A clip that starts from a still keeps the product that you approved. A clip from words only can change the product in every frame. This guide starts from a still on the Image page and makes a 6-second clip with one slow camera move on the Video page.

What you get

A 6-second clip of your still with one camera move, for $0.33.

Time to read

About 4 minutes. The steps take about 5 minutes, and the model takes 1 to 2 minutes to make the clip.

​
The example

The start frame is the first take from Make four product stills from one prompt. The prompt asks for a slow push-in and the steam, and nothing else.

A slow push-in on the kettle, on Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro (6-second setting): 1364×768, 5.9 seconds, no sound. Model spend: $0.33 at the prices of November 2026.

And this is the process in the studio, with Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro. This run animated a new take from the Image guide.

The steps on the Video page with Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro. Model spend: $0.33. The wait for the clip (about 70 seconds) is cut. 34 seconds, no sound.

​
What you need

  • The free and open source Vinci studio, with live spend on (the install is in step 1 of the Image guide)
  • A model provider key (this example uses Wavespeed)
  • A still that you like: make one on the Image page, or use your own picture

​
Steps

1

Start from a still

On the Image page, hover the still and click Animate. The Video page opens, with the still as the Start frame. You can also drop your own picture on the start frame.
2

Describe the move, not the picture

The still already shows the product. Write only what moves: the camera, and one or two small things in the scene. The example prompt:
“Nothing else moves” helps to keep the product as it is in the still.
3

Pick a model

Click Change and pick a model. The form then shows only the lengths, shapes and sizes that the model takes. The example uses Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro, which makes 6-second clips only.
4

Pick the length and the shape

Pick the length under Duration. Under Aspect, pick the shape of the still: 16:9 in the example.
5

Check the price, then generate

The price is on the Generate button: $0.330 for Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro. Click Generate one time. The clip shows in History when the model is done, after 1 to 2 minutes.
6

Check the clip to the last frame

Play the clip to the end, and look at the product in the last frame: the shape, the label and the color. If the product changes, ask for a smaller move, or try a different model.
One move in each clip. Ask for one push-in, one pan or one tilt. A small, slow move keeps the product steady.
Hailuo 2.3 Fast Pro makes 768p clips in the studio: 1364×768 at 16:9. The Quality chip shows 768p. The walkthrough was recorded before that label was fixed, so it shows 1920x1080. Check the size of a clip before you put it in an edit.

​
Before you use a clip

  • The product in the last frame matches the still
  • The clip has one move, and the move is slow
  • The clip has the shape of the still
