Choose the starting frame
Image-to-video needs a clear source: a main subject, readable composition and enough detail. The coastal example on our homepage starts from a separate AI image.
Describe motion
Specify what moves: the camera, waves, a vehicle or a person. One clear action often suits a short clip, such as a gentle camera approach and moving water.
Respect model limits
Duration, resolution, aspect ratio and keyframe support depend on the model. Not every tool supports both a first and last frame.
Consider the whole clip’s cost
Pricing depends on the model and settings, so a per-second rate is not a final task estimate. GPTAID is checking estimates against actual costs before enabling user generation.
Review the entire result
Check movement, object geometry and unwanted details throughout the clip. A good image does not guarantee good animation. Keep the prompt and settings so you know what to change next time.
