Tips & Tricks

To get the best results with Posternity Image to Video, consider the following recommendations:

Image Preparation

  • High-resolution images: Use clear subjects centered in the frame
  • Avoid busy backgrounds: Overexposed or cluttered backgrounds may not animate smoothly
  • Clear focal point: Ensure your main subject is well-defined and prominent
  • Good lighting: Consistent lighting helps maintain visual quality

Prompt Guidelines

  • Directional cues: Use prompts like "a woman walking in the rain" or "robot turning around" to guide motion
  • Specific actions: Describe the desired movement clearly and concisely
  • Style integration: Combine motion descriptions with style preferences
  • Avoid complex scenes: Keep prompts focused on single actions or movements

Negative Prompts

  • Suppress artifacts: Use "no glitches", "no shaking", "no distortion"
  • Preserve integrity: Try "no blur, no color change" to maintain image quality
  • Control motion: Use "no rapid movement" for subtle animations
  • Maintain style: Add "no style change" to preserve original aesthetics

Duration & Quality

  • 5 seconds: Ideal for maintaining motion smoothness, especially for complex images
  • 8 seconds: Better for more elaborate movements and detailed animations
  • 720p: Best balance between detail and processing speed
  • 1080p: Higher quality but may increase rendering time
  • 360p: Good for quick previews and faster processing

Motion Mode Selection

  • Normal mode: Ideal for subtle, natural transitions and everyday movements
  • Fast mode: Creates more exaggerated motion, suitable for action scenes or dynamic concepts
  • Character poses: Use fast mode for cinematic turns, jumps, or dramatic movements

Style Selection

  • Anime: Perfect for cartoon-style animations and character movements
  • 3D Animation: Creates three-dimensional effects and depth
  • Clay: Adds a unique, sculptural quality to animations
  • Comic: Ideal for graphic novel-style visual effects
  • Cyberpunk: Works best with city scenes or dark color palettes
  • Realism: Avoid stylized modes unless intended for artistic effect

Seed Values

  • Fixed seeds: Use values like 42 or 12345 for reproducible results
  • Random seeds: Leave empty to allow creative variations
  • Experimentation: Try different seeds with the same inputs to explore motion variations

  • Scene Transformation Limits: Not suitable for full-scene transformations or rapid zoom effects
  • Style Saturation: Some styles may produce overly saturated results depending on the input
  • Prompt Influence: Prompt guidance influences motion subtly; do not expect major scene changes from text
  • Detail Preservation: Style and motion effects may override or distort fine image details
  • Abstract Content: Content with highly abstract or cluttered elements may not animate smoothly
  • Text and Logos: Text or logos in the image may get distorted during motion generation

Key Considerations

To achieve the best results with Posternity Image to Video, keep these important factors in mind:

Important Factors

  • Content Complexity: Content with highly abstract or cluttered elements may not animate smoothly
  • Text and Logo Handling: Text or logos in the image may get distorted during motion generation
  • Duration Support: Videos longer than 8 seconds are not supported
  • Motion Consistency: Fast motion mode may reduce frame-to-frame consistency in complex scenes
  • Color Tone Override: Styles may override some natural color tones from the original image
  • Input Quality: High-resolution image inputs are dynamically scaled based on selected output quality
  • Frame Interpolation: Duration and motion modes affect frame interpolation depth and speed transitions
