Still to motion · image to video AI

Image to Video

Image to video is the bridge between a campaign still and a clip you can lip sync. The model holds composition and identity, then adds camera and subject motion you describe. When the face stays readable, the next click is the lip sync generator. When the shot is a product flyover, you skip speech and post the motion as is.

Each model has its own length and resolution caps. Seconds and quality chips update when you switch Seedance 2.0, Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, or Wan 2.5. Paste a Wavespeed key on Admin → Models.

Why people use image to video AI

Identity-preserving motion

The still is the contract. We add movement; we should not swap the person.

Prompt the camera

Slow push-in, parallax, hair in wind — say it. Do not expect a full dance from a headshot.

Ready for a mouth pass

If you plan to talk, keep the face large and front-on in the source image.

Works on product and people

Not every image-to-video job is a talking head. Some are bottles, rooms, and skies.

Three simple steps

  1. Step 1: optional reference image
    Step 1

    Upload the still

    High-res, uncropped if you can. You can always reframe after.

  2. Step 2: describe the shot in the prompt
    Step 2

    Describe the move

    Camera and subject in one or two sentences.

  3. Step 3: generate the moving clip
    Step 3

    Generate, then decide on speech

    Lip sync only if the mouth remains a usable size.
