Best Use Cases

• Image-to-video animation — Generate motion from a single start image.

Pro Tips

• Use a clear start image with the main subject visible.

• Keep prompts focused on visible motion, camera behavior, lighting, and mood.
• Use 480p for quick testing, 720p for standard output, 1080p for higher-resolution results, and 4k for maximum-resolution output.
• Keep generate_audio enabled when you want the video to include synchronized native audio.
• Choose an aspect ratio that matches your final format, such as 9:16 for vertical content or 16:9 for widescreen video.
