Questions about the image to video tool

What makes a good starting image?
A sharp image with a clear subject. The video keeps the image's shape, so use a vertical photo for vertical videos.
How long does a video take?
Usually 2–6 minutes. You can leave the page: the video appears in your history when it's ready.
What if a video fails?
If the AI can't finish a job, your credits are refunded automatically.
