Image to Video

Generate a video starting from an image as the first frame

Updated over a week ago

Single still images--or keyframes--can be used to generate videos with Marey's Image-to-Video control.

How it works

By default, Marey controls on Fal will be displayed as a form but can be switched to an editable JSON, or a read-only text snippet in your preferred langauge. To change the page layout, click 'Form' (default) in layout dropdown menu.

Here's a breakdown of the inputs you'll need to set for image-to-video. For demo purposes, we'll stick to the default 'Form' layout:

  1. Prompt: This is where you'll write your prompt in the Prompt description box. Be descriptive about camera details (e.g. 35mm, handheld shot), scene or environment, subjects and action of your video. Prompts with at least 50 words provide best results.

  2. Image URL: Browse and select an image to use as a starting frame for your video.

  3. Additional Settings: There are a number of additional settings to customize your generations including dimension size, duration, and seed value.

  4. Dimension: Select your preferred video dimension from the drop down menu. By default, videos will be 1920x1080.

  5. Duration: Select either five or 10 second video output. By default, videos will be five seconds.

  6. Negative Prompt: Add or remove negative prompts to help guide the model away from undesirable results.

  7. Seed: Select your desired seed value. Seed determines the randomness and different possibilities of each generation. By default, seed will be set to '9'. Use '-1' for a random seed value.

Preview and Export

Once you click generate your video will begin being processed. Once the generation is finished, the video will be displayed in the 'Result' panel with a 'Download' and 'Share' button below the video.

You can also switch the results to JSON, which will provide you with a URL that can be copy and pasted into a browser for easy sharing and download.
