Image-to-Video Generation
Start with an image and add motion? Easy:

Tips for Success
To get the best results, write detailed prompts with specific details (e.g., mood, style). Experiment if needed, as AI outputs can vary. Be patient—generation times depend on server load, and the platform is free, so there might be occasional delays. An unexpected detail: Wan 2.1 can also generate audio from videos, like adding sound effects to a ferret splashing into water, enhancing your creative projects.
