# Image-to-Video

## What is Image-to-Video?

**Image-to-Video** mode allows you to generate a video by providing a start and end frame. The model uses these reference images to create smooth transitions, generating intermediate frames that connect the start and end, turning static images into dynamic video content.

{% hint style="info" %}
This mode is ideal for turning still images into short video sequences, whether you’re looking to create motion between two scenes or develop a unique visual flow.
{% endhint %}

### How to Use?

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Select the "Image-to-Video" Mode**: From the video mode options click on Add image which will open the modes tray, choose **Image-to-Video** to start the process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Upload Start and End Frames**: Provide two key images—one for the start of the video and one for the end. These frames serve as the basis for the model's video generation.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Set Parameters**: Choose the video duration, resolution, and output format that best suits your needs.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Generate the Video**: Click **Generate**, and the model will create a seamless video transitioning between your start and end frames.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### **Example Scenarios You Can Create:**

* **Scene Transitions**: Turn a static image of a landscape into a moving scene by generating a transition that shifts from day to night or from one weather condition to another.
* **Object Movement**: Animate a still image of a character or object to create a movement sequence, like a car driving down a street or a person walking through a scene.
* **Artistic Flow**: Use the images to create artistic motion, where elements such as lighting or background change gradually from the start frame to the end frame.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.imagine.art/creative-suite/video-tools/image-to-video.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
