Choose a useful source image

Make your subject easier to recognize before exploring a generated video.

1. Keep the subject clear

Choose a photo where the person, object or product is easy to identify. Avoid a very small subject surrounded by unrelated detail.

2. Look at light and detail

Try an image with visible edges and useful detail. A heavily blurred or obscured subject can make a generated result harder to evaluate.

3. Match the image to your idea

Choose a source that fits the scene or creative direction you want to explore. Follow the app’s input requirements for the selected creation option.

4. Review what changes

Compare the generated video with the source. Check features that matter to you, such as facial details, clothing, product shapes or labels.

Keep your edit focused

Generative video can alter details or invent motion. Keep the original image and review the entire clip before saving, sharing or using it in a project.
