Use this setupHow to make a first and last frame video
Pick two images that belong to the same shot, then describe the move that joins them.
Three steps
1. Add both frames
Upload a first and a last image, or choose them from My images. Use the swap button if you added them in the wrong order. Keep subject and framing similar for the smoothest result.
2. Describe the change
Say what moves, what changes and how the camera behaves. One clear transition works better than several.
3. Check the cost and generate
Pick a model, length and resolution. The credit cost shows beside Generate before you submit, and the finished video plays right under the generator.

First and last frame to video: common questions
What the two images do, which models support them and what to expect.
It is a way to make a short video from two images. The first image sets how the clip starts, the last image sets how it ends, and the model generates the movement between them from your description.
Two images of the same subject or place in similar framing connect most smoothly. A day photo and a night photo from the same spot, or one object before and after a change, are typical pairs. If the two images look unrelated, the model has to invent a large jump.
Yes. Use the swap control between the two image slots. Your prompt stays as it is.
The model picker on this page lists only models that take two frames, and it stays on this feature when you switch. Clip length, resolution and sound options differ by model, so the settings you see belong to the model you picked.
A model that takes two images keeps both. If a model cannot use the images you added, SceneWish asks before removing anything and keeps your prompt.
It depends on the model. Some are fixed at 8 seconds, others range from a few seconds up to 30 seconds. The length control only offers values the selected model accepts.
You can, but the model has little to animate and the result may barely move. A first and last frame that differ in one clear way, such as the light, the pose or the setting, give the model something to work with.
The credit cost appears next to Generate and updates when you change the model, length or resolution. A short 480p test costs less than a long 1080p clip, so try a pair of frames small first. You need to sign in to submit, and credits are returned if the model fails to produce the video.
Not always. The model decides how objects move between the frames, so results vary. Keep the change simple, describe one movement, and try another model or a slightly different prompt for another take.
Each example identifies its source. SceneWish recordings include a recorded recipe; external demonstrations are not SceneWish outputs. Their buttons prepare a suggested setup for your own media, and do not reproduce unpublished source settings or start a paid generation.
Yes. Playing and pausing first and last frame video examples does not submit a generation. Use a recorded recipe or a suggested setup to prepare your draft, add your own required media, then check the quote before choosing Generate video.
