Google Vids: Animate an image to continue a scene

Demo summary

The user takes a screenshot of a generated video frame and uses the 'animate an image' feature to create a follow-up shot where the character turns around.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to the 'Animate an image' section
  2. Upload the screenshot or video frame you want to continue
  3. Enter a prompt describing the action that happens next in the scene
  4. Run the generation
  5. Create a new block and insert the generated clip
  6. Trim the frames to smooth out any glitches between the two clips
  7. Select a transition, such as 'Flicker', to blend the sequence

Options

  • Select from various transition styles to connect clips

Watch out for

  • Initial generations may contain glitches or 'weird' artifacts that require re-running the prompt

Tips

  • Trim frames manually until you find the perfect transition point to hide visual glitches
  • Use a transition like 'Flicker' to mask the jump between the original frame and the new animation
