File checks happen first
The uploaded file is validated for type and size up front, so a rejected export is caught before you write the prompt.
SOURCE CRAFT
An uncensored workflow still depends on the source frame. This page covers resolution, crop, lighting, and the prompt patterns that keep motion readable.
Illustration only. Open Image to Video to upload a frame and see the live settings.
This preview never uploads, stores, or generates media.
Open Image to VideoSource quality, settings, and reproducibility are the three levers that decide whether a clip is usable.
The uploaded file is validated for type and size up front, so a rejected export is caught before you write the prompt.
Duration and resolution follow the selected model, and both are visible on the form beside the estimate.
Every accepted request is kept with its source and prompt, so a working combination can be reloaded and adjusted.
A repeatable loop: one frame, one motion, one short test, then a final run.
Choose a frame with one clear subject and a background that does not compete. Crop before uploading, not after.
Write a single movement plus one light note. Avoid describing a second camera move, a new costume, or a scene change.
Run a short version first. If the motion reads, re-run at the setting you want to keep rather than starting over.
Three source types that reliably survive the transition to motion.
A single subject against a plain wall has nowhere for the model to invent detail, so the motion stays on the subject.
Side-lit portraits give the motion something to change: highlights shift and shadows deepen without the pose breaking.
Fabric, hair, and smoke respond to small motion well and hide the artifacts that large moves expose.
What the model cannot fix for you, regardless of prompt detail.
Motion cannot repair a soft or noisy source. If the still is unusable, regenerate or re-shoot it instead of adding prompt detail.
The canvas comes from the file. A different aspect ratio needs a different source image.
Adult content stays subject to the same consent and adulthood rules as every other mode.
No particular motion outcome is promised, and results are not cleared for commercial use by default.
File requirements, motion sizing, and the two rules that keep a still from warping.
Sharp, evenly lit, and uncluttered. The model inherits compression artifacts, clipped highlights, and busy backgrounds, and it will usually make them worse once movement starts.
JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 5 MB. Larger files are rejected rather than silently downscaled, so export a clean copy at the target crop beforehand.
The first frame is fixed, so subtle motion reads best: a push, a drift, fabric settling, a light change. Large moves tend to warp anatomy or smear the background.
Keep the camera and the subject from moving at once. If the camera tracks, hold the pose; if the subject moves, hold the camera.
The source sets the canvas. Pick a crop you already like, or regenerate the still at the right ratio instead of asking the prompt to reframe.
Five to eight seconds is the usual working range, and anything past six seconds needs a monthly plan. Longer runs cost more and give distortion more time to accumulate.
Upload a clean frame, describe one motion, and check the estimate. Source quality decides most of the result.
