Animate an image with controlled motion

Preserve the image, direct the motion

An image already defines the subject, framing and much of the style. The prompt should concentrate on movement, timing, camera behavior and which details must stay unchanged.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Choose a clean image
   Use a sharp source with a clear subject and enough room for the intended movement.
2. Describe subject motion
   State the exact gesture, environmental movement or transformation.
3. Set camera behavior
   Choose a static camera, gentle push-in, orbit, pan or another controlled movement.
4. Protect continuity
   Ask to preserve identity, clothing, product shape, colors and background structure where needed.
