USER-PROVIDED EXAMPLE

Miami After Dark

Read prompt

Cinematic open world crime game aesthetic, neon soaked Miami at midnight. Pink and orange sunset fading into electric purple sky. Pastel art deco architecture on Ocean Drive, palm trees silhouetted against the horizon. Vintage supercars cruising a wet boulevard reflecting neon lights, luxury hotels, glowing pink motel signs, distant skyscrapers, helicopter silhouette overhead. 1980s Miami glamour meets modern street culture. Nostalgic film grain, sun faded colours, dramatic cinematic lighting, hazy tropical atmosphere. Realistic digital illustration blended with stylised video game cover art. Rich magenta, turquoise, coral, and midnight blue palette. Bold oversized chrome typography reading "MIAMI" dominates the centre, letters reflecting neon city lights. Iconic cityscape composition, hyper detailed, cinematic, premium album artwork quality. No borders, no additional text.

These are user-provided examples, not verified outputs from the selected model. Adapt the prompt to its supported length and inputs.

MODEL GUIDE

Which image to video model should I use?

Pick by how the photo is used and what the shot needs: a first frame, a reference photo, native audio or a fast draft. Prices are standard credits and are confirmed in the generator.

From an idea to a moving scene

One photo carries the identity

Your upload is the starting frame; the prompt describes how the subject and the camera should move.

Photo templates for known trends

Reference templates take one or two photos and a fixed motion reference, so the choreography is already chosen.

Review before you publish

Check markings, limbs and background first. Completed clips stay private for 30 days with an email reminder before removal.

The Shot Playbook

Six decisions between a photo and a moving shot

6 chapters · about 4 min read

01What it does

What photo to video does here

An image-to-video request uses your photo as the starting frame and your words as the direction. The model keeps as much of the subject as it can — face, markings, clothing, product shape — and animates the motion you describe.

One image is accepted per request in this release (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 10 MB); multi-reference inputs and end-frame controls are not available yet. Template workflows that need two photos, like Hotel Lobby AI, handle their roles separately.

02Photo prep

Prepare the photo before you describe the motion

Most disappointing animations start with the photo, not the prompt. Check:

Subject visible and whole

Keep the face, hands or paws inside the frame; a cropped body gives the model less to preserve.

Sharp, evenly lit, uncluttered

Daylight or soft light, one subject, a simple background.

No watermarks, borders or screenshots

They can be reproduced as if they belonged to the scene.

Rights and people

Use an image you own or have permission to use. Do not upload images of minors without the necessary rights, and never send private reference images to support.

Frame shape

Check the aspect ratios the selected model supports (16:9 and 9:16 are the common pair; MiniMax H3 keeps a photo's original aspect ratio).

03Motion prompt

Describe motion, not the picture

The model can already see the photo, so spend the prompt on what changes: “the subject turns slightly toward the camera and lifts one hand, camera slowly pushes in, keep the background and lighting unchanged.” Name one movement per clip and say what must stay fixed. Short, specific motion reads better than a list of effects, and a 5-second clip cannot hold a full action sequence.

Change this

  • 01One movement per clip
  • 02The camera move
  • 03What the subject does

Keep this

  • 01Face and markings
  • 02Background and setting
  • 03Light and tone

Phrasing examples — illustrative, not generated results:

Example 01

“The dog tilts its head toward the camera and blinks; camera stays still; keep the coat markings and background exactly as they are.”

Example 02

“The product rotates slowly on the table while soft light moves across the label; no change to the label text or shape.”

04Templates

Start from a photo template when the motion is known

Some photo ideas already have a tested direction. The reference templates take one or two photos and a fixed motion reference, so you are not writing a prompt from scratch:

750 credits · 480p1,500 credits · 720p$7.99 for one · $19.99 for three · $29.99 for five
  • AI Pet Dance — 1 pet photo, 10 s, vertical 9:16, silent (Wan 3.0 reference mode; cat pilot validated, other breeds not yet tested).
  • KDA Firestarter AI Pet — 1 photo, 14 s · Bad Times AI / Bad Times Pet AI — 1 photo, 15 s.
  • Hotel Lobby AI / A2O LITE NEON AI / A2O LITE NEON PET AI — 2 photos, 15 s · The First Snow EXO AI — 2 photos, 13 s.
  • Templates use 750 credits at 480p (SD) or 1,500 at 720p (HD) before plan discounts (Starter and Pro 375 / 750; Unlimited 225 / 450), and can also be bought as template packs: $7.99 for one, $19.99 for three, $29.99 for five. Template video is silent — add licensed music in TikTok, Reels or Shorts after download.
05Model picks

Choose a model for photo work

Every connected model accepts a text prompt or one reference image in this workspace. Seedance 2.5, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash and MiniMax H3 are described as text-or-first-frame workflows; Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0 and Grok Imagine Video are described as accepting a photo. For photos:

If a shot fails

Commercial rights follow the model's termsAnd your rights to the input material.

Pricing follows the selected model, resolution and length — the photo itself does not change the rate. A short 480p test on Seedance 1.5 Pro costs 8 standard credits; Wan 3.0 at 480p 5 s costs 50; Seedance 2.0 at 480p 5 s costs 125. Template videos use the fixed 750 / 1,500 credit rates above. The studio shows the account price before submission, and preparing a draft — including saving the photo locally — spends nothing. Kling 3.0 is listed in the library but generation with it is not available here.

A photo improves resemblance; it does not guarantee it. Extra limbs, changed markings, warped product labels, shifting backgrounds and odd motion are possible, especially when the subject is small, cropped or moving in the source photo. Review the clip before publishing. Uploading a photo confirms you have the rights to use it; likeness and commercial rights depend on the model's terms and your input rights. Completed videos are kept privately for 30 days with an email reminder 3 days before removal, and confirmed failed or cancelled tasks return unexpired credits with their original expiry date.

Prompt tips for better videos

  • Lead with the subject and action, then add the setting and light.
  • Use one clear camera movement per shot.
  • Describe motion rather than repeating what is already in the photo.
  • Adapt example prompts to the selected model’s supported length and inputs. Audio must be enabled for sound instructions.

Image to video FAQ

What image formats and sizes can I upload?

One PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 10 MB. A custom generation accepts one reference image in this release; two-photo templates such as Hotel Lobby AI handle their roles separately.

Is my photo uploaded when I select it?

Selecting a photo creates a local preview; continuing saves a draft in this browser. The image reaches the server and the generation provider only when you submit a generation.

Will the person or pet in my photo stay recognizable?

The prompt asks the model to preserve identity, and photo-based workflows usually do better than text alone — but likeness, markings and anatomy can still change. Review the result before publishing.

How much does photo to video cost?

The same rates as text to video for the selected model and settings (for example Seedance 1.5 Pro 480p 5 s = 8 credits; Wan 3.0 480p 5 s = 50). Template videos use 750 credits at 480p or 1,500 at 720p before plan discounts.

Can I animate a photo with two people or two pets?

A custom generation accepts one reference image in this release. Two-photo templates such as Hotel Lobby AI and A2O LITE NEON AI are the supported route for two roles.

What happens if the result fails or I need it again later?

A failed or cancelled task returns unexpired credits with their original expiry date. Finished clips stay in your private library for 30 days, with an email reminder before removal.

Are the sample clips verified outputs of my photo?

No. The sample clips were supplied by the site owner with their prompts and reference material; they are creative references, not verified outputs of a photo you upload.

Can I use a photo-to-video result commercially?

Commercial use depends on the selected model's terms and your rights to the uploaded photo and prompt. Review those terms before publishing; ZoopFizz does not guarantee clearance of third-party material.
