How to turn an image into an AI video

In the Forgeborn video studio a picture can start a video in two ways: as the first frame of the clip, or as a reference image the model follows (a character, a product, a place).

8 video models take a start frame and 10 take reference images. The studio shows the credit price before you generate.

Step by step

1. Open the video studioPick a video model that takes images (the list below).
2. Add your picturePut it on the Frames tab as the start frame, or on the References tab as a reference image.
3. Describe the motionWrite what happens and how the camera moves, for example “she turns to the camera, slow push in”.
4. Choose length and qualitySet the length, resolution and aspect ratio the model offers; the credit price updates as you change them.
5. GenerateStart the job; the video appears in your library, and ForgeCut lists it under Generations to edit.

Tips

• A start frame keeps the picture exactly as the first frame; a reference image lets the model place it in a new shot.
• Use a sharp picture in the aspect ratio you want the video in.
• Failed jobs are refunded.
