# Video Generation

> Generate short clips from text, or animate a start frame into a video.

## What it does (and when to use it)

Use video generation when you want motion from a prompt, or you want to turn an image into a short clip.

Common use cases:

* UGC style ads and short social videos
* Product demos featuring a Persona
* Simple motion: subtle camera movement, background motion, or scene animation

## Workflow

1. Choose a video model
2. Set duration and generation settings
3. (Optional) Add a **start frame** image if you want the video to match a specific look
4. Write what should move, and what should stay consistent
5. Generate, then iterate on pacing, motion, and style

<Info>
  Some video models require a start frame, and some models do not support attachments. If generation is blocked, switch models or add the required reference.
</Info>

## Tips for better results

* If you want a consistent subject, include a start frame
* Be explicit about motion: “slow push-in”, “subtle parallax”, “handheld”, “static camera”
* Keep clips short while iterating, then increase duration once you like the style
