What it does

From a still photo to a clip that moves

Every example here is a real photo and the clip VIDIO made from it, with the request that was used.

Your photo, brought to life

Write what should happen and the photo becomes the first frame of an 8-second clip, with camera movement and sound.

Products that turn and shine

An orbit around the product and light sweeping across it, from one packshot.

Pets that look back

A head tilt, a sniff, fur in the breeze. Small, natural motion works best.

Places that change with the light

Clouds drift, lights come on, the camera pushes in. A travel photo becomes a moment.

Names become descriptions

Characters and people are described by how they look, so a request with a name still works.

You write

Make Captain Nova wave at the camera, then fly up out of frame.

The AI animates

The hero in the silver suit and red cape waves at the camera, then flies up out of frame.

Use it in a VibeEdit project

Frequently asked questions

You upload one photo and write what should happen in it. VIDIO turns your request into a detailed video prompt, and the AI video model animates your photo from that first frame: the subject moves, the camera moves, and sound is made to match. You get a short MP4 clip that starts from your picture.

AI photo animation is part of the Pro, Business and Studio plans. It costs 7 credits per second of the finished clip: 56 credits for an 8-second clip and 70 credits for the longest, 10-second clip. If the AI refuses your request, you are not charged, and a run that fails is refunded in full.

Every clip is a 720p MP4 with sound, up to 10 seconds long. Clips are 8 seconds unless you ask for another length (4 to 10 seconds) in your request. A wide photo makes a 16:9 clip and a tall photo a 9:16 clip, or you can pick the shape yourself.

Sexual or nude content, anything harmful involving minors, gore, and requests that make a real, identifiable person say or do something. Photos of recognizable real people may be refused too. Names of people and characters are not sent to the video model: VIDIO turns them into descriptions of how they look in your photo. A refused request costs nothing.

Say what moves first and what follows, how the camera moves (push-in, orbit, tracking shot, slow pan), the mood and the sound, as one continuous shot. For example: "The dog sniffs the air, then turns to the camera and tilts its head, ears lifting. Slow push-in, soft birdsong in the background." You can write in your own language.

Yes. Describe the character by how they look, for example "the white-haired swordsman in a long black coat". If your request names a character or a real person, VIDIO replaces the name with a description of how they look in your photo, because the video model refuses names.

Yes. Download the finished clip and add it to a VibeEdit project like any other footage, so it plays between your other videos, with your music and captions.

I tried your compositing software and I think it is terrific! It works really well in the preview that I did. Blown away, actually.

Such and amazing and fast way to get your video stabilized without the need of having a beefed up PC.

Finally, I can edit like a professional without spending crazy amount of money on software I don't know how to use. Highly recommended for those who are wanting a quick and easy way to remove backgrounds from video.
