🧠 Overview

The Image-to-Video tool lets you bring static visuals to life.
Upload a single image, select your animation style and duration, and MyStage.AI transforms it into a realistic or stylized video clip, ready for social media, marketing, or creative storytelling.

The process utilizes cutting-edge models, such as Kling, Runway, WAN, and others, to automatically generate motion, depth, and camera dynamics.

🖼 Uploading an Image

1. Open Creator Studio → Image-to-Video.
2. Click “Upload Image” and select a JPG or PNG file
3. Wait for the image preview to load before adjusting any settings.

💡 Use high-resolution, well-lit images for best results. Avoid heavily cropped or blurry inputs.

▶️ Generating the Video

1. Adjust your settings.
2. Click Generate.
3. Wait while the AI renders frames and stitches them into motion (usually 15 seconds to a few minutes).

🎬 Publishing or Downloading

🧠 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.
