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-durationto control the length of the generated video (default: 5 seconds) - Use
motion-seedto ensure reproducible results across multiple requests - Use
motion-modelto select which AI model generates the video (default: “klingai”)
Example Usage
