Workflow
- Confirm the correct first frame is selected in the shot gallery
- Enter a video description describing the motion and action you want to see
- Select the shot duration to match your storyboard timing
- Select the camera movement (static, pan, tilt, dolly, etc.) that fits your shot
- Click Generate Video and let Automat render the clip (usually 2–3 minutes)
- Review the playback, tweak settings if needed, and regenerate until satisfied
You can navigate away from the page while rendering—Automat will keep processing in the background.
Camera motion precision: Precise camera motion is not guaranteed, but usually pretty accurate. Try different models to get different results—each model handles camera movement and motion differently. See the Image-to-Video models guide for details on each model’s capabilities.
Tips for Better Results
- Be specific in your video description — Describe the type of motion, character actions, and environmental dynamics you want
- Experiment with models — Different models excel at different types of motion; try multiple models to find the best fit
- Adjust duration carefully — Shorter clips often render faster and with better quality
- Iterate on settings — If motion isn’t right, adjust the description, duration, or camera movement and regenerate
