Consistency Modes
Choose how your product appears in the generated video. Different modes offer different trade-offs between motion quality and product accuracy.
Standard
Direct image-to-video generation. The AI has full creative control over motion, which can result in more dynamic videos but may alter product details slightly.
Keyframe First
RecommendedCreates a scene keyframe first, then animates from that frame. This produces smoother, more controlled motion while maintaining better product consistency.
Pixel-Locked
ExactKeeps the exact product pixels static while only animating the background. Perfect when you need absolute fidelity to the original product image.
Best for: Product showcases, e-commerce listings, catalog videos where product accuracy is critical.
Tip: Start with "Keyframe First" for most product videos. It offers the best balance of motion quality and product accuracy. Use "Pixel-Locked" when product fidelity is more important than dynamic motion.
Edit Your Videos
After generating a video, you can enhance it with powerful editing tools. Access these from any video in your library.
Extend Video
Add more time to your video. The AI will continue the motion naturally from where it ended.
Cost: 4-9 credits (varies by model)
Refine Video
Regenerate with adjustments. Keep what works and fix what doesn't by providing new guidance.
Cost: 4-9 credits (varies by model)
Add Captions
Auto-generate subtitles for your video. Perfect for social media where most viewers watch without sound.
Cost: 1 credit
Add Voiceover
Add AI narration to your video. Choose from multiple voices and provide your script.
Cost: 2 credits
Background Replacement
Replace the background of your video while keeping your product perfectly intact. Great for placing products in different scenes or removing distracting backgrounds.
How It Works
- 1Open a video from your library and click "Replace Background"
- 2Click on your product to tell the AI what to KEEP (not what to remove)
- 3Choose a new background: solid color, gradient, or upload your own image
- 4Preview and confirm to generate your new video
Background Replacement
3 creditsProcessing typically takes 1-2 minutes. The AI analyzes each frame to ensure your product is perfectly preserved while seamlessly replacing the background.
Tip: For best results, use videos where your product is clearly visible and doesn't overlap with important background elements.
Troubleshooting
Generation failed or timed out
Credits are automatically refunded for failed generations. Try: reducing image complexity, using a different model, or contact support if the issue persists.
Poor video quality
Ensure your source image is high resolution and well-lit. Try Kling 2.6 Pro for highest quality output. Consider using a cleaner background.
Unexpected motion results
Refine your motion prompt to be more specific. Create a Product Profile to define motion rules. Try different AI models for different styles.
