Workflow examples

Image to video AI uses one uploaded still as the first frame and turns a motion description into a short video. It is useful for portraits, products, landscapes, and social posts.

These visual cards illustrate the workflow with concept frames; they are not generated before-and-after results.

Portrait motion
Workflow exampleConcept frame · not a generated result

Portrait motion

Give a still portrait subtle expression, hair, and camera movement without changing the subject.

“Slow camera push-in, a natural blink and slight smile, loose hair moving in a light breeze, preserve the person and framing.”

Product turntable

Turn a product still into a clean, controlled presentation shot.

“Rotate the ceramic vase slowly on its pedestal while highlights travel across the glaze; keep the background still.”

Landscape atmosphere
Workflow exampleConcept frame · not a generated result

Landscape atmosphere

Add depth to a landscape with restrained environmental motion.

“Clouds drift above the valley, grass moves in the foreground, and the camera makes a slow forward glide.”

Water and reflection
Workflow exampleConcept frame · not a generated result

Water and reflection

Add restrained ripples and light movement to a still-life or architecture image.

“Small ripples move across the reflecting pool, sunlight shifts on the facade, and the camera drifts gently to the right.”

Frequently asked questions

Does image-to-video replace my original image?

No. The upload is used as the starting frame and remains separate from the generated video.

Why are some output controls hidden?

Each Kie model exposes different controls. The page only shows the aspect ratios, resolutions, and durations supported by your selected model.

What makes a good starting image?

Use a clear, well-lit image with the subject framed as you want it to appear. Specific motion instructions help preserve that intent.
