How to Generate an AI Video from One Image? A Guide to Using First and Last Frames and Reference Images in NadouPro

To make a static image move, you can start with image references and a motion description. NadouPro supports first-and-last-frame generation and multi-reference video generation, allowing creators to choose the appropriate reference method based on the needs of the scene.

First determine what role the image plays in the video

First and last frames: describe the change between the starting point and the ending point

First-and-last-frame generation constrains the opening and ending visuals of a video through a starting image, an ending image, and a prompt. It is suitable for creative needs where the opening and closing compositions are already clear and the intermediate motion process needs to be filled in. When preparing images, it is recommended to check whether the subject, scene, and action can connect in a reasonable way.

Multi-reference: explain what information each asset provides

NadouPro's multi-reference video generation supports combining assets such as images, videos, and audio with prompts. When using multiple assets, you should clearly state the purpose of each one, such as character appearance, scene atmosphere, or motion reference. The specific input combinations and limits depend on the selected model.

How should prompts be written for generating video from images?

Focus on adding action and camera changes

When the image already provides visual information, you can prioritize explaining how the subject moves, how the environment changes, and how the camera moves.

Example

The person in the frame slowly raises their head and looks into the distance, while the hem of their clothing sways gently in the wind. The camera slowly pushes in and finally stops on a close-up of the face.

Start by checking simple actions

It is recommended to first generate around one main action and review the result, then gradually add other requirements. This makes it easier to determine whether the action description, reference assets, or camera arrangement needs to be modified. NadouPro's Canvas can organize image, video, and text nodes, making it convenient to manage reference assets and generation steps together.

FAQ
Does NadouPro support using images in video generation?

Yes. Documented features include first-and-last-frame generation and multi-reference video generation.

What is the difference between first and last frames and multi-reference?

The former constrains the starting and ending visuals, while the latter provides creative references through multiple assets.

Can images and audio be referenced at the same time?

The platform supports multimodal references, with the specific combinations depending on the selected model.

If the image is already very detailed, is a prompt still needed?

Yes. You need to add the intended action and camera movement to help clarify how the scene should change.
