Convert Image to Video

Convert to Video is the fastest way to bring a single image to life. It turns an existing image into a short video clip by adding motion, pacing, and cinematic direction—without requiring a full video setup.

This workflow is ideal for quick animations, testing ideas, or creating clips that you can later extend or combine.

#Settings:

#Cinematic Direction Prompt

The Cinematic Direction Prompt describes how the image should move and feel over time.

Instead of redefining the image itself, this prompt focuses on:

• camera behavior (push-in, pull-back, handheld, orbit)
• pacing (slow, fast, rhythmic, drifting)
• cinematic style (music video, film shot, documentary, abstract motion)

Example

Rock music video, fast paced, slow shutter speed

Think of this as directing a shot, not rewriting the scene.

#Presets and Custom Direction

You can choose a preset for common cinematic styles or write your own custom direction.

Presets are a great starting point if you want predictable results.
Custom prompts give you full control when you already know the motion you want.

#Include Image Prompt and Style

When enabled, Sogni automatically carries over:

• the original image prompt
• the image’s visual style

This helps maintain consistency between the still image and the generated video.

Recommended: Leave this enabled unless you intentionally want the motion to reinterpret the image.

#FPS and Duration

• FPS (Frames Per Second)
  Controls how smooth motion appears.
  • 16 FPS: cinematic, slightly stylized motion
  • 32 FPS: smoother, more fluid motion
• Duration
  Sets the total length of the clip.

Longer clips take more time and cost more to render, so starting short is usually best.

#Loop

When enabled, the clip is generated with looping in mind, making it suitable for seamless repeats or background motion.

Best used for:

• ambient scenes
• subtle camera motion
• abstract or rhythmic visuals

#Create Video

Once you’re ready, click Create Video to start rendering.

• Video rendering runs on Fast Supernet
• Currently supports Wan 2.2
• Progress appears in the Activity Window
• You can continue working while the job runs

When finished, the clip can be previewed, saved to the gallery, extended using frame references, or combined with other clips.

#Tips for Better Results

• Images with clear depth (foreground / background separation) animate best.
• If motion feels too static, add directional cues like slow push forward or camera drift.
• If motion feels chaotic, simplify the prompt and reduce stylistic adjectives.
• Short clips are easier to refine—extend them later using first/last frame continuity.
