Photo to video AI takes one still image and produces a short clip from it. The subject starts moving, the camera drifts, light shifts - and the person in the frame stays the same person, because the clip is generated from your actual photo rather than a new scene built from scratch.
What motion is realistic
Anything the body can do from the pose in your photo: turning, leaning, smiling, breathing, hair movement, undressing, slow camera push-ins. What it cannot do is teleport somebody into a different position across the room. If your request needs a change that large, the frame is edited first so the motion has something to work with.
Two ways in
- Upload a photo - drag it onto the frame area in video mode.
- Use your own generation - press the play icon on any image in your collection and it becomes the starting frame instantly.
Describing the motion
Short beats work better than paragraphs: "slow push-in, wind in the hair, a light smile" gives a cleaner result than a wall of adjectives. If you pick a motion style from the catalogue, its own trigger words are added automatically, and stale words from styles you removed are cleaned out - so the model is never asked for three different things at once.

Common mistakes
- Heavy blur or noise in the source - the clip inherits both.
- Cropping out hands and hips when the action needs them.
- Asking for a completely different pose instead of motion from the current one.
