Live in the studio
AI Image to Video Generator
Your still image, brought to life.
Start from a picture you like and tell the studio how it should move. The image stays true to itself, but now it breathes.

What this tool does
Image-to-video on trendshiftlabs animates a reference frame with a motion prompt. Wan 2.2 A14B and Wan 2.7 are available in the studio. Wan 2.7 also supports source video continuation and optional audio.
You can open the studio app and look around without signing in. Generating spends monthly credits on a Starter, Creator, or Pro plan. Outputs save to your gallery so you can reuse them in other tools.
Who image-to-video is for
Start here when a still already has the look: a product hero, a character keyframe, or a text-to-image winner. Animating that frame usually preserves identity better than hoping a text-to-video prompt recreates it.
Wan 2.7 also supports end frames, continuation, and audio when you need more control than a single image push.
Animation from a single frame
Image to Video keeps the look of your frame and adds the motion you describe. It also continues existing clips on Wan 2.7.
- The image leads
- Colors, faces, and composition stay faithful to your original. Motion is added, not invented over it.
- Direct the movement
- 'Slow zoom in', 'hair blowing in the wind', 'camera circles the subject'. You write the direction.
- Set an end frame
- Give a target frame and the clip moves from one to the other. Great for transitions.
- Continue a clip
- On Wan 2.7 you can extend an existing video instead of starting from a still.

Motion that respects the frame
Ask for modest motion first: parallax, slow orbit, cloth sway, camera drift. Big action from a static product shot often warps the subject. If you need a hard cut to a new pose, generate a second key still and use it as an end frame where the model allows.
Keep the source sharp. Soft or tiny inputs make mushy video. Upscale a keeper still before you animate if the pixels are weak.
Practical tips
- Describe the camera move separately from the subject action.
- Avoid asking for new objects that are not in the still.
- For faces, smaller motion looks more natural.
- Preview the whole clip; mid-frame glitches hide in the first second.
How you use it
Pick your frame
A generation or your own upload.
Describe the motion
What moves, and how fast.
Watch it play
Rendered clips save to your gallery.
What breaks first
Hands, teeth, and fine patterns still fail more than large shapes. Text inside the image may shimmer. Extreme zooms invent detail that was never there.
Video jobs cost more credits than stills. Nail the still first.
Stills that became scenes
Living portraits
Subtle motion that makes a photo feel present.
Product turns
A still product shot becomes a slow reveal.
Animated art

Questions about Image to Video
- Can I continue a clip?
- On Wan 2.7, source video continuation is available in the studio when you need the next beat from footage you already generated.
- Should I animate before or after background removal?
- Animate the full frame when motion needs context. Cut out afterward if you need a transparent subject for editing.
