01
Decide what must match at frame one
Identify the subject position, camera angle, lighting, color, and background elements that define the opening composition.
First Frame Video
Start AI video generation from a controlled first frame
Anchor the opening composition with an image, then guide the motion and camera behavior through the rest of the clip.
Lock the opening composition with a supplied first frameDirect how subject, camera, and environment develop over timeUse first-and-last frames when the destination also matters
Image-led workflow
Protect the opening composition while the scene develops
A strong source image anchors composition and identity while the prompt controls camera movement, subject motion, and progression.
Starting point
Upload the opening frame and choose first-frame or first-and-last mode.
Creative decision
Decide what must match at frame one
Output goal
Use first-and-last frames when the destination also matters
02
Describe the transition after the first frame
Explain what begins moving, how the camera responds, and what changes in the environment instead of repeating the content already visible.
03Use a last frame for a controlled destination
When the final composition matters, provide both endpoints and describe the intended transition without over-constraining every intermediate moment.

Prompt recipe
A first-frame continuation prompt
Begin exactly from the supplied first frame, then introduce gradual subject motion, a deliberate camera path, and a coherent scene progression.

Prepare an image-to-video draft
Choose the frame mode, motion language, and output ratio before opening the generator.How To
Create a usable AI video in three steps
- 01
Upload the opening frame and choose first-frame or first-and-last mode.
- 02
Describe the motion path, camera behavior, and scene progression.
- 03
Generate and compare whether the start, transition, and destination remain coherent.
FAQ
Common questions
What is first-frame-to-video?
It is an image-to-video workflow that uses a supplied image as the exact visual starting point for the generated clip.
When should I use first and last frames?
Use both when the start and destination compositions matter, such as transitions, reveals, or controlled character movement.
Why does the first frame still change?
Preservation varies by model and prompt; simplify motion and make the source image clear when opening-frame accuracy is critical.
