FAQ

Before you create

What is AI image-to-video?

AI image-to-video animates a still reference frame. It uses the image to guide the subject and composition, then follows your prompt for motion, camera behavior, atmosphere, and optional sound.

What makes a good image-to-video reference?

Choose a sharp image with a clear subject, readable depth, and enough visual room for movement. A single intentional pose and a clean composition are easier to animate than a crowded frame with many unrelated actions or obscured details.

How do I describe motion without changing the image?

State what should remain fixed first, then ask for one or two movements. For example: keep the product and camera framing unchanged; add a slow turntable rotation and subtle light sweep. Specific, limited motion helps preserve the first-frame identity.

Can I animate people, products, and landscapes?

Yes. Image to Video can be used for portraits, product reveals, environments, illustrations, and campaign key art. Results are strongest when the requested motion is physically plausible and supported by the source image, such as a camera push, fabric movement, drifting light, or a natural gesture.

How long does image-to-video generation take?

Most jobs finish in a few minutes. Processing time can vary with model demand, output duration, resolution, motion complexity, and audio settings; Cinel keeps the task visible in your workspace while it is processing.

Can I use image-to-video results commercially?

Commercial use depends on your plan, selected model, source image rights, and applicable terms. Only animate material you have permission to use, and confirm the relevant policy before a paid campaign, client delivery, or resale.
