Helpful tips on Image-to-Video generation in Pika Labs.

Your image is the first frame, so you cannot make large changes such as a dog going from sitting to running around. Describe the image you attached (subject and background) and the specific movement you want. For example, if you attach an image of a dog sitting on grass with a prompt:

/animate prompt: A dog, his fur and ears are moving in the wind, sitting on grass

you should avoid: “Animate this image” “Natural Movement” “Make it move” because generic statements like this often will not work.
