Using several photos as references in one clip

Most photo animation starts from one picture. AnimateImage also has a mode for several photos at once, where the pictures act as reference images rather than a single starting frame.

When to choose it over the other two modes:

• One photo is right when you want that exact picture to move.
• Two photos fit when you know the start and the end.
• Several photos help when the clip needs a person, a product or a place to look consistent, but not frozen in one pose.

Good reference sets show the same subject from a few angles under similar light. Mixed styles, such as a drawing next to a photo, give the model conflicting signals.

Describe the motion in plain words, choose from 18 video models, and keep the first test short and low-resolution before you spend credits on a longer clip.
