Cinematic from one frame

Direction and motion are inferred from the source image. No motion-graphics studio in the loop.

Hero-banner spec out of the box

Output is encoded for site hero (16:9), Reels (9:16), and CTV (16:9 1080p) without re-renders.

Pitch-friendly

Agencies generate motion comps during the pitch, not after winning it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your source image

    Hero photo, key art, or a single frame from a stock pull. The renderer extends it into motion.

    Replaces: A 1-day cinema-camera shoot.

  2. 2

    Pick motion direction

    Push-in, pull-out, parallax, slow pan. Each preset matches a common hero rhythm.

    Replaces: A motion designer's brief-and-revisions cycle.

  3. 3

    Generate

    One render, around 90 seconds. Output is a 6-8 second 1080p clip on the pro tier.

    Replaces: Director, DP, and edit days.

  4. 4

    Place on hero

    Drop the MP4 into your CMS, paid-social Reel slot, or CTV ad slot.

    Replaces: Editor handoff and platform-specific encodes.

Questions and answers

What duration and resolution do I get?
6-8 seconds, 1080p on the pro tier. CTV-grade encodes are available via the API.
Will this work with key art that has type on it?
Best results come from clean source images. Type is preserved but not animated; for typographic motion use a motion-graphics tool.
Can I match my brand color grade?
Yes — your brand kit's palette and tone notes apply to the render.
Is the motion looping or one-shot?
Both are available. Default is a one-shot intended for hero placements; the API supports loop output.
Can I use this for paid social?
Yes. Output meets the spec for paid Meta and TikTok hero placements.
What about audio?
Output is silent video. Add a music bed in your edit tool of choice.
