Frequently asked questions

Artlist’s image-to-video AI tool turns images into short video clips by adding motion, camera movement, and visual flow. With multiple image-to-video models available, you can animate a single start frame — or, on supported models, use both a start and end frame for smoother transitions and more control.

Image-to-video AI uses an image as the starting frame, then generates motion based on your prompt and selected model. You guide how the scene moves, and the AI creates a smooth video clip from the still image.
