Why this matters
Once you've built a bank of static product images, the natural next step is turning them into motion — animated product reels, floating elements, subtle rotation — without shooting new footage. This lesson establishes the basic image-to-video Workflow you'll reuse throughout this module, using product images already created in earlier modules.
What you'll build
A basic image-to-video Workflow in ImagineArt that animates a static product image (in this case, a CGI-style graphic with floating globules) using a connected Copilot node and video node.
Step-by-step
Start with an existing image. Select a product image you've already generated — this lesson uses a CGI graphic with floating globules and the product centered in frame.
Add a Copilot node. Right-click on the workspace and select Copilot node.
Add a video node. Right-click again and select Video node.
Choose your model. In the properties panel, select your video model — this lesson uses Kling 2.5.
Set your output properties.
Resolution: 720p
Aspect ratio: 9:16
Audio: optional — toggle on or off depending on your needs (enabled in this example)
Duration: 10 seconds
Write your prompt in the Copilot node. Describe the motion you want to see (e.g. floating background elements, subtle product rotation) — the Copilot node will refine it for you.
Connect the nodes.
Attach the image node to the Copilot node.
Attach the Copilot node to the video node (Kling 2.5).
Attach the reference image directly to Kling 2.5 as well.
Select your generation count. Click and drag to select both the Copilot node and the video node. In the bottom-right corner, set the number of runs — three generations is a good starting point for comparing variations.
Run the Workflow. Select Run and wait for your video variations to generate.
Review your results. Compare the generated variations — in this example, the background globules float, and the product rotates and drifts slightly within the frame — and choose the one that best fits your use case.
Takeaway
A connected Copilot + video node Workflow lets you animate any existing product image into a motion reel — a simple prompt describing the desired motion, refined through the Copilot node, is often enough to produce usable results across several variations.
