What it does
Upload a still image and it animates it - clouds drift, water moves, a subject shifts slightly, and the camera often adds a slow push or pull. There is no text prompt: the motion is inferred from the picture, so you take what you get and try again if it is wrong. Clips run two to four seconds with no audio, and faces and hands distort easily, making it a poor fit for photographs of people. The model licence could not be confirmed for commercial work.
