## What the workflow adds

The imggpt video generator takes the visuals you already produce and gives them motion. It is built around image-to-video: the still is the input, so the composition and product detail you approved survive into the clip.

### Image to video first

Upload a frame you already have and describe only the movement. The look is settled before generation starts.

### Text to video when nothing exists

A written scene works too, for the cases where there is no asset yet and you are still finding the direction.

### Composition holds

Product angle, character and framing carry from the still into the clip instead of being reinterpreted.

### Sized for social from the start

Vertical, square and wide are chosen before generating so the motion is framed for the feed it is going to.

## Why Animate an Approved Frame

Starting from a still removes the largest source of variation in generated video.

### Sign-off happens once

The frame that passed review is the frame that ships, which matters when someone has to approve the asset.

### Fewer takes to something usable

With the look fixed, iteration is only about motion, and motion converges faster than a whole scene.

### A campaign that matches

Animating from the same key visuals keeps a set of clips recognisably related.

## How to Turn an Image Into Video

Four steps from an existing still to a clip.

### Start with the best version of the frame

Compression artefacts in the source carry into the motion, so upload the original rather than a resized copy.

### Describe movement, not the picture

The image already says what is there. Say what moves, how fast, and where the camera goes.

### Name what should stay still

Protecting the parts that must not move is as useful as describing the parts that should.

### Compare takes on motion alone

Generate a couple from the same still and choose on movement, since the look is already decided.

## Frequently Asked Questions About GPT Image and imggpt

Answers about imggpt as a GPT Image generator, photo editor, effects workspace, and all-in-one creative platform.

### How does imggpt turn an image into video?

imggpt animates from a frame you supply, so the opening composition is decided before any motion exists - the single most reliable control you have over a clip.

### How much movement should one clip contain?

One action. Prompts that describe a sequence of events tend to return none of them cleanly, so short clips cut together beat one long request.

### Why does my subject drift mid-clip?

Too much described at once. State a single continuous action and an explicit camera move rather than leaving the model to invent one.

### Do I need my own hardware?

No. Rendering happens remotely, so what you can attempt is not limited by the machine you are on.

### How do I keep a character stable across shots?

Animate every shot from the same still and vary only the camera instruction. Re-describing the person in words invites reinterpretation.

### How many credits does imggpt Video Generator use?

imggpt Video Generator draws between 16 and 520 credits per run, depending on the model and length chosen in the form.

### What happens to the files I upload to imggpt Video Generator?

An upload is stored against your own account, not pooled with other people's.

How long anything else is kept, and which processors handle it, is stated in the privacy policy.
