VideoImage to video

Animate a still image with motion direction

Use when you have a still frame and want to add believable, subtle motion in an image-to-video model.

The prompt
prompt.txt
I am animating a still image with an image-to-video model. The image shows: {{image_description}}.

Write a motion prompt that:
- Describes ONLY what should move and how (subject motion + camera motion separately).
- Keeps the original composition intact (no new objects appearing).
- Uses gentle, realistic motion at the speed: {{motion_intensity}}.
- Mentions any ambient motion (hair, fabric, smoke, water, light flicker) that fits.

Output two short labeled blocks: "Camera:" and "Subject:". No more than 40 words total.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.

Variables

Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.

  • {{image_description}}
  • {{motion_intensity}}
