1. Attach the picture
Sign in and drop the photo into the box, or pick one of your elements. Say what it is for if you attach more than one.
Attach the photo and write what happens. The studio writes the scene as timed shots, draws each shot's first frame from your picture, and every video model in the studio starts its clip on that frame. The clip keeps the frame's shape, so a vertical photo makes a vertical clip.
Open the effects on any still: twenty camera moves, and template effects by the hundred. Pick one, see its price on the card, and approve. The result is a clip in your Library.
A clip can be upscaled, given sound, re-framed to another shape, or have its background removed. Each is an effect with its price shown first. The result is a new clip in your Library, and the one it came from stays.
The clip does not start from a description of your photo. It starts from a frame drawn from the photo itself.
Handed a still, the video model takes its frame from the still: portrait in, portrait out.
Save the picture as an element and every later scene can be held to the same person, product or place.
A scene from one photo can still cut: a wide, a close, a detail, each its own clip held to the same picture.
Each shot's first frame is a still you can redraw before a clip is paid for.
Twenty named moves that run on a still directly: a zoom in, a crane up, a whip pan, a dolly zoom.
LTX, Wan, Kling, Seedance and Veo all render from a starting frame. You pick which on the Render card.
A scene's clip and an effect each show their credits before they run. Some effects are priced by the clip's length, measured first.
All three stay in your Library, so a second take starts from the same picture.
Sign in and drop the photo into the box, or pick one of your elements. Say what it is for if you attach more than one.
One line about the motion makes a scene of timed shots. Or open Animate on a still and choose a camera move or an effect.
The scene's Render card, or the effect's card, shows the credits. Approve it and the clip lands in your Library.
