prompt shorter and more direct.
