Tips to Get the Most Out of the Tool
- Choose a high-resolution image: the better the original photo, the better the final video will look.
- In your prompt, be specific: mention motion direction (zoom, pan, rotate), style (cinematic, surreal, vintage), and mood (dramatic, calm, energetic). This will guide the AI.
- Consider the final output format: if you plan to publish on vertical social platforms, think about how the motion will look in portrait ratio.
- Preview the result and if necessary, refine the prompt or try a different template — little tweaks can make a big difference.
- Explore the template gallery first: selecting a template that aligns with your vision can save time and yield better results.
Why It Matters in Today’s Digital Landscape
In a world saturated by visuals, static photos no longer cut it. Motion draws attention, evokes emotion, and holds viewers longer. The transition from image → video opens up new ways to engage, surprise, and delight your audience. By turning plain photos into moving stories, you differentiate yourself and increase the shareability and impact of your content.
