Introducing Leonardo Motion 2.0 on WaveSpeedAI: Transform Your Images into Cinematic Videos

The world of AI-powered video generation has reached an exciting new milestone. WaveSpeedAI is thrilled to announce the availability of Leonardo Motion 2.0, an advanced image-to-video model that transforms static images into smooth, cinematic video clips with unprecedented quality and control.

Whether you’re a content creator producing social media videos, a marketer building product demonstrations, or a creative professional developing storyboards, Leonardo Motion 2.0 delivers the realistic motion and professional aesthetic you need—now accessible through WaveSpeedAI’s fast, reliable inference API.

What is Leonardo Motion 2.0?

Leonardo Motion 2.0 is Leonardo AI’s next-generation image-to-video model, representing a significant leap forward from its predecessor. This advanced model takes a single image (or text prompt) and generates 5-second video clips featuring dramatically improved motion coherence, subject stability, and cinematic quality.

Developed by Leonardo AI—now part of the Canva family following their July 2024 acquisition—Motion 2.0 has been engineered to understand spatial relationships and physical motion in ways that previous models struggled to achieve. The result is video content that moves as you’d expect in real life, with lighting that naturally interacts with scene elements.

Key Features

Enhanced Motion Coherence Say goodbye to the flicker, wobble, and geometric distortion that plagued earlier AI video generators. Motion 2.0 delivers sharper continuity between subjects and backgrounds, producing videos that feel polished and professional.

Stable Subject Integrity One of the most impressive improvements in Motion 2.0 is how characters and objects maintain their identity throughout the video. Even during complex camera movements and fast action sequences, subjects no longer “melt” or distort—a common issue with first-generation video AI.

Higher Aesthetic Quality Motion 2.0 produces video with a distinctly filmic look. Expect cinematic lighting, richer textures, finer detail, and a stronger sense of depth that elevates your content above typical AI-generated video.

Improved Motion Control Camera movement prompts like “slow dolly-zoom,” “rapid orbit,” or “handheld micro-jitter” now translate more accurately to the final output. This gives creators unprecedented control over the cinematographic language of their videos.

Fast Generation Speed Time is money in content production. Motion 2.0’s optimized inference means you can iterate quickly, testing different prompts and approaches until you achieve exactly the look you’re after.

Flexible Aspect Ratios Create content optimized for any platform with support for both 16:9 landscape videos and 9:16 vertical formats—perfect for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Real-World Use Cases

Social Media Content

Nearly half of marketers now use AI video generation in their workflows, and Motion 2.0 is perfectly positioned for this trend. Transform product photos into engaging video posts, create dynamic story content, or produce scroll-stopping Reels in minutes rather than hours.

Product Marketing

Showcase your products with professional 360° orbit shots, smooth dolly movements, and studio-quality lighting—all generated from a single product image. Motion 2.0’s ability to preserve brand colors and surface materials makes it ideal for maintaining visual consistency across your marketing.

Storyboarding and Previsualization

Film and video production teams can use Motion 2.0 to create believable previsualization content with authentic camera language. Test shot compositions, movement, and timing before committing to expensive production resources.

Logo and Title Animation

Create polished motion graphics for intros, outros, and title cards. Motion 2.0’s controlled cinematic moves and smooth transitions deliver broadcast-ready results.

Creative Storytelling

From animated illustrations to narrative sequences, Motion 2.0 brings static artwork to life. Add subtle environmental movement—dust motes floating, hair blowing in the wind, clouds drifting—to create immersive, atmospheric content.

Getting Started with Leonardo Motion 2.0 on WaveSpeedAI

WaveSpeedAI makes accessing Leonardo Motion 2.0 simple and cost-effective. Here’s how to get started:

1. Access the Model Visit Leonardo Motion 2.0 on WaveSpeedAI to explore the model’s capabilities and documentation.

2. Prepare Your Input Write a detailed prompt describing your desired scene, subject, motion, lighting, and mood. Optionally, provide a reference image to guide the generation.

3. Configure Settings Choose your aspect ratio (16:9 for landscape, 9:16 for vertical) and submit your request.

4. Generate and Iterate Review your results and refine your prompts as needed. With WaveSpeedAI’s fast inference, you can quickly experiment with different approaches.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Be explicit about camera movements: Use specific verbs like dolly, pan, tilt, or orbit, along with speed indicators (slow, medium, fast)
• Specify lighting and materials: Mention backlight, rim light, volumetrics, or surface qualities like glossy or matte
• Keep prompts focused: Remove conflicting style words to improve motion coherence
• Set appropriate motion strength: Moderate settings (around 3-4) often produce the most professional results without warping artifacts

Example Prompts

• “A lone hiker at golden hour; slow dolly-in, gentle wind in grass, soft rim light, shallow depth of field, cinematic grade.”
• “Minimal product hero on pedestal; 360° orbit at medium speed, studio key light with soft fill, glossy reflections.”
• “Noir alley at night; handheld micro-jitter and push-in, neon bounce light, light rain, fog rolling through.”
