No. You get the prompt. Paste it into the model you already use, with the photo.
Turn a still into a clip that only moves where you said.
Name the photo, then name the motion. The prompt tells the model what is frozen.
The prompt is text. Your photo stays with you until you paste it into a model.

Write the brief
A motion brief, not a mood
“Make it cinematic” gives the model permission to change the face, the room, and the time of day.
What is already there
People, clothes, and the place. This is the lock.
What is allowed to move
Wind, water, a push-in, a hand. One or two things.
What must not appear
New limbs, new furniture, a different face. Say the ban out loud.
One photo, a few motions
Same still, different second sentence.
Push and atmosphere
Hover · demoCamera in, world barely alive.
A single gesture
Hover · demoOne action, then a hold.
Product turn that is not a turn
A light shift, because a full spin invents the back.
Three steps
Say what the photo is
Subject, place, light. No story yet.
Say what moves
Camera or subject. Not both, unless the move is tiny.
Paste with the image
The prompt without the image is just a wish.
What a vague line buys you
Retries are the expensive part. The brief is the cheap part.
Mood words only
Epic, viral, and cinematic do not name a motion.
The fix: Write the camera and the one thing that moves.
A plot in five seconds
A still cannot become a chase.
The fix: One beat. Cut to a second generation if you need a second beat.
Asking for the unseen side
The back of a head or a product was not photographed.
The fix: Stay on the visible side.
Frequently asked questions
How long should the clip be?
Four or five seconds. Longer clips wander.
Can I describe two motions?
One camera move or one subject action. A second motion belongs in the next shot.
Your photo already has a move in it
Write the still, write the motion, copy the prompt.
