Review or rewrite the script, then generate. Logged-in users get one free clip per day; extra runs cost 50 credits.
What is Image to Video?
Upload a comic panel, illustration, or photo. Describe how the camera should move. AI writes a 5-second motion script from the still plus your idea, then MiniMax turns it into a short video.
