1. Start with a source image
Use your own photo, product shot, anime keyframe, storyboard frame, or a still generated with GPT Image 2.
These prompts animate your uploaded image. They do not create the source image. Pick a motion recipe for movie shots, product videos, anime motion, AI hug, AI kiss, AI dance, talking photos, or social clips, then open Image to Video with a clearer motion plan.

Use your own photo, product shot, anime keyframe, storyboard frame, or a still generated with GPT Image 2.
Use the card that matches the motion you want: dolly-in, camera push, orbit, blink, wind, hug, kiss, dance, or parallax.
Use the prompt as motion direction for the uploaded image, then generate a real clip in the image-to-video tool.

Use the prompt library as the middle step: choose a source image workflow first, copy a prompt cluster here, then open the live image to video generator with a clearer motion plan. This is not a bulk prompt page strategy.
Product video prompts work best when the source frame already looks like an ecommerce hero image, launch visual, or packaging scene. These prompts keep commercial intent close to the generator and pricing path.
IMGVID.ai keeps prompts in one useful library to avoid thin duplicate pages. Prioritize US and other high-value markets, clear source-image guidance, and conversion paths over mass-produced long-tail pages.
Use subject, action, camera movement, style, and constraints. Image-to-video works best when the source image already contains the subject and composition.
Use image to video prompts for general source frames, product video prompts for ecommerce assets, character video prompts for portraits or anime, and social video prompts for short creator clips.
Avoid minors, public-figure impersonation, non-consensual romantic content, sexualized dance prompts, real brand logos, and copyrighted characters.
Generate a keyframe, product image, storyboard, or poster with GPT Image 2 first, then use one of these prompts in Image to Video.
