  • Short description: Animate one supplied still with bounded subject and camera motion while preserving identity and composition.

What this skill does

  • Adds controlled motion to a still rather than regenerating an unrelated scene.
  • Separates subject, environmental and camera motion to reduce warping.

How to use

Provide one image, desired motion, camera behavior, duration and audio preference.

Example

Animate this still life for 5 seconds: candle flickers, curtain moves slightly, camera locked; preserve every object.

Workflow

  1. Map subjects, depth layers, protected geometry and allowed motion per region.
  2. Write one primary motion plus subtle secondary motion; avoid conflicting camera instructions.
  3. Run the kling model route with modelName: Kling_3_0, one source image, one result, 5 seconds and audio off by default. Never treat ai-image-animation as a model.
  4. Inspect identity, edge stability, ending, motion amplitude and added-object errors.
