From one still to a chain of clips

Animate Still in Studio is the front door. Pick a finished still from Library, or upload a frame the model can lock to. The better the still, the less the clip has to invent. A muddy screenshot becomes a muddy take.

You pay clip coins when you generate, not when you browse. A typical short clip starts in the mid-twenties of coins; 1080p adds a surcharge. The Pricing calculator shows the current yield for the pack you are eyeing. Caps exist so one account cannot melt the queue — packs themselves never expire.

When the first clip lands, Continue buys another short clip that starts on that last frame. Same scene if your prompt holds the room. New blocking if you ask for it. You can do this up to ten clips. We say that twice because people hear “continue” and hope for a two-minute native generation. That is not what the engine sold you.

Ten clips max. The eleventh Continue is refused. Start a new scene. Recreate the look if you want the same wardrobe and light without spending until you hit generate.

Stitch needs at least two finished clips in the same Continue chain. It merges them with a hard cut. It is not a dissolve, not a grade, and not one continuous camera move. The fee is a small join — six coins — because we are concatenating files, not dreaming a new shot.

Watch the chain in order before you Stitch. If clip two drifted, fix that first. Stitch will faithfully join whatever you already made, including the miss.

If the still is you, pin the Face slot first so the clip has a person to keep. Image-to-video without a face lock is fine for places, hands, and weather. It is a weaker plan for “make this stranger walk.” Star yourself, or write a fictional look. The takedown page is for the other case.

You are responsible for prompts, uploads, reference stills, and likeness, publicity, and consent. Generated stills and clips are not guaranteed.
