Animate an image the way you want
Image to video starts the clip on your picture, so the subject, framing and colours stay yours. Add a second image as the last frame and the model plans the motion between the two.
The prompt says what happens: the action, how the camera moves and what we hear. The video takes the shape of your first image, at up to 2K on MiniMax H3.
Images need 256–5760 pixels on each side and a width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5; the form checks your file before you pay and tells you exactly what's off.
