Why comic panels and artwork suits AI video
A panel is already composed like a shot, so a camera move that follows the action feels natural. A voiceover can read a caption or a line of narration while the camera moves across the art.
What to put in your photo
- Your own panel, scanned or exported at high resolution
- One panel at a time, not a whole page
- Lettering kept short, since text can distort when the image moves
An example you can adapt
Example photo: A hand-drawn panel of a lone figure on a rooftop above a neon city.
Example voiceover: "The city never sleeps. Neither does she." That script is 7 words, so the video falls in the "Up to 5 seconds" length and costs 1 credit in Full HD or 2 credits in 4K.
Sound and camera
- Slow zoom in builds tension; pan across suits a wide establishing panel
- Dramatic music, or a short narration line
- Vertical 9:16 for social teasers, horizontal for a trailer-style banner
Mistakes to avoid
- Animating artwork or characters you do not own or have a licence to use
- Dense speech bubbles, which can warp, so remove them first and use a voiceover instead

Yes. Every Create video has built-in sound: music in ten AI-generated styles, or a voiceover of up to 50 words, which is up to 20 seconds. Lip-sync is available through Talking photo, which makes the face in a photo speak a script of up to about 20 words in 4 or 8 seconds.
