Editorial desk
The editorial desk behind this guide. Model behaviour, limits and licence terms are reported with the date they were checked, because all three change without notice.
Editorial standards
- No paid placements. We do not accept payment for a placement, a ranking or a favourable review. Where a link earns a commission, the page carrying it says so.
- No untested claims. We do not say we have tried something we have not. Prices and plan details supplied by a provider are labelled as indicative rather than presented as our own findings.
- No page for the sake of a keyword. A destination gets a page when there is something specific to say about it. That is why the site is small.
- Corrections are made in public. A factual fix is applied to the page and the update date changes with it.

How Image-to-Video Generation Actually Works and How to Get a Usable Clip
Image-to-video models predict pixel motion from a single still using latent diffusion with temporal attention—they do not understand the scene. Here is how the pipeline works and why the output behaves the way it does.
