Start creating in Chat ↗Motion starts from an exact still
Choose one eligible image and confirm it is bound to the request before describing movement.
Direct the motion
Ask for a slow camera move and soft steam around the selected product image. Review the supported image-to-video route, settings and credit cost.
Inspect the saved clip
Play the short result beside the source still. Check product details, motion and framing, then decide whether to download or add the clip to a set.
The still remains the source
The output is a separate clip with source lineage, not a video timeline. For a scene written without an image, see Text to video.
An AskGL request you can try

Creation notes
Prepare your starting point
Choose a still with a clear subject and framing suited to the movement. Bind that exact eligible image to the compatible operation and describe what should move. Inspect the supported source and settings before preparation; other reference types and audio need their own enabled controls.
Compare compatible modelsReview what you keep
Compare recognizable details throughout the clip with the starting still. Check background movement and whether the ending stays useful to the brief. Keep source and child clip identifiable before downloading or collecting the selected video, and review a new motion request separately.

Is every catalog capability enabled?
No. Catalog candidates, registered integrations and currently enabled workspace choices are different. Check support stage and the actual preparation controls.
How should I choose the next tool?
Use the contextual links for the source, artifact or decision you have now. A feature explains a tool, a workflow explains its steps and an output guide explains the saved result.
