Motion

motion

URL signing required

Use of the Image to Video requires using the secured URL feature to prevent unauthorized generative AI usage.

Initiates the transformation of a static image into a dynamic video using a text prompt describing the desired motion effect.

Accepts a URL encoded string based prompt (motion=your%20motion%20description%20here).

Video generation typically takes 30-120+ seconds depending on the model and duration.

Prompt Examples

Here are some effective motion prompts:

  • "camera pans left to right, zooms out for aerial drone view"
  • "slow zoom in on the subject"
  • "camera orbits around the building"
  • "gentle pan across the landscape"
  • "dramatic zoom out revealing the full scene"

Parameter Interactions

The motion parameter works in conjunction with other motion-related parameters:

  • Use motion-duration to control the length of the generated video (default: 5 seconds)
  • Use motion-seed to ensure reproducible results across multiple requests
  • Use motion-model to select which AI model generates the video (default: “klingai”)

Example Usage

Static image:
