Overview
Z Video is an image to video AI generator that turns a still photograph into a short 1080p video clip with sound. The uploaded photo becomes frame one, and a short motion brief tells the model how the camera should move, so faces, products and packaging stay faithful to the source image instead of being reinvented by text-to-video. Z Video runs in the browser with nothing to install, and the generate button shows the exact credit cost before anything is queued.
Key Features
- Four video models in one workspace: Sora 2, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Quality and Seedance 1.5 Pro share the same source frame.
- Native synced audio: Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 render picture and sound together.
- 16:9 and 9:16 output: one photo serves a website hero, a YouTube clip and a vertical Reel or Short.
- Flexible length and resolution: 8 seconds on Veo 3.1, 10 or 15 seconds on Sora 2, and 4, 8 or 12 seconds at 480p, 720p or 1080p on Seedance 1.5 Pro.
- AI Image tab: upscale, remove the background, uncrop or remove a watermark before animating.
- Text-to-video: leave the upload empty and describe the full scene in the prompt.
Use Cases
- Ecommerce: turn an existing packshot into an orbit or push-in product video without a reshoot.
- Social media: cut several 9:16 Reels and Shorts from one approved hero image.
- Agencies: animate founder and spokesperson portraits that keep the real face.
- Studios: build a consistent series from a single character still.
