Say what moves or start from an example; it cuts out stickers too. Drop a GIF in to fix one frame or carry it on. ## When to reach for something else Not for clips with sound or camera moves, or anything longer than a few seconds: make a video for those. Not for changing the look: it keeps the picture as it is and only adds motion. ## How to use it 1. Write what you want in **Prompt**. 2. Pick a mode on the card: **Animate**, **Fix a frame**, **Continue**. 3. Press **Run**. ## On the card | Control | What it does | Choices | | - | - | - | | Picture or GIF | | | | Prompt | What you want, in your own words.
