How to create a video with AI effects

Choose a preset, add a photo, and create a video in GenAI Studio. These steps use examples from the Image to Video Effects collection to illustrate the different looks you can choose.

How to

Pick an AI video effect

Open GenAI Studio and browse Image to Video Effects. Compare the motion and visual style in each preview, then choose a preset that suits your photo. Read its description before you start.

Example shown: Polaroid Printout Video creates a vintage photo reveal.

Photo-to-video effects

Give a still scene cinematic movement

Frozen Time adds a cinematic camera orbit to a still scene. It suits a photo with a clear focal point: a portrait, a travel moment, or an object you want viewers to notice. The movement creates a different impression from changing the photo’s colors alone.

Choose this look when you want the camera movement to carry the idea. Start with a composition that already works, then review the generated clip for changes to the subject and surrounding details. For a product post, check the shape, label, and other details that need to stay accurate.

  • Make movement part of the scene

Try a vintage reveal for your next video

Polaroid Printout Video turns a photo into an instant-camera reveal, with a print sliding into view and a warm, vintage finish. Try it for a trip recap, a portrait, or an everyday moment you want to present like a keepsake.

Use the reveal as the opening to a story, rather than adding several competing effects. A recognizable subject helps the image land when it appears. If you are making a series of posts, choose photos with a similar mood so the clips feel connected. Review the preview first to decide whether its nostalgic style fits your story.

Create an artistic double exposure video

Forest Double Exposure blends a portrait silhouette with trees, fog, and light. Moving woodland details give it an artistic atmosphere that goes beyond a simple tint or color adjustment. It is a useful direction for a nature-inspired portrait, a music teaser, or a personal creative project.

Choose a portrait with a silhouette that reads clearly. The effect’s layered look can make fine details less prominent, so consider what viewers need to recognize. For a profile or a campaign where an exact face or product detail matters, compare this transformation with a subtler camera-motion effect before choosing your result.

Give a personal photo a little movement

Old Photo Comes to Life uses subtle expression and movement to animate a portrait. Its preview shows gentle motion rather than a dramatic scene change. Try this direction when the person in the photo is the focus and you want a quieter result for a family memory or a personal post.

An animated result is a new creative interpretation of the photo. Watch the whole clip and check that the expression feels right before sharing it. Use an image you have permission to upload and share, especially when it includes someone else.

Find a look for the video you want to share

  • Social posts and story openings

    Try a clear reveal or camera move for a portrait, travel moment, or product photo. Keep the opening focused on one subject.

  • Music and creative teasers

    Match the visual mood to the idea: an artistic double exposure for atmosphere, or a vintage reveal for a nostalgic feel.

  • Personal moments

    Give a familiar photo subtle movement. Review the expression and details, then share the result that feels right for the memory.

Choose a video filter or a generative effect

A traditional video filter changes the color or finish of footage you already have. A generative effect can add motion or transform a photo into a new video scene. The Image to Video Effects presets on this page use photo inputs, so they are a fit when you want to create a clip from a still image.

For an existing clip that needs trimming, text, or music, continue in the video editor. For a new scene directed by your own prompt and model choice, explore the AI video generator. Choose a preset here when its ready-made look is the starting point you want.
