What is First Frame / Last Frame?
Specifying both the starting and ending frames for AI video generation. Gives precise control over the beginning and end states.
How it works
First-frame/last-frame generation lets you define exactly what the video should look like at the start and end, with the AI generating the motion between them. This is one of the most powerful control mechanisms for professional AI video because it gives you precise control over both endpoints. You can ensure the video starts with the composition you want and ends at a specific frame. The AI interpolates the motion between these two states. This technique is particularly useful for product reveals (start with product hidden, end with product visible), transitions (define both visual states), and controlled camera movements.
