Pro Tips

  • The image subject should be clear and well-defined
  • Avoid requesting motion that contradicts the source image
  • Use camera motion prompts for static objects
  • Portrait images work great for head turns and expressions

Limitations

  • Complex actions may not preserve the original image perfectly
  • Very detailed backgrounds may have artifacts during motion
  • Extreme motion requests may cause distortion
  • Text in images may become blurry during animation
