Reference to Video
Turn a reference clip and your photos into a new AI video

Reference to Video builds a new clip from a reference video plus your photos. The reference supplies movement, timing, and camera path; your photos supply the subject, outfit, or product. Start from a template or upload a short clip, add photos, and check the credit estimate before you generate.
