Her dress and hair are blowing in the wind. 4sec-6sec the woman magically causes the staff in her hand to disappear. She smiles with an evil smile. 7sec-15sec She holds out her arms and large bat wings appear from her back draping down from her arms. (the wings should be attached to her as the wings are attached to a bat). She turns her back to the camera and jumps off the cliff flying towards the castle in the distance, wings flapping like a bat. She should have bat wimgs and not bird wings. The sketch art anime style should be used throughout the video just like the reference image1"View full promptReplaces the prompt only. Your image and settings stay unchanged.

Flying Witch Departure
akiraA Japanese girl around 13 years old. Short black hair with a delicate adolescent expression, mixing anxiety and expectation. Wearing a simple black A-line knee-length dress with slightly puffed long sleeves and no decoration. Black tights and simple flat shoes. A large red ribbon on her head. The girl is straddling a bamboo broom, sitting firmly with both legs. She is leaning forward, gripping the handle with both hands, clearly maneuvering and flying the broom. The setting is a quiet residential area at night. A European-style house on a green hill with white walls, wooden textures, a triangular roof, and a chimney. The house sits normally on the ground surrounded by gardens and greenery. A full moon in the sky illuminates everything with soft moonlight. The girl slowly floats up from the eaves of the house and ascends into the night sky. The ribbon and skirt flutter naturally in the wind. The camera follows smoothly from behind, capturing the movement from floating to ascending in a single sequence. Realistic yet cinematic, nostalgic, and slightly fantastical tone.View full promptReplaces the prompt only. Your image and settings stay unchanged. Adjust it to fit your image.

How to Turn an Image into a Video with AI
A useful image-to-video workflow starts with a clean source frame, describes motion in layers, and evaluates the first result before increasing complexity.

Image to Video FAQ
What images work best for AI video generation
Use a sharp image with one clear subject and good separation from the background. Photos, illustrations, product images, and generated artwork can all work well.
How can I animate a photo with AI
Upload one photo, choose a motion reference or describe how the subject and camera should move, then select a model. If you want to start from a written scene without an image, use the AI text to video generator.
Can I Animate Product Photos and Illustrations
Yes. Product photos, posters, illustrations, and AI artwork can all be used as starting frames. For products, try a simple camera move or subtle background motion. For illustrations, keep the composition steady and animate selected elements such as light, smoke, or water for a more consistent result.
Do I need an image to video prompt
No. You can start with only an image. A short prompt describing subject movement, camera behavior, pace, or atmosphere gives the model more direction.
How Do I Write a Better Image to Video Prompt
Use a clear order: main subject, one primary action, camera movement, pace, and atmosphere. Start simple, such as a person turning slowly while the camera pushes in and a breeze moves their hair. If the result is unstable, reduce simultaneous actions before adding more style details. For ready-made examples, explore the Gemini video prompts.
Which AI video models support image to video
The model menu only shows currently available options that accept image input. Controls can vary by model, so choose the model that fits the motion and level of control you need. Compare the options in the AI video generator.
Can I Change Aspect Ratio Quality and Sound
It depends on the selected video model. The interface only shows controls supported by that model, which may include aspect ratio, quality, reference mode, and sound. If an option is hidden or locked to automatic, the current model or mode does not allow a manual override.
How Can I Keep the Subject Consistent
Use a sharp image with a clearly visible subject and keep the prompt focused on one primary motion. Avoid asking for large changes to pose, face, clothing, and background at the same time. If identity drifts, reduce motion, simplify the prompt, or try another model while keeping the same key subject description.
Can I use Seedance 2.0 for image to video
Yes. Seedance 2.0 is available in the model menu for image to video creation and works well for directed motion and cinematic scenes.
Can I use Veo 3.1 for image to video
Yes. Veo 3.1 can be selected for image to video when it is available in the model menu. It is a useful option for polished motion and scene continuity.
