Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to create a video from an image?

Video generation typically takes 2-4 minutes depending on the chosen duration and quality settings. Higher quality and longer videos may take additional time for optimal results.

What makes a good motion prompt?

Effective prompts describe specific, subtle movements like "gentle breeze," "slow camera zoom," or "natural breathing." Focus on realistic motions that complement your image rather than dramatic changes.

What types of images work best for animation?

High-resolution images with clear subjects work best. Portraits, landscapes, and scenes with potential for natural motion (water, hair, clouds) produce excellent results. Avoid overly complex or cluttered images.

Can I control the type of motion in my video?

Yes! Use motion prompts to guide the animation. You can specify camera movements, character actions, environmental effects, or leave it blank for automatic motion detection.

What's the difference between Kling and Hailuo models?

Kling v2.1 offers advanced motion understanding with superior quality, while Hailuo I2V provides faster processing with excellent results. Choose based on your quality needs and time preferences.
