Turn prompts or reference frames into short clips and animation results with clear model, duration, and credit guidance.
Motion use cases
Use these examples to compare three clear motion paths: create storyboard sequences, animate a starting frame, or draft a scene from an idea.
Storyboard sequences
Turn storyboard frames, shot plans, and sequential visual ideas into short motion tests for stories, transitions, and scene concepts.
Image to video
Start from a generated scene, character, product frame, or story still, then add camera movement, atmosphere, and subject action.
Text to video
Describe the subject, setting, camera, and mood to create a first-pass clip for cinematic scenes, social drafts, and story experiments.
Use model choice as a practical clip workflow guide. Resolution, duration, audio, quality, source videos, reference frames, and credits vary by supported models.

The generator shows the exact cost before each run, so use this table for quick model selection and confirm settings before spending credits.
Vivify focuses on two clear AI modes: text-to-video for prompt-to-clip creation, and image-to-video for reference-frame animation. Choose the mode that matches the strongest input you have.
Use the AI video generator from text when the scene, camera path, subject movement, pacing, and mood can be described clearly in words.
Use the AI video generator from image references when a product photo, illustrated character frame, composition, or visual continuity should guide the result.
Use references when the AI video clip should preserve product specifics, illustrated character style, layout, or a specific starting composition.
The right Vivify AI video setup depends on what you are making and which limits matter most.
Use image-to-video or reference-frame animation when product shape, packaging, or scene continuity matters more than pure prompt exploration.
Use text-to-video or prompt-to-clip creation for short narrative beats, quick social concepts, and mood-driven scenes with clear pacing.
Use reference frames when an image-to-video clip should preserve product details, illustrated character style, composition, or visual world continuity across the generated motion.
Enable audio only when the selected AI video model offers it, and expect audio-capable runs to change the credit tradeoff.
Strong AI video prompts describe what changes over time and what the model should preserve.
Call out push-ins, pull-backs, tracking, orbiting, pans, depth shifts, or static framing when the camera path matters.
Say what the subject does during the clip, how fast it moves, and what should happen by the final frame.
Short clips need one clear action. Longer supported durations can carry more scene change, but still need a simple motion arc.
When uploading a reference frame for image-to-video, specify what must stay recognizable and what kind of motion the model should add.
AI animation and video clip generation are slower and more credit-intensive than image generation. The selected supported video model controls the tradeoffs.
Resolution, duration, audio, quality mode, and reference inputs can change the number of credits required before each run.
Use audio, 4K, and quality options only on supported models. If a model does not expose an option, choose another path.
Treat the first AI video clip as direction finding. Refine the motion prompt, reference frame, model, or settings for stronger follow-up runs.
