Animate images with Start/End Frame

Guide a video with a starting image and, where supported, an ending image.

Updated

Start/End Frame lets you guide the beginning and, on supported models, the ending of a clip. Available frame combinations and duration settings depend on the selected model.

  1. Open Create Video and choose Start/End Frame.
  2. Select a model and add the frame images requested by the form.
  3. If an end-frame slot is available, add a visually compatible ending image. Check any dimension requirements shown.
  4. Describe the movement between the frames, including subject action and camera motion. Complete any required prompt.
  5. Choose the supported settings, review the quote, and generate.

Make the transition easier to follow

  • Use frames with similar subject identity, framing, and overall proportions when you want continuity.
  • For a subtle animation, ask for a small action rather than a complete change of setting.
  • If the frame pair is rejected, check file format, dimensions, and the selected model's requirements.

An end frame is guidance, not a guarantee of an exact frame-by-frame transition.

Try this workflow

Choose a model and add the starting or ending images supported by its current form.
