VEO2 Image2Video

VEO2 converts a still image into a short HD video while preserving the original look. Elements such as water or clouds animate realistically, making it perfect for turning product photos or artworks into eye‑catching loops. Video length is limited to about eight seconds and the scene cannot change drastically from the source image.

• Accepts both text instructions and an image

Limitations

• Cannot drastically change the composition or add new objects
