FAQs

How do you animate still images into video clips?

If you're using the Blotato web app to make videos:

• open your draft video in the editor

• click on a GREEN image

• on the left side, click "Create Animated Image" purple button

• select image-to-video AI model

• click "Generate"

• wait ~5 minutes

💡PRO tip: you can animate multiple images simultaneously, so that you shorten the length of time you have to wait.

If you're using the Blotato API to make videos:

When you call blotato's Create Video API endpoint, you can optionally animate the first image in your video, or animate all the images in your video.

Check out the API docs here: https://help.blotato.com/api-reference/create-video

However, keep in mind animating videos can cost quite a bit of credits, so I recommend using Framepack because it's the cheapest and works decently.

Does the Blotato video editor work on mobile phones?

The Blotato video editor doesn't have mobile support yet, so features are limited and the UX isn't great. I'm working on a better mobile web version that should be coming in ~2 months.
