Start & End Frames to Video
A CLOSER LOOK
Start & End Frames to Video
Create a video transition between a starting image and an ending image. Describe the movement connecting the two frames.
- First input
- The image that should guide the opening composition.
- Second input
- The image that should guide the destination.
- Review
- Inspect the transition between endpoints, not only the first and last thumbnails.
01
Start and End Frames Define the Video Transition
Start & End Frames to Video uses two images to describe where a shot begins and where it should arrive. Place each image in its matching slot, then explain the movement that connects them. This can help explore a camera move, a change in pose or a transition between compatible compositions without leaving the destination entirely to a text prompt.
The two pictures guide the endpoints; they do not specify every intermediate frame. Think about a plausible route between the images. A consistent subject, environment and visual treatment can make the requested transition easier to understand and the output easier for you to evaluate.
02
Choose Compatible Frames for Continuous Motion
Compare subject position, scale, lighting and camera angle before uploading. A close-up face and a distant full-body scene require a larger visual change than two nearby views of the same subject. Large differences can be intentional, but the generated transition may introduce new details or unexpected movement while bridging them.
Write the connecting action in the prompt. For example, ask the camera to move around a performer while the performer turns toward it. Use the supported duration and aspect ratio for the selected model, and keep important content inside the visible frame in both source images.
03
Check the Frames Between Your Two Images
Watch the transition at normal speed and pause around substantial changes. Check whether the subject remains readable, the direction of movement makes sense and the final composition approaches the intended destination. Two attractive endpoint images do not by themselves establish a convincing moving sequence.
If the transition changes too much, try closer source compositions or a simpler connecting action. Download the accepted clip for your editor, where you can trim or combine it with other shots. This tool generates a video transition; it does not create a frame-by-frame animation project or guarantee pixel-identical endpoints.
How to Use Start & End Frames to Video
- 01
Upload the start and end frames
Upload the start and end images in their respective slots. Keep the subject and composition compatible when you want a continuous scene.
- 02
Describe the transition between frames
Describe the action or camera movement between the endpoints. This mode uses models that accept both images.
- 03
Review the generated video transition
Review how the subject changes between frames. Large differences in pose or background may produce unexpected intermediate details.
Example inputs to adapt
Connect Two Compatible Views
The camera makes a slow arc around the performer as they turn toward the light, moving from the starting view toward the ending composition in one continuous shot.
Choose compatible start and end images in their respective slots. The text explains the connection; neither endpoint is a claim of exact pixel reproduction.
Start & End Frames to Video Use Cases
- Explore a planned opening-to-closing composition.
- Bridge two views of the same performer or setting.
- Create a visual transition for a short music teaser.
Video input examples
Move closer to the same stage
Choose compatible wide and close images of the same scene. Describe one continuous camera move connecting the two endpoints.
Turn toward a new view
Keep the character, room and lighting consistent across both endpoint images. Connect the poses with one clear turn rather than several actions.
About this example
These are input plans, not generated transition demos. Supply both actual images in their own slots; a single poster does not stand in for a tested start/end pair.
Move closer to the same stage
Example brief
Move the camera slowly toward the performer, connecting the wide opening frame to the closer final frame. Keep the stage lighting stable and avoid changing the subject.
What you provide
- Start frame: a wide view of your stage and performer.
- End frame: a closer view of the same performer, lighting and setting.
What to expect
A generated transition between the two uploaded endpoints.
What to check
- Check the final composition against the end image.
- Inspect the intermediate frames for sudden changes of subject or setting.
Frame-planning illustration only; supply your own matched start and end images.
Turn toward a new view
Example brief
The character turns slowly from the window toward the room. Connect the two poses with one continuous motion and keep the furniture and lighting coherent.
What you provide
- Start frame: your character facing a window.
- End frame: the same character turned toward the room.
What to expect
One transition clip; unrelated endpoints may produce unpredictable changes.
What to check
- Compare the character, clothing and room throughout the movement.
Scene-planning illustration only; this is not a tested transition pair.
Start & End Frames to Video Questions
Are both a start image and an end image required?
This task is designed around two image inputs in their respective slots. Use Image to Video when you want to animate just one starting image, and review the input requirements of the selected model before submission.
Can the two frames show completely different scenes?
You can explore large changes when the model accepts the images, but continuity becomes harder to predict. A transition between unrelated subjects may introduce unexpected intermediate objects. Compatible subjects and framing give you a clearer basis for judging the result.
Will the ending be exactly the uploaded image?
The ending image guides the requested destination, but exact pixel reproduction is not guaranteed. Inspect the last frames and any details that must be preserved. An editor may still be needed for an exact final hold or graphic.
How much does this task cost?
Review the credit cost displayed for the selected model and output settings before submitting. Available controls, limits and prices depend on that selection. You can prepare the inputs before signing in; submission requires the account and credit checks shown by the workspace.
What should I check before sharing or keeping a result?
