Animate a Still

Bring a photo to life as a short, looping clip.

How it runs

The right model for every step.

The skill studies your image, writes a motion direction that suits it, animates the scene and blends the ends so the clip loops seamlessly. Great for hero banners and social posts.

Every intermediate result is kept with the run, so you can inspect a step, reuse its output or rerun it with different settings.
