What is AI Image to Video?
Image to video, often called I2V, is the process of turning a still image into a moving scene using AI. You start with a single frame and a few instructions, and the model animates it by adding motion, depth, and perspective. It is like giving a photograph a heartbeat. The system predicts how elements should move, how light should shift, and how the environment should evolve, creating a smooth video sequence from a static image.
I2V is transforming how creators and marketers approach motion content. It bridges photography and video, making it possible to test concepts, build ads, and produce entire libraries of clips without a camera crew. At COEY, we see I2V as motion in fast forward, where one frame becomes a full story and imagination moves in real time.
