First & Last Frame to VideoSet Where the Shot Starts and Ends

Attach two images below: the first one becomes the opening frame, the second the closing frame. Then describe how the camera and the subject get from one to the other. Seedance 2.5 by default; 10 more models take the pair.

Home / Tools / First & Last Frame to Video

Models, limits and prices read from the live generator on October 15, 2026.

An image-to-video model starts from your picture and decides for itself where the shot ends. A first and last frame pins both ends: you choose the opening composition and the closing one, and the model fills in the camera move, the motion and the light in between. It is the tool for transitions, reveals, before-and-after shots, product turns and any clip that has to land on an exact picture.

Eligible new verified accounts may claim up to 5 welcome credits for 7 days after human verification, while the promotion budget is available. This can cover a low-cost image, not a guaranteed free video. New video generation requires sufficient purchased credits or eligible bounded unlimited capacity.

A real first and last frame video: street to stand in 8 seconds

A paid user’s run on Open AI Image, shown unedited apart from compression. The first frame is the outside of an exhibition centre, the last frame is one stand inside the hall, and the instruction asks for one unbroken forward camera move that joins them.

First frame (uploaded image)
First frame: wide daytime view of a glass and steel exhibition centre with visitors walking toward the entrance
Last frame (uploaded image)
Last frame: a white exhibition stand under a curved LED screen, staff and visitors at the counter
Result (8 s, 720p, with sound)
  • Model: Seedance 2.5 · Inputs: first frame + last frame
  • Duration: 8 seconds · Resolution: 720p · Aspect ratio: adaptive (follows the first frame)
  • Audio: on · Content filter: on
  • Each task uses the current generator quote for its model, duration, resolution and references. Identical settings cost the same credits on every plan; subscriptions do not reduce the task credit charge.
  • Time from submit to finished video: 3 min 3 s

The instruction names the two images by role (“starting from the exterior … in the first reference image and ending at the exhibition booth shown in the second”), describes one forward move with the doors opening just before the camera reaches them, asks the model to preserve the building and the stand exactly, rules out cuts and teleporting, and ends by saying the final composition must match the last frame.

Full instruction used for this run
Cinematic continuous camera move starting from the exterior of the exhibition building shown in the first reference image and ending at the exhibition booth shown in the second reference image.

The camera smoothly flies forward toward the main entrance of the building, maintaining a steady, elegant forward motion throughout the entire shot. The building architecture, proportions, facade, materials and environment remain consistent with the first reference image.

As the camera approaches the entrance, the large entrance doors smoothly open automatically just before the camera reaches them. The camera does not stop or slow down significantly — it continues flying forward seamlessly through the open doorway into the building.

Inside, smoothly transition into the exhibition hall and continue the same forward camera movement toward the exhibition booth from the second reference image. The booth gradually becomes the main focus of the shot. Preserve the exact design, geometry, branding, colors, materials and proportions of the exhibition booth from the second reference image.

The entire shot should feel like one continuous uninterrupted camera take with natural cinematic acceleration and deceleration, realistic parallax, convincing depth and spatial continuity. No cuts, no teleportation, no sudden camera changes.

Premium architectural visualization, photorealistic, cinematic lighting, realistic reflections, physically accurate materials, subtle motion blur, smooth stabilized camera movement, high-end commercial film quality.

The camera always moves forward toward the destination. The final composition matches the second reference image, with the exhibition booth clearly visible and prominently framed.

Load both frames and this instruction into the generator to rerun it or swap in your own pictures; nothing starts until you press Generate.

How to make a video from a first and last frame

  1. 1

    Prepare two matching stills

    Use the same aspect ratio for both, ideally the same size. They can be photos, renders or AI images; the closer they are in style and light, the smoother the path between them. Seedance models take JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 30 MB, between 300 and 6,000 pixels a side.

  2. 2

    Attach them in order

    In the generator, attach two images: the first one becomes the first frame and the second one the last frame. On Seedance 1.5 Pro, Kling and Veo you can also pick “First + Last Frames” in the frame menu. A third image on a Seedance model turns the set into reference images instead.

  3. 3

    Describe the path, not the pictures

    The model already sees both frames. Tell it how to get from one to the other: the camera move, what changes on the way, the pace, and that the shot ends on the last frame.

  4. 4

    Pick model, length and resolution, then generate

    Choose one of the 11 models, the length and the resolution. The composer shows the exact credit cost before you start; failed or refused runs are not charged.

Starter instruction:

One continuous shot from the first frame to the last frame. The camera [describe the move, e.g. glides forward through the doorway] while [describe what changes]. Keep the subject, materials and light consistent, no cuts. End exactly on the composition of the last frame.

Models that support first and last frames

Each task uses the current generator quote for its model, duration, resolution and references. Identical settings cost the same credits on every plan; subscriptions do not reduce the task credit charge.

No model quotes are currently available. Please try again later.

Available models, resolutions and reference formats are shown in the generator. Credit-mode concurrency is 1 for Lite, 4 for Pro and 8 for Premium. A model guide is not a guarantee that every discussed model is currently enabled.

Tips for a smooth path between two frames

  • Keep the two frames in one world: same subject, same light direction, same lens feel. A path the camera could really travel produces a smooth shot; two unrelated pictures produce a morph.
  • Say the route in the instruction. “The camera flies forward through the open doors into the hall” gives the model a path; “transition from image 1 to image 2” leaves it guessing.
  • Name what must not change (the building, the product, the logo, the face) and ask for “one continuous shot, no cuts” when you want a single take.
  • Give the move enough time. A big change of place needs 8 seconds or more; a small turn of a product reads well in 4 to 5.
  • For a seamless loop, use the same image as first and last frame and describe a motion that returns to its start.
  • Real people’s faces and copyrighted characters can be refused under the model providers’ content rules. A refused run is not charged.

When to use another tool

You only have the opening picture
Image to video. One image becomes the first frame and the model decides where the shot goes.
A character or product has to look the same across shots
Reference to video. Three or more images on a Seedance model act as references for identity and style, not as fixed frames.
You already have the clip and it ends too early
AI video extender. Continues an existing video from its last frame for 4 to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5.
The shot does not exist yet
Text to video. Write the scene and generate it, then reuse a frame you like as the first frame of the next shot.

First and last frame to video FAQ

What is first and last frame to video?
It is image-to-video with two images instead of one. You upload the frame the clip should start on and the frame it should end on, write how the shot gets from one to the other, and the model generates the motion in between. Some tools call it start and end frame or keyframe video.
Which AI video models support first and last frames?
On Open AI Image, 11 models: Seedance 2.5, 2.0, 2.0 Fast, 2.0 Mini and 1.5 Pro, Kling 3.0, Kling O3, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Pro, Wan 3.0 and MiniMax H3. SeeDance 1 Pro Fast takes a first frame only.
Does adding a last frame cost more?
Each task uses the current generator quote for its model, duration, resolution and references. Identical settings cost the same credits on every plan; subscriptions do not reduce the task credit charge.
Can I Explore first and last frame to video?
Eligible new verified accounts may claim up to 5 welcome credits for 7 days after human verification, while the promotion budget is available. This can cover a low-cost image, not a guaranteed free video. New video generation requires sufficient purchased credits or eligible bounded unlimited capacity.
Can I upload only a last frame?
Only on MiniMax H3, which can work backwards from a closing image. Every other model needs a first frame; the generator will not send a last frame on its own to them.
Can I combine first and last frames with reference images?
Not in the same run. On the Seedance models, two images are a first and last frame; three or more become a reference group that guides identity and style without fixing the opening or closing picture.
How long can a first and last frame video be?
It depends on the model: up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0, up to 15 on Seedance 2.0 Fast and Mini, Kling 3.0, Kling O3 and MiniMax H3, up to 12 on Seedance 2.0 and 1.5 Pro, and 4, 6 or 8 seconds on Veo 3.1.
Why does my video morph instead of moving?
The two frames are too far apart for a believable path, or the instruction does not describe one. Use frames from the same scene and lighting, describe the camera route and what changes, and give a large move 8 seconds or more.
