Put a still image in motion.
Choose a character photo, a saved Digital Twin, or an Avatar, then add a short reference video that shows the movement you want. Kyndrify uses both inputs to render a new clip, with controls for how the framing follows the image or video and for quality.

Guide the movement with a reference clip.
Transfer a performance
Use a reference clip to guide the pose, gesture, and movement of a character still. The source image provides the subject while the video provides the motion.
Reuse a saved character
Start from a clear character photo, a saved Digital Twin, or an Avatar. Match its framing to the reference video to give the render a stronger starting point.
Build short cutaways
Render a compact motion clip that you can review, trim, and place into a social post, an ad, or a longer edit.
From an idea to a finished file.

Quick answers.
- What is image to video?
- Image to video uses a still image as the visual source for a moving clip. Kyndrify's Motion tool also needs a short reference video, which guides how the subject and camera should move.
- How do I animate a photo?
- Upload a clear character photo or choose a saved Digital Twin or Avatar, then add a short reference-motion video. Choose the orientation match and quality tier, confirm that you have the right to animate the likeness, review the credit cost, and render.
- What kinds of photos work best for image to video?
- Use a clear half-body or full-body photo with one subject. Match the framing and body proportions of the reference video as closely as you can. Review every result for changes to the subject's face or appearance, unexpected motion, and visual artefacts.
- How long are the animated clips?
- The current Motion tool accepts reference videos from four to ten seconds. The output length is derived from that reference clip rather than set with a separate duration slider.
- Where can I use the animated clips?
- You can use outputs in your projects when you have the rights and consent for the source likeness and reference video, your plan permits it, and the use follows our Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. Review the clip and add any disclosure your channel or local rules require.
