Planning a short anime video from an image

A short animation works best with a simple motion plan. Decide what moves, what stays still, and how the camera should behave before starting a generation.

Prepare a clear reference image with enough space around the subject. Request one small action, such as a gentle turn or drifting clouds. Review the beginning, middle, and final frames for changing faces, unstable outlines, and unexpected motion.

Keep clips short while experimenting. Download a successful version before trying another variation, and combine approved clips in an editor if you need a longer sequence.
