Animate an Image with AI
Upload the frame you want to preserve, then describe the subject movement, camera direction, pacing, and atmosphere. Nano Banana Pro turns that visual starting point into a short AI video.
What this workflow gives you
Practical controls and model-specific capabilities for animate an image with ai inside Nano Banana Pro.
Start from a defined first frame
Use a portrait, product shot, illustration, or concept image to anchor the subject, composition, color, and visual identity of the clip.
Direct motion and camera
Describe how the subject moves, what the environment does, and whether the camera pans, tracks, pushes in, pulls back, or remains still.
Choose the motion model
Compare Veo, Kling, and Seedance based on supported frame controls, duration, resolution, aspect ratio, audio, speed, and credit cost.
Review and refine
Inspect the completed clip, return to the prompt and settings, and change one direction at a time to improve the next iteration.
Plan your credit use
Compare Nano Banana Pro plans and one-time credits before choosing a model and output setting.
