Two paths to video
Image-to-Video (recommended) Generate an image, then animate it. This gives you control over the first frame before committing to a video generation. Maximum duration is five seconds. Text-to-Video Write a prompt and generate a clip directly, without a first frame. Faster to start, but less control over the exact composition and character details.The generation loop
1
Generate a first frame
Use the image generator with the Realism model. Compose the shot carefully — camera angle, character position, and lighting in the first frame carry through to the video. See Workflow.
2
Open a video session
Start a new Session in the video generator. Sessions keep your generations grouped so you can manage multiple concepts separately. See Sessions.
3
Select your path
Choose Image-to-Video to animate your first frame, or Text-to-Video to generate from a prompt directly.
4
Write a motion prompt
Describe the movement and action you want, not just the scene. See Video Prompting.
5
Set resolution and generate
Pick a resolution that matches your first frame. Click Generate and wait for the clip to render.
