Thomas Creates·Aug 2025

Demo summary

The demonstration shows converting a static cyberpunk image into a video by adding motion prompts for flickering lights and camera movement using the Kling model.

Step-by-step

Select a generated image from your gallery
Click the 'Image to Video' button
Enter a motion prompt describing character movement, environmental changes, or camera motion
Choose the video duration
Select the output quality
Ensure the Kling model is selected
Click to generate the video

Options

Choose between 5-second or alternative durations
Select 'Pro quality' for better results
Select 'Master' quality
Focus prompts on character movement (e.g., shifting eyes) or environmental animation (e.g., camera movement, rising steam)

Watch out for

Processing takes a few minutes to complete
Pro quality option requires specific access levels

Tips

Use descriptive details like 'neon lights flicker' or 'raindrops fall gently' to create an atmospheric mood
Try focusing on environment animation, such as camera movement, to achieve different types of motion from the same image
Use the Pro quality option for noticeably better results if available

Highlights

“We've transformed a static image into a living, breathing scene with realistic movement and atmosphere.”
