The process utilizes cutting-edge models, such as Kling, Runway, WAN, and others, to automatically generate motion, depth, and camera dynamics. đź–Ľ Uploading an Image Open Creator Studio → Image-to-Video. Click “Upload Image” and select a JPG or PNG file Wait for the image preview to load before adjusting any settings. đź’ˇ Use high-resolution, well-lit images for best results.

Click Generate. Wait while the AI renders frames and stitches them into motion (usually 15 seconds to a few minutes). Preview the result directly inside the Creator Studio. All generated clips are automatically saved to History, where you can download or publish them later. 🎬 Publishing or Downloading When satisfied: Click Download to save the MP4 file locally, or Click Publish to send the animation directly to MyStage.Social. You can then add captions, tags, and choose visibility (Public, Followers-Only, or Private). đź§ Pro Tips for Better Results Start with portraits or full-body shots; they animate more naturally. Choose the Cinematic style for natural camera pans, or the Artistic style for stylized movements. Use the same subject or character image to create a series of animated posts. Keep the original image proportions consistent with your chosen aspect ratio. ⚠️ Troubleshooting IssueCauseFixOutput is staticRe-crop or choose a matching ratioRe-upload a sharper image, increase motionVideo distortedIncompatible aspect ratioCompress image, refresh, and retryGeneration failsFile too large or connection interruptedCompress image, refresh and retryBlurry motionLow quality settingSelect higher quality or longer generation steps Tagged:ExampleFull widthLayout
