How to plan an image-to-video prompt

1. Choose a clear starting image

Choose an image with a distinct subject and enough room for the movement you imagine. The local draft accepts PNG, JPEG and WebP files up to 5 MiB.

2. Describe one movement

Start with one action, then add a camera movement or lighting cue if useful. Note what should stay still. A short, specific draft is easier to revise later.

Three starting points

• Nature: “A leaf sways gently in the breeze as the camera slowly moves closer.”
• Product: “Light moves slowly across the bottle while the camera stays still.”
• Scene: “Thin clouds move over the mountains while the landscape stays in frame.”

These are writing examples, not results generated here. The eventual effect depends on the model and starting image.

A template for your motion prompt

Describe the subject and its movement first. Then add only the camera movement and lighting that matter to your idea.

Template: “[Subject] moves [action]; the camera [camera movement]; [lighting or mood].”

Example: “A cup rests on a table; steam rises slowly; the camera stays still in soft morning light.”

This template helps you write an idea; it cannot guarantee a result. The starting image and chosen provider affect any later output.

How can I make a prompt more specific?

Instead of “Make the image come alive,” say what should move and what should stay still.

For example: “Leaves move gently in the wind; the tree trunk stays still; the camera is fixed.” For another variant, change one detail and save both drafts separately.

These are writing examples. Generation is offline, so you cannot test their effect here yet.

3. Review and save your draft

Try an aspect ratio in the local preview; it does not confirm supported output formats. “Download draft” saves your prompt and preview settings as a JSON file; it does not include your image. Unsaved inputs are lost on reload, and you will need to select the image again.

Common draft questions

What if my prompt has too many ideas?

Start with one movement and save separate variants. This makes the wording easier to compare later.

Which images can I prepare?

Choose an image you have permission to use. In the preview it stays in your browser; the downloaded draft contains only text and settings.

What is not available yet?

The preview does not create videos, upload images or accept payment. The model, duration and price have not been confirmed.
