AI Video Generation

Image to Video​

Image to video converts an image into a 5-second video. Provide a URL to an image to generate an mp4 video file. The video file can be used inside of your Edit or as a standalone asset.

{
    "asset": {
        "type": "image-to-video",
        "src": "https://shotstack-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/images/handbag-flower-peaches.jpg",
        "prompt": "Slowly zoom out and orbit left around the object.",
        "aspectRatio": "16:9"
    },
    "start": 0,
    "length": "auto"
}

This will generate a 16:9 video clip of the supplied image.

The generated video will automatically be cropped to fit the output dimensions of your video. You can change the fit property of the clip to change this behaviour.
