Frequently asked questions
Can I turn a photo into a video?
Yes. Most video models in chatmodel can start from a photo you upload and bring it to life, for example making the sea move or a person smile. The presets do it in one tap.
How long are the videos?
Usually between a few seconds and half a minute, depending on the model. Each model page says what it can do.
Do the videos have sound?
Some models add sound and even voices, others make silent clips. The model pages say which is which.
What is Motion?
Motion copies a move, like a dance or a gesture, from a short clip onto the person in your photo. Pick a move from the library, add your photo, and chatmodel makes the video.
Is video included in Pro?
Pro includes one video a day, so you can try it. For more, add Studio, an add-on to Pro with many more videos and images every day.
