Start with one result you can judge: a still image, an image variation or a short motion study. A focused first attempt makes it easier to decide what to change next.
Choose your starting point
- An idea for a picture: open Image generation and start from text.
- A picture to change: use Image generation with an image.
- A picture to animate: choose Image to video.
- A scene without an opening image: choose Text to video.
For a fuller explanation, read the public image generator, image-to-image, image-to-video and text-to-video pages.
Prepare authorized inputs
Use images you have permission to process. The selected setup defines its file and input limits. If a login redirect is needed, sign in before adding files you would otherwise have to select again. Read the content guidelines before submitting sensitive material.
Write a brief you can revise
For an image, describe the adult subject, setting, framing and light. For a video, add one action and a camera direction. With image to video, focus on what changes from the starting frame.
An adult fictional character turns toward a softly lit window. Medium shot, a steady camera and one small, unhurried gesture.
This is a writing example, separate from the reference demo. Try a focused text-to-video brief in Studio, then change it to fit your idea before submitting.
Compare “make the scene cinematic” with a specific instruction such as “steady medium shot, one small head turn.” The specific version gives you something to inspect. If the turn becomes unstable, remove the camera movement before changing the rest of the scene.
Review the setup and estimate
Choose among the available settings and compare the displayed request estimate with your balance. Check Pricing for current purchase options. Plan for revisions rather than assuming one attempt will deliver the final result.
Inspect one dimension at a time
For a still, check the subject, hands, composition and background. For a video, review the whole clip: action first, then appearance, then framing. Confirm that the movement reaches a useful ending and that changes do not make the result unsuitable.
Before sharing, review permissions and output details. Before another submission, check My creations if the original task’s status is uncertain.
Choose one useful revision
If motion is unstable, simplify the action. If framing is wrong, revise the camera instruction or prepare a better starting crop. Keep other choices steady so the next result helps you assess that change. For recovery steps, visit Help.
