Welcome to the Riverflow video creation guide! This article will walk you through the various ways you can bring your product imagery to life using our app.
Getting Started
To begin, select an image from your Photo Shoots or Images section and click the Generate Video button [00:33].
1. Animating a Single Image
The simplest way to add motion is by using a single reference image:
Custom Motion Prompts: If you prefer more control, you can write your own motion description. Keep your prompts short and clear, focusing on simple instructions for camera movement [01:18].
2. Creating Transitions with Start and End Frames
For more complex actions, you can use two images:
Select Between two images as your starting point [02:55].
Choose your Start Frame and your End Frame [02:59].
Write a simple prompt describing the transition, such as "a hand coming into the frame and placing the perfume on the rock" [03:16].
Set the duration (e.g., 3 seconds) and click Generate [03:31].
3. Generating Video from Text
If you don't have a reference image, you can use the Text to Video option:
Pro Tips for Best Results
Model Choice: We recommend using the Kling model for its excellent performance in creating simple, smooth product motions [01:48].
Match Your Aspect Ratio: Ensure the video aspect ratio you select matches your original image to avoid black bars around your video [02:31].
Keep it Simple: Video models handle short, clear instructions better than overly detailed prompts [01:24].
